This video covers official versions of PacMan only, so please don’t ask for clones or homebrew versions. Despite our best efforts we weren't able to add all licensed ports we know, such as PC8001mkII, Windows Phone and Windows (2004) games. If we manage to get all of them in the future we could make an extended version of this video.

Namco published many J2ME versions in order to support the wide variety of mobile screen sizes of the time. We have included three of them with noticeably different screen resolutions under the J2ME label.

PacMan Collection (GBA), Namco Museum 50th Anniversary (GBA) and the Game Gear, Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions features two game modes, one that shows the whole game scenery and another with scroll. This video features both modes.

Regarding the Android port, since its first release in 2009, Namco developed several different versions of the game featuring brand new modes and features. This video presents the original version from 2009, which is the most similar to the Arcade, and the one released in 2018.
