This is a tips and strategy guide to the arcade video game Pac-Man. It has many illustrations of the game screen, (not screenshots). It is designed to help players get better scores or simple play longer, by mapping out the mazes and showing the reader the paths and patterns to best maximize their playing. The book also looks at the portable versions of the game, and two very similar games, "New Puc-One", and "Mazeman". A {Revised Edition}, of the book was later released in 1982 which featured new material on the Ms. Pac-Man, and Atari 2600/Atari Video Entertainment System. This book was first avalible at the price of $1.95, and later in the Rvised Version at $2.50. It was also combined with two of his other Video Game books in a box set collection. Ken Uston Shows You Hot to Beat the Latest Video Games In: "Ken Uston's Guide to Buying and Beating Home Video Games", "Mastering Pac-Man", and "Score! Beating the Top 16 Video Games", ISBN: 0451912640. It was priced at $8.95.
