Another handheld console, though not quite as old as the last one…
This is a very special find, because what would later become world-famous under the name Pac-Man is still called Puckman here.
The game was produced by the Japanese company Tomy, which was known for its electronic games in the 1980s and 1990s. It was originally released in Japan in 1981 (one year after the arcade version) and is believed to have been released in Germany in 1983.
You’re probably familiar with the rules of the game: You guide Puckman through a maze to eat the points while being chased by four ghosts. You can either dodge them or—if you have the right power-up—even eat them yourself (temporarily). The game ends when you’ve used up all your lives.
The game itself was also sold under the name “Munchman”.
The game can also be found in various collections:
