My family used to have this Wii game called The Munchables that seemed to pretty directly follow from maze games, but I feel like "get bigger" games like Katamari are on the same evolutionary line, too, just in terms of memorizing a layout and getting stuff. I don't know how much there is to that, though.
@mlela583 Interesting, I'll look that up sometime. Katamari is one that's on my long, LONG 'game to try' list, it'll be intersting to see if I notice a connection to Pac-man too
Thank you very much! Yes, just trying to keep my goals in mind and not let the troubles of life and politics get me down too much
