Grandslam's Spectrum version, written by Steve Marsden, reached the reviewers in April and May 1989, more than a year after the earliest advertisements found (January 1988). Crash gave its price as £8.95 on cassette and £12.95 on disk; Sinclair User gave £8.95 and Your Sinclair £8.99.p. 42 (image n42), headerp. 42 (image n42)Magazine
Marcus, reviewing the Spectrum version in Your Sinclair's May 1989 issue (Grand Slam, £8.99), found Pac-Land "a sort of Super Mario Bros with a few teeth missing" that soon turns into formula action. He called it a good conversion of a bad game and a dull, very late sequel to Pac-Man. He noted that it keeps Pac-Man's basic formula of running about, picking up cherries and avoiding the ghosts, but that its play could not be more different.p. 42 (image n42), headerp. 42 (image n42)p. 42 (image n42)p. 42 (image n42)p. 42 (image n42), DiagnosisMagazine
