| - Pac-Man Plus has the same basic goal of all of the early Pac-Man games: eat all of the Pac-Dots and Power Pellets before Pac-Man is caught by the ghosts. Just like the other early Pac-Man games, Power Pellets can be eaten so that the ghosts will become vulnerable and turn blue for a short length of time.

The most significant changes in the gameplay, however, is that eating a bonus fruit causes the ghosts to become vulnerable and invisible, doubling the score for eating them; and that eating Power Pellets would often have unpredictable effects (such as turning only three ghosts blue or turning the maze invisible). Because there were so few differences between Pac-Man and Pac-Man Plus and because the game was released right before the video game crash of 1983, Pac-Man Plus was never ported to home video game systems or computers. However, there have been efforts by some homebrew game developers to port Pac-Man Plus to classic game consoles such as the Atari 2600, and more recently the Atari 5200 and the Atari 7800. In addition, Jakks Pacific released a new Pac-Man TV Games collection that featured Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, and Pac & Pal. It is featured on the Plug n' Play games Pac-Man Gold Edition, Retro Arcade Featuring Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man Collection.
