What if every tunnel in Pac-Man led to a different version?

This video follows Pac-Man as he travels through dozens of versions across different platforms and decades. Every time he exits a tunnel, the world changes.

Same maze. Different reality.

Not every version is here. Only the ones different enough to make the journey worth taking.

No commentary. No rankings. Just Pac-Man, moving forward.
