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

    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
      @mjdxp5688 4 роки тому +5

      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.
    EDIT: The sound of Pac-Man eating pellets in the Apple ][ version sounds like vegetables being chopped up.

    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.
