DEVIL WORLD

Count Pacula

In this hack of Devil World, you play as Count Pacula, who is a blight on the good Pac family name. In order to rid the countryside of this embarrassing pest once and for all and clear the good Pac name, Pac-Man decided to truce with Blinky, who agreed to help take Pacula down. Since the rest of Blinky’s gang declined the truce, he brought along old friends Harry and Rocky. Pac-Man and the newly assembled ghost gang (and their clones, apparently) met at the ancient Pac mansion. At nightfall, Count Pacula leaves his coffin to enter the mansion. When in the mansion, he eats all the red dots that appear on each floor and returns to his coffin before daybreak. He has done this every night for centuries. But not tonight. Tonight is different. Tonight when he enters the mansion, he is startled by Pac-Man and his new gang. He runs frantically through the mansion, trying not to get crushed by the walls and fleeing the ghost gang. When he picks up a moon, he is able to eat the red pac-dots and fire bats at the ghosts, which shrinks them and allows you to eat them.

This hack is loosely based off of a cancelled pitch by Midway for a video pinball hybrid game similar to Baby Pac-Man. Of course, this hack couldn’t play EXACTLY like the original for very obvious reasons.

Nintendo Research & Development No. 1 was Nintendo's oldest video game development team. Its creation coincided with Nintendo's entry into the video game industry, and the original R&D1 was headed by Gunpei Yokoi. The developer has created several notable Nintendo series such as Metroid, Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong.

Nintendo R&D1

Nintendo is a multinational corporation located in Kyoto, Japan. Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it first produced handmade hanafuda cards and also tried several small niche businesses such as a cab company and a love hotel. Nintendo developed into a video game company, becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third most valuable listed company. The name Nintendo translated from Japanese to English means "Leave luck to Heaven".

Full Release

Devil World is a maze video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in Japan on October 5, 1984 and in Europe on July 15, 1987. The game was also released on the Wii's Virtual Console in Japan on January 22, 2008 and in Europe and Australia on October 31, 2008. The game has similar gameplay to that of Pac-Man. It is the only game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto that has not been released in North America, despite the fact that the game is simple and in English. This was due to Nintendo of America's strict policies on the use of religious icons in games, which were at their strictest level at the time of the game's original release, but there would eventually be a North American release for the first time in October 2023 as part of the Nintendo Switch Online lineup.
