- Pac-Man is a character with many different designs over the years. However, not every design of Pac-Man will be a winner. Here are the versions of Pac-Man that, in my opinion, have the worst designs.

The worst aspect about midway Pac-Man is that it essentially is the reason why so many people outside the Pac-Man community falsely believe “Pac-Man should never have limbs because he never had them in the original game.”
Yeah, I hate that argument so much!
That's true!
Umm..., they do realize... HE HAD LEGS!...
for me, I always thought Midway's Pac-Man was kinda cute ^w^
Yes, I hate Midway PAC-MAN so much
The wedge design from Wreck-It-Ralph is slightly more era-accurate when depicting Pac-Man in his arcade sprite form. Specifically, it’s based off the Atari 2600 box wedge design, which was also used for a lot of that era’s merchandise for wedge PAC-Man. The pie-eye design wasn’t used together with the wedge until the 2000s in the U.S..
(That being said, since Sonic had his post-Sonic Adventure look, I have no idea why PAC-Man was the one they made that decision with.)
I have a feeling its because they wanted to use the most recognisable designs at the time to appeal to an older audience for pacman, making him instantly recognizable, and using modern sonic and eggman since generations was barely out during WIR's release
12:10 puck man is now a robot 💀
I honestly don't mind the Midway design because it has a bit of charm and when I was a kid I didn't think that the JP arcade had a different design. This is just my opinion. I'm not saying that it's good. I'm just saying that it's just ok in some parts.
THAT Q*BERT MUTATION IS THE WORST.....AND THAT PART 13:40 BELONG IN ANALOG HORROR!!!
Petition to call Pat McMahon’s pac man Pac-McMahon
Unpopular opinion: I am a fan of the ghostly adventures design
I loved party pac man
That game was my childhood
What makes the Midway Pac more confusing is that it was released alongside the Japanese “Puck-Man” in flyers when Pac Man first arrived in America, the flyers had the ball Pac-Man and the cutesy ghosts sprinkled around them, you get an actual Inky on the bottom of one of the flyers, with an image of the actual arcade with the horrid Midway ghost design
10:51 legit shouted out loud "WHAT?!" because THAT'S A THING??? WHAT THE HELL?!
Excellent watch, so nice to see some light shed on Namco's artists.
pac-man never had dot eyes on the sides of his head i swear this is something of a mandela effect (i partially blame ms. pac-man's sprite to be honest)
I think you were too harsh with the Wreck it Ralph design (and to a lesser extent, the Midway one), but fine video!
Idk what where they thinking when making the Atari 8-Bit Box art for Pac-Man its just awful, but hey cool video!
I never minded the use of clar eyes on a few of Pac-Man's designs. For as iconic as his black pie eyes are, it's clear to me the reason for the change to give him actual eyes like the ghosts, for example, is so he would be able to express more. That's why I actually really like his Party and Ghostly Adventures designs. You wouldn't be able to get much emotion from Pac if his eyes were just the simple pie eyes. Okay, well, you probably can given characters like Mickey, who also utilized these kinds of eyes before, but I guess with Pac-Man, it's another thing as his eyebrows have the same problem as in most interpretations they can't move and are stuck in the same triangular shape. Pac-Man Party definitely made a good decision by giving Pac's eyebrows the functionality to move but also keeping their regular station on his head. Honestly, while I am happy that they're using the original Pac-Man design again, I do think they could take some inspiration from those other interpretations by at least having him emote more instead of just relying on his mouth. Heck, even the original of the first Pac-Man World game managed to have Pac's eyebrows emote, unlike how he is in Re-Pac.
Always thought PAC-Man’s Midway design made him look more like one of the ghosts as a kid lol
Midway pac is the worst design of pac man ever
The GA games go so hard, I highly recommend you play the second one especially if you can (they might have pacster, but they're basically like a World 4 and 5 in spirit)
I honestly like all of the designs. They are all so amazing and I love every single one of them.
What's weird about Bandai Namco using the Midway design so much is that I honestly don't think most Americans that grew up with the original cabinet even noticed or cared about the weird cabinet art, or noticed/cared when rereleases didn't feature that art. It really feels like Bandai Namco don't understand the audience that makes up the Pac-Man fandom.
19:06 Oh hey, it's that thing I made.
You gonna do this for Ms. Pac as well? There is a particularly notable prototype design that is a gold mine for a video like this.
Probably not. But I would like to make more videos on Ms. Pac-Man, including an update to an old unlisted video I made that talked about the game's royalty rights issue.
That SNES prototype design is something else man.
I don't get why people hate midway Pac-Man so much :
Same
He's so cute ❤️😭🥺
I think the Midway Pac-Man design looks kind of cute, but it's definitely not a fitting design for Pac-Man. I'd be fine with it on a different character, though.
cmon....cant y'all show some respect for Midway pac-man ?
I love Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man in my opinion he has cool design modeled after the party design and he has a good voice actor.
Great video
It should be illegal to give Pac-Man realistic eyes
Pat McMahon must've been *high on crack* when he first drew Pac-Man. (a reference to an old UA-cam video)
I am willing to believe that the Midway Pac-Man design must've been a heavy case of miscommunication & I would assume we will never know who did it presumably because the artist is too embarrassed & ashamed about it.
I like how you gave fair reviews of each of the designs and even highlighted the positive points. Also, even though I agree the first design misses the point, I still like it to some extent. He could work as his own character rather than Pac-Man himself.
Now, to me, the artwork at 11:50 oddly enough looks like AI generated artwork. Also, I'd like to think Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are celebrating Octoberfest in the artwork at 9:59.
3:32 this design wasn't the first time it was use it was use in the atari pacman box art,game sprite of the atari game and also in a jcpenny commercial: ua-cam.com/video/iJAia7dRiAI/v-deo.htmlsi=H8E7M_BI4Ubo9H4S
I personally disagree. This is Probably a very unpopular opinion but Midway Pac-Man is my favorite design.
Wacky pacman from pacman 2 is hilarious
i know you're just covering official designs but whats the deal with many modern pac-man garbage animations featuring sharp/spiky teeth? imo those are the worst of the worst pac-man designs even more unappealing than ghostly adventures. haven't played any recent pac-man games but i'm assuming the teeth idea was taken from one of the boss's
12:09 I'm not going to sleep tonight
I like PAC Man
Your pfp kind of reminds me of Oswald the lucky rabbit
I love midway pacman I love him he’s the best design
More leapfrog
I have two questions. How old are you, what is your birth date, and what city do you live in? You sound like a Gen Z
