Pac-Land was one of my first Turbo Games.  Back in the day I actually purchased a Turbo Express with a stack of games on the cheap, It included Pac-Land, Vigilante, Chase H.Q., The Original Bonk, and some sports games I never played.

I remember trying Pac-Land for the first time and was confused the D pad jumped, took me a min to figure out that the controls were basically reversed.  I loved the colors and how sharp everything was.  Been looking for a copy ever since.

Fortunately for you, Pac-Land has a choice of "button" or "lever" controls. :)

I just want to say that PAC LAND can actually provide some decent fun once you accept it for what it is. I was initially disappointed with it BITD (my friend bought it because it was cheap)...but it totally grew on me (we lent each other games, so I had to make the most of it).

Give it a chance

I really like Pac Land.  Don't enter me as I already have it, but I'd say Dragon Spirit is probably my favorite Namco game, if only for the music.  Final Lap Twin might be a tie as its RPG mode is a hoot to play through every now and then.  But Pac Land is definitely up there.  I've yet to beat it, but I'd like to think I've gotten pretty far. :)

+1 Turbokarma to you, lukester, and good luck to the winner!

Easy one:  Splatterhouse.  It's my favorite TG-16 game.  I know its not the best TG/PCE game, but it has a lot of nostalgia for me (it was my first TG game when I got my first TG in 1990). 

I remember seeing Pac Land in the arcade when I was a kid.  I was blown away by how fun (and good looking) a Pacman game could be.  I also remember watching the 80s Pacman cartoon around the same time. 

Sign me up.  I think the TG version of Pac Land is probably the best port of the game ever made.  I would love to have it.

cool raffle. have had a quite a few copies over the years now.  Glad to see one getting raffled off.  one of those games that isn't great but is still a good game to just plug in every now and then and enjoy the bright colors of the Turbo!  Hope whoever gets it, gves it some time and enjoys it.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

If you don't have this in your library, you ought to give it a go. It's a *big* departure from the original Pac Man, but it's all sorts of fun.

Give it a try, guys.  I don't think it's great, but it's worth a go and the price is right.
