Pac-Man Magnetic Maze

Pac-Man Magnetic Maze is a board game released by Tomy in 1982. It is a tabletop labyrinth game that is based on the original Pac-Man arcade game. A variant of the game titled Family Puckman was released in select European territories.
== Gameplay ==
The player controls a labyrinth using a faux-joystick, which in turn moves playing pieces of Pac-Man and two Ghosts (Blinky and Inky). The player must guide Pac-Man to collect the three Fruits hanging off of metal bars, and return them to his home base, one at a time. The game features a wind-up, one-minute timer; to win the game, all three fruits must be collected within the time limit. If Pac-Man's side magnets get stuck to a ghost, the game is over.
== Trivia ==
*The Pac-Man playing piece vaguely resembles a Pac-Man Bank; featuring a small "body" and a similar lip to the "UFO" bank models. However, this may moreso be a result of technical limitation, rather than in direct connection to the banks.
*The original Magnetic Maze version uses artwork of the Bally Midway "red-eyed" arcade designs for Pac-Man and the Ghosts on the playfield, though their eyes are recolored solid white. The Family Puckman version changes this artwork to generic assets.
*As is the case on all of Tomy's U.S. Pac-Man products, the game's title is formatted as "Pac Man" (without a hyphen). The U.K. release by Hales hyphenates the game title.
