About this game
Pac-Mania is a variation on the game Pac-Man .
You need to guide Pac-Man around a maze and eat all of the dots on the board to proceed on to the next round.

Numerous, multi-colored ghosts also roam the maze trying to stop you.
If you eat one of the power pellets in the maze, the ghosts will temporarily turn blue and run from you.
Pac-Man can earn bonus points by eating the ghosts when they are in this state.
The maze is now shown in isometric perspective and is larger than the screen which will scroll to follow the action.
To help get out of tight spots, Pac-Man can now jump.
But be careful, because some of the ghosts have learned this trick as well and you could end up in a mid-air collision!
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Pac-Mania for Sega Genesis 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-Mania 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 GEN release dates back to 1987.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Pac-Mania 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.
