How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About PAC-MAN 256
Pac-Man in a maze that never ends: you head upwards eating pellets while the ghosts cut you off and the level 256 glitch chases you from below. You carry three power-ups, such as the laser or the tornado, and upgrade them with coins.
