    My dentist I used to go to when I was a little kid had a cabinet just like that in the waiting room set on free play, now that's a bad ass dentist.

      My dentist had an xbox and I played Pac-man World 2 on it! It was one of the first video games I ever played and I loved it so much I got an xbox myself when I was older and you better believe Pac-man World 2 was one of the fist games I got! It's crazy that both our dentists had Pac-Man games!!! :-D

    As of 2022, PAC-MAN is 42 years old and it's still famous and fun to play today! It never gets old.

    You're so right about the arcade feel. It's a totally epic experience. Every time I go to the Pizza Inn, I get to play Pac-Man on one. They have an arcade space in back. Pizza + Pac-Man is great, but I always run out of quarters.

    Pac-Man really changed the world, and it's still one of my favorite games to play. I purposefully avoid using "the pattern" and try to play on instinct. It's so much fun; and you feel like Bruce Lee when you dodge all 4 ghosts, then turn around and take'em all out. Even though it's the same maze, the speed varies and increases as you progress through the stages. So it stays interesting and challenging. Congratulations on getting that machine!

  • @danielmadeson311

    I migrated to Pac-Man CE 2 years ago, but I still love a little bit of the original from time to time.
    It's a shame they never made CE for the arcades, because I think it would have made a rather great game to have in a proper cabinet. ...with changing levels. ...and more cherries.

  • @electricadventures
    @electricadventures 10 років тому +2

    Well done on getting your own machine, looks to be in very nice condition. Unfortunately not many official machines come up over here, most of them are rebranded generic cabinets.

  • @CrowT23
    @CrowT23 10 років тому

    I don't think I've played Pac-Man on an arcade machine, maybe once but I would always see a Ms. Pacman/Galaga machine in bowling alleys, Jillans (now dave & buster), supermarkets, etc. If I ever would buy an arcade machine it's definitely be pac man related

    As much as I've wanted to own a Pac-Man machine for myself for as long as I can remember, I'm confident I'll never need to, as there seems to be a Pac-Man machine practically everywhere I go. It's great.
    Also, I've always preferred Ms. Pac-Man myself (though maybe just because I've played it more), but the original is definitely still a classic.

    • @TackyRackyComixNEO
      @TackyRackyComixNEO 10 років тому

    The original Pac-Man is okay, but here are my top 8 favorite Pac-Man games of all time:
    1. Ms. Pac-Man (Tengen Version for Sega Genesis/Super NES).
    2. Pac-Mania.
    3. Pac-Attack.
    4. Pac-Man World 1 (The sequels really suck and I hate the GBA version).
    5. Super Pac-Man (Looks fun, but I never played it).
    6. Pac-Man Arrangement.
    7. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX/Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+.
    And 8. Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness (I hate the GBA version).

    Yeah, Pac-Man is a great game until you play against some little shit at the arcade that knows the damn pattern. Then you gotta wait like 20 fucking minutes between turns. Then your only lasts for a minute, or two, because you totally suck at Pac-Man. You know what? Fuck this game!

      ***** nothing beats the real thing, but there are advantages to using an arcade emulator.
      1. FREE. you dont have to throw money at it to play.
      2. NO WAITING TURNS or SCREAMING KIDS. just you and the game... and maybe a couple of friends if you have the controllers. XD
      really im surprised this is looked down upon as much as it is. with arcades a dying art form, its nice to turn your simple laptop into an arcade of its own.

  • @FratFerno
    @FratFerno 10 років тому +1

    Is there any reason behind Pac-Man popping up on Nintendo's menagerie (which probably inspired this review to some extent)? All of a sudden a GBA Pac-Man collection (different versions and a falling-blocks puzzle) game shows up while he leaps into the Super Smash Bros. fray, and I'm just wondering if there's some cause for celebration besides Nintendo spending money on yet another awesome and surprising thing because they got the Wii U out of the just-released rut.
