Not what I expectedsics2021-07-05Version 1.4.0

I think it's a great idea, although I'm not convinced that the possibility of playing the original game is completely lost and yet the rom still weighs 2mg...

It would be great to be able to access both games or have them separated completely.

(I recommend it, because it delivers what it promises, although I feel it's not made for me)

For many years, I used Tony Hedstrom's Game Genie codes to get faster access to the arcade games. But this hack does exactly what it says by allowing you to select them right from the start. Very well done! Load this onto your flash carts today and have a power pellet chomping good time! (:v o o o o)

A good hack that gives access to 2 great games!FUTURA2021-01-06Version 1.0

This hack brings out hidden gems Pac-Man and Pac-Jr within an existing Mega Drive/Genesis game, which is great!

The games are entertaining enough and it's good to see those games on a Mega Drive/Genesis. They control fairly well, even if some of the sound effects sound strange being emulated on Mega Drive/Genesis hardware.

While I do recommend this patch and I give major kudos to those who worked on this patch, there is only one improvement that would make this patch the greatest:

To add a new custom Menu screen when selecting one of the two games, or make the menu screen black, similar to that of the menu screen of the games themselves.

That's all. Go play Pac-Man and Pac-Jr on your Genesis/Mega Drive!
