Pac-Attack is a puzzle game developed by Namco and released on home consoles in 1993 and handhelds 1994. Over the years, the game has been re-released on numerous Namco compilations and digital stores. In Europe and Japan, Pac-Attack was actually known as Pac-Panic. Strangely enough, in 1995 Philips licensed Pac-Panic and ported the game to their failing CD-i. However, it remained a European exclusive, never making it to North America.
