What makes this different from original Pac-Man?
This edition features color-enhanced graphics tailored for the Game Boy Color and includes Pac-Attack as a bonus game, offering both arcade action and puzzle gameplay in one cartridge.
Can I play as the ghosts?
No, you only control Pac-Man in the main game. Pac-Attack involves strategic block placement where Pac-Man eliminates ghosts within the puzzle grid.
Are there power-ups besides Power Pellets?
The core Pac-Man game retains the original Power Pellets only. Pac-Attack introduces special blocks like skulls that clear adjacent tiles when matched.
