Pac-Man Championship Edition Demake (version found in the Switch port of “Namco Museum Archives Volume One” played for review)

Hidden within a rerelease of arcade classics whose files sizes render them easy enough to download and run through in an emulator in the time it takes to read this sentence is an 8-bit demake of one of the best modern takes on a beloved classic. It plays like “Championship Edition” and looks like something everyone grew up with—why would you soft sell this? Why not put this on the front of the box? Heck, why bother giving this collection such an unwieldy title instead of “Pac-Man Championship Edition Demake with ten other games”? A mystery for the ages.
