I've been talking with Eduardo about his ColecoVision version of Pac-Man, and I suggested that he include one of the following bonuses:
EXCITING NEW PAC-MAN PLUS
This is a Pac-Man upgrade which increased the game's difficulty and added new gameplay elements triggered by the energizers. Sometimes, they'd make the maze disappear, and other times only three monsters would be affected by the energizer, leaving the fourth one free to continue chasing you. Also, the fruits in the center of the screen are redrawn and act as safer, but more limited energizers.
EAT 'N RUN PAC MAN
This was an option exclusive to the Coleco Pac-Man tabletop game. It was quite different from the other Pac-Man conversions in that there were no dots; just energizers sapped of their monster frightening power. Pac-Man had to run from the box in the center of the screen to eat the energizers, then quickly run back to his home base to protect himself from the monsters. The more energizers you could gulp in a single run, the more bonus points you'd get.
So, if Eduardo is pressed for space (and it's highly likely that he will be) and could only include one of the two bonus games, which one would you prefer?
