Pac Gal is a 1982 maze game inspired by the arcade phenomenon that had everyone running through corridors while being chased by colorful ghosts with questionable social skills. Players guide the cheerful heroine through increasingly difficult mazes, collecting dots while carefully avoiding enemies that seem remarkably committed to ruining her day. The controls are simple enough for anyone to understand, but mastering the timing quickly becomes another story. Like many games from the era, it proves that a brilliant concept does not require complicated graphics or cinematic storytelling. Pac Gal is charming, addictive, and surprisingly tense despite starring little more than dots, corridors, and determined ghosts. It is also a gentle reminder that eating everything in sight is usually discouraged in real life, unless the things chasing you happen to be supernatural.
