What’s the best Pac man game?

I’m looking for the best Pac Man handheld/tabletop game around. I’ve been looking at these so far:

Coleco Pac Man/MS Pac Man
Tomy Pac Man
Gakken Puck Monster
MGA Mini Pac Man
Bandai Packri Monster
Entex Pac Man 2

I think that the Tomy game may be out, due to the fact that you can only eat the dots moving left.

I also prefer games that somehow displays level advancement. Like the fruits in Colecos Ms. Pac man.

I've always been partial to Entex Pac-Man 2. It has the closest representation of the actual maze of the arcade game and keeps track of what level you are on (just counting 1, 2, 3, not cherry, strawberry, etc though). The hardest mode also has 4 ghosts chasing you (some games have a max of 2 or 3 if I remember correctly...)

Of all the ones I've played, it was the best in terms of play-ability for sure.

Granted, the Coleco Pac-Man (and Ms) looks the coolest. Cool

Thanks Rik.

I think I'll look for the Entex version. Can you also recommend Turtles from Entex?

That one I'm not sure about... I've never played the arcade game, and only played the handheld a few times years ago, so I don't know if it's a good home version or not...

Entex Defender is one of my favorites.

For me the best play is Coleco Ms Pac Man, the maze changes like the arcade and i just love the challenge of that game !
