FULL ENTRY COMING SOON!
Not to be mistaken for A-J Games's Pac or Erwin Bergervoet's PC-Man.
This is Gary Acord's most recent game and the sequel to Pakdream, which is in turn a sequel to Zapak. It's very long.
Honestly, this isn't too bad. Gary Acord came up with a few interesting solutions for Xferplay-based Pac-Man clones, and this one has plenty of variety to it. On its own, without any of the cross-comparisons to Acord's other games, Zapak would be sort of notable in a few respects.
After finishing this game, he went back and trickled its levels and some of its other elements into all of the other games in his catalog. All of the levels here seem more or less original, and therefore would be the template for most of the Pac Man-style maze levels in most of the other Acord games.
