'''''Pac-Man Plus''''' is an arcade game by [[NetherRealm Studios|Bally/Midway]]. It was the third [[arcade]] game in the [[Pac-Man|''Pac-Man'' series]], and the fifth overall.
The '''Neo Geo Pocket Color''' was a handheld [[video game console]] by [[SNK]]. It was the successor to the [[Neo Geo Pocket]] that, unlike its predecessor, had a full color graphic display.


The Neo Geo Pocket Color was released in Japan on March 16, 1999, in North America on August 6, 1999, and in Europe on October 1, 1999.

The Neo Geo Pocket sold well at first, having strong sales helped by the availability of fourteen games at launch, which was a record for the time. However, it was released a year after the release of the [[Game Boy Color]], and the [[WonderSwan]] was released in Japan a few days prior. Due to stiff competition from the other handheld video game consoles, sales of the Neo Geo Pocket Color went into a steep decline.

SNK was undergoing severe financial troubles at the time of the release of the Neo Geo Pocket Color and was acquired by [[Aruze]] in January 2000. Under Aruze's direction, SNK withdrew completely from the North American and European markets on June 13, 2000, which led to the end of SNK's worldwide operations and the de facto cancellation of the Neo Geo Pocket Color in those markets. The Neo Geo Pocket Color continued being supported in Japan until SNK went bankrupt on October 22, 2001.
