SUMMARY
An updated 2000 Sega Dreamcast game and online multiplayer cross-platform Pac-Man game appeal most to me this week. What about you?
Hi Todd!
Pacman Mega Tunnel seems like a quantum leap in features compared to other “modern” pac-man games and looks good. 9/10
Rainbow Cotton, never played the DC game. Decent 3D and cross platform online Multiplayer has my interest 7/10
