I HATE Pac-Mom, Pac-Boy, and Pac-Sis. And I hope they ALL get sold to "AtGames" in exchange for Ms., Jr., and Baby Pac-Mans!

At least it's this port. The Amiga and DOS versions were literally reskins of Fury of the Furries (A spinoff of Skweek) with nothing else but the playable character changed. (Which would've caused licensing issues with the IP holders of Skweek/Tinies)

Maze Madness was also there, wasn't it console-only?

@Yawackhary ALL of the Midway arcade ones were mentioned in the list. Even weird stuff like "Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man" that barely anybody knows about now. Pac & Pal was also in that list. I don't actually remember if Pac-Man Arrangement was there, it might have been the only arcade game absent from the list for some reason.

I don't think that Blitz Games being the UK would be why certain games were missing, since games like Pac-Attack, Pac-In-Time, and Pac-Man 2 were released over there, yet they were not in the list. I think it was just that Namco wanted a list specifically of Arcade games, with the Pac-Man World trilogy added in because... y'know, the list WAS in a Pac-Man World game

@MollyChan I know there are what are considered the "canon" Pac-Man games (Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Land, Pac-Mania) as those had the involvement of Toru Iwatani so those would have been included regardless. Were Ms. Pac-Man, Pac & Pal and Arrangement mentioned along with the Midway spinoffs (Professor, Baby, Plus)?

Surprised regarding Pac-Attack/Pac-Panic as that one was done by Namco but could be argued that it is a dolled-up version of Cosmo Gang the Puzzle (no different than Puyo Puyo or Panel de Pon) like Pac-in-Time is with Fury of the Furries so that would have got excluded.

One possible explanation was that it was the list of games that Namco gave Blitz Games and since they were in the UK, a lot of these console/PC spinoffs just weren't released for them to check (even compilations, just Pac-Man Collection on the GBA and those Pac-Man GBC ports, 50th Anniversary was released after World 3) outside of the two dolled-up games. Even Pac-Man Vs. was think bundled with the GC version of R: Racing in Europe (having a smaller print run than its PS2 and Xbox counterparts) and that had Miyamoto being involved.

@Doc von Schmeltwick SUPER late, but I just want to mention that IIRC the list of games in Pac-Man World 3 only actually includes games that were released in arcades, plus the previous two Pac-Man World entries. All other console games are excluded from the list for unknown reasons...

Oh, it's a dolled-up game? Guess that explains how little it has to do with Pac-Man gameplay-wise and why it was never brought up again (including iirc in World 3's rather comprehensive list of games up to that point...)

Indeed. Especially the Amiga and DOS ports where they just slapped Pac-Man over the Tinies, who were the same race as Skweek from his namesake Amstrad CPC game.
