Club Lambada, also known as Club Pac-Man, is a hack of Ms. Pac-Man released by Miky between 1989 and 1991, exclusively in Argentina. The game is named after the song "La Lambada", which was popular in South America at the time.
Overview[]
The game is an advanced hack that adds several new features to the original game. This includes multiple new mazes, the ability to select the speed of the game, and music that plays for when you eat a power pellet. Most of the music is either completely new, or from Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man. The new music renditions include "Lambada", The Pink Panther theme, "Ode to Joy", and more. Ms. Pac-Man and the ghosts are renamed to Mami, David, Flavia, Miguelito, and Romina.
Club Lambada also features new mechanics, such as one where if you eat a fruit/bonus item, the ghost cage gate opens. If you enter it, and hit the left side, you can either get an extra life, point bonus, or "BONUS NONE". Another mechanic exists, where if you touch David (Blinky), you will be sent to place where he stands on the cage. This can be simultaneously be used as a shortcut and something that can make you lose a life if a ghost is up there. In later stages, David has the same speed as you, which can also happen to Romina and the bonus items.
Trivia[]
- Sometimes, ghosts/items clip out of the maze or get stuck in an infinite loop de to how fast their speed can get.
- The name Miky, as seen in the game, comes from the game developers' name, Miguel Ojeda. Miguel mainly worked for S.A Amusements, which owned many casinos and arcades in Argentina. They also made their own hacks along with Casino machines. Miguel would also make TC 2000, Clement Trick, and other hacks.
