Mr. Do! vs Pac-Man

Mr. Do! is a 1982 Universal arcade title that blends maze‑digging and fruit‑collecting gameplay, reminiscent of Dig Dug. Players control the titular clown, digging tunnels, gathering cherries, and avoiding or crushing enemies with a rolling apple. The game was released as both a standalone cabinet and a conversion kit, selling 30,000 units in the US and even appearing on the 1983 Starcade TV show. It later appeared on numerous home consoles and modern platforms, preserving its retro charm for new players.

Pac-Man challenges players to guide the iconic yellow character through a maze, consuming all pac‑dots while avoiding four colorful ghosts. Power pellets grant temporary invincibility, letting Pac‑Man turn the tables and eat the pursuing enemies. Each cleared maze advances the player to a new stage with faster, more aggressive ghosts and intermission animations between levels. The game ends when all lives are lost, but a bonus life is awarded at 10,000 points, encouraging high‑score mastery.
