Pac-Man's nemesis, Toc-Man, has kidnapped Ms. Pac-Man, Pac Jr., Baby Pac, Professor Pac, Pooka (from DIG DUG) and Chomp Chomp the dog-pac. Now it's up to Pac-Man to find and rescue his friends from Toc-Man's hiding spots, which include desert islands, deep-space outposts, and mine shafts. A gameplay departure from the older titles in this series, PAC-MAN WORLD plays more like MARIO 64, but still retains the feel of the classic PAC-MAN.
