Games Free Pacman or Pac's Venture Free Pacman or Pac's Venture

October 1, 2006 | Author: Alex Lander.
The name of the game to review today is Pac's Venture. It’s one of the representatives of classic genre of Pacman. This game is brand advertising by MicroSMARTS LLC company. You will realize why it's free and distributed publicly by this company if you read carefully terms and conditions during game installation, though at company’s web-site (http://www.microsmartsllc.com/) the game is not advertised. After installation process started the game will offer to replace your browser’s homepage and even if you refuse it, the game will try to replace your browser’s default search system. This trojan manners seem to be harmful, but it’s only on the surface: all actions are legal and are mentioned in term and conditions, so a user is considered to be warned. The game was developed in Peru by CHECHESOFT in 2000, but became adopted just now.
