Hack Game Boy

Pac-Man Escape

A graphics hack by thirtythree that turns the Game Boy version of Data East's maze game Lock 'n' Chase into a Pac-Man game.

What it changes

Lock 'n' Chase already plays a lot like Pac-Man: a maze full of coins, pursuers on your tail and bonus items to grab. Pac-Man Escape by thirtythree leans into that and reskins the Game Boy version so the thief becomes Pac-Man. The maze layouts and the rules of the original, including the doors you can close behind you, are kept.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of Lock 'n' Chase for Game Boy, following the instructions on the hack's romhacking.net page. Version 1.0 came out on 31 August 2023, with a small update the next day. Credit goes to thirtythree.
