Pac-Man (Coleco Tabletop)

The Pac-Man Coleco Tabletop is a tabletop arcade machine released by Coleco in 1981. It is based on handheld LCD game technology, and was intended for home use. It was released in Japan as Super Puck Monster. It was followed by a Ms. Pac-Man Coleco tabletop.
== Gameplay ==
The system features three modes - Pac-Man, Head-to-Head Pac-Man, and Eat & Run.
=== Pac-Man ===
A port of the original Pac-Man. A rather close port for the time period, especially for LCD technology. Some key features are missing however, most notably Fruit.
=== Head-to-Head Pac-Man ===
A two player co-op mode, with two Pac-Men on screen at once. Otherwise the same as the first mode.
=== Eat & Run ===
Guide Pac-Man to collect the four Power Pellets and bring them to the Ghost Box.

* Pac-Man (Coleco, Rev. 29) (1981)
== Trivia ==
* The Eat & Run mode was later remade and featured in the Arcade Classics: Pac-Man handheld by Basic Fun, which released in 2016.
* The Japanese release, Super Puck Monster, is sold as the "sequel" to Puck Monster, another handheld released by Gakken.
* Despite Super Puck Monster's "generic" branding, this variant of the game was officially licensed; as shown by it stating "© 1980 Namco Ltd." (in Japanese) on the front of the box. The game's name may have been changed due to complications with Tomy; which, due to different agreements in the region, did not apply in North America.
