Unless you're a completist going for the whole Classic NES Series or you're some sort of fiend for the NES version of Pac-Man, this rerelease really isn't worth your time ...
This is a solid rendition of Pac-Man, but considering how many other ways there are to play Pac-Man out there, it's not your best choice.
