Mean Arenas

I have been scratching my head trying to think where the "Marvelous" soundbite when you complete a level comes from. It comes directly from the TV show Red Dwarf. The episode Quarantine which came out a year before this game did. Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie) says it.

Excellent game. The further you are the game becomes more and more difficult but not insanely difficult thus it can be completed. Level codes are much help.

Mean Arenas is a fictional game show which pits contestants against each other in futuristic mazes. Basically, it's multiplayer Pac-Man with weapons, powerups, doors and teleporters. Between levels, two presenters of the program liven things up a bit with silly antics.

Not far off a cross between Gauntlet and Pacman, presented in the style of a futuristic game show (although you can't kill Noel Edmonds). It's simple, and technically basic but it has bags of character and - most importantly - gameplay.

Great Pac-Manish game, with hilarious commentator chatter accompanying the game play. You'll either get instantly hooked or hate it.

The title music is ace as well!

I absolutly loved this game. I was cracking up with fits of laughter because of the commentators. The difficulty was set pretty high with this one & it can get frustating but once you're used to it, it's a little gem!

Hehe loved this game when it was out, it was addictive & fun. The characters used in the commentating booth were americans used in other TV series I think, they're also used in celebrity wrestling (the clay animated series on mtv)

Some Kind of ironical political statement.A Game for underrated players who loved pacman, Gauntlet and into the eagles nest.I think its good, but passcodes are much tooo long;like banknumbers ....

This looked crap but was actually a little gameplaying gem. I hated those two shifty characters on the title screen though, especially the small ones voice. Eurghgh! A sad attempt to be amusing.
