Jr. Pac-Man is a solid if not-as-common home port for the 2600, and really pushes the machine to its limit graphically and from a gameplay standpoint, as there’s a lot more complexity to Jr. Pac-Man than the previous two games. The screen scrolls as there’s a larger playing field, and the toys (which replace fruit) leave pellets that will slow Jr. down, leaving him to the mercy of the ghosts.

As the playfield is larger and the number of power pellets hasn’t changed from the last two games, it’s much more difficult than Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man, and that’s for ANY platform you play it on. That said, if you’re looking for an official release of a Pac-Man game on the Atari 2600, and Ms. Pac-Man isn’t available to you, this is a good game to have.
