A solid Pac-Man and Tetris hybrid on the Genesis whose strength is the head-to-head mode.
On the Genesis this puzzler is titled Pac-Attack, and Namco made and published it. It reached North America in 1994 and Europe in December 1995, where it was titled Pac-Panic. You clear blocks by lining them up in rows and clear ghosts by dropping a Pac-Man piece onto them. It is an adaptation of Namco's 1992 arcade game Cosmo Gang the Puzzle.
GamePro felt the multiplayer was the main selling point of the Genesis version.
What the press said at the time
“Pac Panic is addictive and playable enough to appeal to the majority of Mega Drive owners, and if you like puzzle games then you’ll love this.”

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle, and the risk of a fake is low. The European cart, titled Pac-Panic, usually costs less loose but more when complete.
