About this game
Pac-Man gets thrown back in time to his younger days after the nefarious Ghost Witch casted a spell on him for spoiling her plans.
Now he has to find his way back to the present time.

Pac-Man has to go through several areas broken into ten sections each.
To exit a section all of the pellets need to be collected in order for the exit to the section to appear.
Pac-Man can jump and use tools.
Tools include things such as hammers, fireballs, a bubble for underwater survival, and a climbing vine.
This version of Pac-in-Time should not be confused with other versions of Pac-in-Time as the game engine, level layouts, and aesthetic are different.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Pac-in-Time for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pac-in-Time to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1994.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Pac-in-Time has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
