    🔥 Is this video too long? Watch 55 versions of Pac-Man in 10 minutes: • 55 Pac-Man Versions in...
    This video covers official versions of Pac-Man only, so please don’t ask for clones or homebrew versions. Despite our best efforts we weren't able to add all licensed ports we know, such as PC-8001mkII, Windows Phone and Windows (2004) games. If we manage to get all of them in the future we could make an extended version of this video.
    Namco published many J2ME versions in order to support the wide variety of mobile screen sizes of the time. We have included three of them with noticeably different screen resolutions under the J2ME label.
    Pac-Man Collection (GBA), Namco Museum 50th Anniversary (GBA) and the Game Gear, Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions features two game modes, one that shows the whole game scenery and another with scroll. This video features both modes.
    Regarding the Android port, since its first release in 2009, Namco developed several different versions of the game featuring brand new modes and features. This video presents the original version from 2009, which is the most similar to the Arcade, and the one released in 2018.
    Codes to unlock Pac-Man in Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures:
    Sega Genesis: PCMNORG
    Super Nintendo: PCMNDPW
    Which one did you play? Which one do you think is the best port or conversion?

    12:45 ColecoVision is my favorite because the ghosts look really cute when going up or down. They also have regeneration animations after they get eaten, which I think is really cool.

This washing place my dad used to take me too had a bunch of arcade machines and I used save up quarters to be able to play whenever we went. Sadly, they eventually took most of the arcade games out later on. I think frogger was the only one left lol

      It was so good commodore got sued and they had to rename it Jelly Monsters. But then Commodore created their own clone called C=osmic cruncher. And about 2 years later Atarisoft released the official version on the Vic. There's another good one called Quickman and Quickman 2k8.

    Man oh man, sitting here watching an hour and fourteen minutes of nothing but the first level of Pac-Man with the only difference being the resolutions and styles of the different ports, those of us who were able to endure the whole thing should be given medals. Lol! Lots of respect though, I didn't realize how many ports of this one game were out there now. I know it's an arcade classic but geeze come on! How many times can you port the same game to how many consoles at once? I also have to ask, how long did it take you to make this video? All of that Pac-Man game play alone must have taken weeks (hence the respect). ✋

    • @mjdxp5688

      Back in the 80's and 90's it was pretty common for a lot of arcade games to receive ports to pretty much every console and computer out there, often having a lot of sacrifices because the arcade machines were a lot more powerful than home computers and game consoles.

      Thanks! I believe that it took me about three weeks to complete the video. First, trying to get all the ports and run them properly (some japanese systems are tricky to configure and I spent many hours trying to get some games), then playing all versions (I had to do it many times to get a decent gameplay) and finally editing the video (that part wasn't difficult but took me a lot of time because the volume of ports).

    It's a shame the ColecoVision version never got released - it's one of the better-looking early 80's ports. The ghosts look downright menacing when moving up or down and I love that "reverse dissolve" effect when they reappear in their box in the centre.

    My opinion on these versions:
    Coleco Tabletop: Well, that must be the most embarrassing thing Coleco ever made. Annoying sounds, ghosts aren't ghosts, the pac-man is small... 1/5
    VIC-20(HAL): It's okay, but the sounds when a ghost returns back to their house are annoying. 4.5/5
    Tomy Tabletop: MUCH better than Coleco, but still isn't perfect. 2.5/5
    Atari 2600: It's ok, but it would be more playable without flickering.(Yes, i know about hardware limitations.) 3/5
    Atari 5200: It would be the best port for pacman, if it wasn't on Atari 5200, and if it didn't had the sound that turned on every time you've eaten a power pellet. 4/5
    Atari 8-bit family: Atari 5200 port, but it's playable. Still, that sound exists so it isn't 5/5. 4.5/5
    Apple II: Ghosts look awful, and so does the text. 3.5/5
    VIC-20(Atarisoft): It looks more bad, but the sound is less louder. 4.5/5
    Commodore 64: Atari 5200 port, but every time you eat a power pellet/normal pellet, two dudes start banging on a old motel bed. 4/5
    ColecoVision: It looks great, it sounds great and i'm sure it plays great! 5/5
    Intellivision: Atari 2600 port, but the graphics are better and there's no flickering. Sound is still pretty annoying tho. 4/5
    TI-99/4A: ColecoVision port, but far slower. 4/5
    PC-DOS: Graphics would be great if it have released in 1985. And the sounds are *vomits* on this vomit i like to call "PC Speaker". 3/5
    NEC PC-88: Sound is bad. That's all i can say about this one. 4.5/5
    Sharp X1: Sound is horrible. 3/5
    Sharp MZ-700: Bruh. 2.5/5
    Sharp MZ-700(PCG): Graphics are a lot better, so it's 25% fixed. 3/5
    Sharp MZ-1500: It looks more like an arcade version, but the start music is a LOT faster than any game play on these machines. 3.5/5
    FM-7: Atari 2600 version, but it looks like an arcade. Oh, and sound is pretty bad. 3.5/5
    MSX: Animation is smooth and sound isn't loud. And graphics do look pretty good. 5/5
    NES: Remember what i said about MSX? Well, to see NES experience, just remove the "n't" from "isn't" and change the "good" to "bad". 4/5
    ZX Spectrum: Sound isn't loud, but ghosts look like skulls/squids and i wouldn't even see cherry. 3/5
    NEC PC-6001mkII: Ghosts are pretty wide and the sound is crappy. 3.5/5
    If i will have more time, i will add more opinions about the ports, but for now, bye!

    It would've been nice to see the Bally Astrocade port. It was eventually released as "Munchie" and "Muncher" after they failed to acquire the rights to sell it under the name "Pac-Man". Since Bally was the U.S. distributor for the arcade version they figured they had the right to use it for home console use but Atari had gained those rights already... they took Atari to court and Atari won. There were 21 prototype carts made which actually have the name "Pac-Man" when you play them, one of which I have.
