+Ironknuckle229or94 yeah, but after a short time it becomes useless when the ghost themselves can jump as well, and a lot of times they all jump right at the same time as you do.
+Ironknuckle229or94 did you know this version of pacmania is missing the music from world 4 and that some versions of pacmania not this one start on level 2 and skip every other level
I got this game when I was younger, and for some reason it's stayed in my GBA bag ever since. Probably because I loved Pac-Man Arrangement so much- it was like the only version of Pac-Man that I could get into, because it wasn't as demanding as the original in monitoring the ghosts, and let's you keep playing through levels even if you run out of lives (you're score just resets). And each world feels fresh and exciting as you play through the game. The final boss is really cool, too. That being said, the later levels make it a lot harder to stay alive, and probably warranted a lot of quarters back in the day if you wanted to finish the game. It's much more fast-paced than the original, and the art style/presentation is fantastic, and the music is fantastic. Uhhhh!!!
my cousin had this cart when we were growing up. used to always borrow it whenever we had our gbas. arrangement is one of the first games i felt genuinely compelled to play for as long as i possibly could.
Also I remember playing Pac Mania as a cabinet as a kid, good times. Was blown away when I saw it was listed in this collection for the gba, and it looked about as good.
I remember getting the GBA SP for christmas as a kid with this game. I spent so many endless hours on this game. Good times. Time to dust off the gba sp
Derek, if you want to check out a few other cool "Arrangement" titles, you should try & pick up Namco Museum for the GameCube. It includes Pac-Man Arrangement along with Arrangement variants for Galaga & Dig Dug as well. I think you'd enjoy them.
+joshua tonsing if you want an update ted version of the remixes +joshua tonsing mentioned then get namco museum virtual arcade on the xbox 360 horrible name btw
It's a bit annoying that Bandai Namco canceled the Wii U version of Pac-Man Museum and put this on Virtual Console instead, but back in 2001 this would've been a really great collection to have on GBA. On the GBA, the collection is a bunch of really solid ports.
I should have known that at 1:11 he would go up and just say that he hates Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. That was an interesting Point-&-Click game at the time. A Genre you apparently cared less about according to your Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations review.
This game is also one of the CHEAPEST in the gba library. UNDER $4 loose on ebay, SHIPPING already included. I wanted to cry at the end of this video. Seriously.
3:29 Behold: The Truth behind the negative critique of his Pac-Man World Review; Doki-Doki Mario Syndrome (If you watch his reviews of Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES and Super Mario Land for the Game Boy, you'll know what I'm talking about.)
Exactly. That's the one thing about CGRUndertow that I don't like; reviews where he talks trash about games that people actually grew up with. And it's not just Pac-Man World and Super Mario Bros. 2. Games like Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario Land, even Nicktoons Unite. All of these games were hated on for reasons that weren't even justified.
It's pretty messed up that Pac-Man has fallen off of a cliff. Pac-Man World 3 was truly my last real favorite Pac-Man game. After that, it seems like he tried to act hip for 5 year old children and completely missed the point.
+James McGraw Namco Museum Remix on Wii's pretty cool at least, one reason being it has what I think is the much better version of Pac 'n Roll (a DS game where Pac-Man's a ball, but the levels still seem platform-ish) But yeah. The less of the Ghostly Adventures cartoon and games, the better
What killed Pac man fame: Here is the list Pac man arrangement (new) was very stupid Pac man and his ghostly adventures made pac man sounds like an idiot Pac man copy power ups (like they could’nt add anything) Bad collections (they don’t put classic anymore)
This guy tries to wax nostalgic for MOST intros, and now 4:37 "there's no eloquent way to say this"? Use your English skills to their fullest, or tighten up your edgy "jokes".
I can tell you. That is because of Ms. Pac-Man (who she deserves so much better) already being on Namco Museum for Game Boy Advance. Pac-Man Collection is basically volume 2 of Namco Museum which adds the remaining games sans the arrangements of Dig Dug and Galaga and Pole Position 2.
Did you know you could jump in Pac-Mania? You didn't point that out.
+Ironknuckle229or94 yeah, but after a short time it becomes useless when the ghost themselves can jump as well, and a lot of times they all jump right at the same time as you do.
+Ironknuckle229or94 did you know this version of pacmania is missing the music from world 4 and that some versions of pacmania not this one start on level 2 and skip every other level
+Commodorefan64 the ghosts jump when you push the button and you can jump over the green ghosts if you time it right
Spunky is so stupid IMO
This is why Pac-Man is both my favourite games of the 1980s and in one of my favourite gaming franchises/companies.
Hey Derek, you can jump using the "A" button in Pac-Mania. Just letting you know since you didn't jump once.

I have this game but it somehow fell in the toilet, not gonna lie I cried a bit

When you are reviewing Pac Mania I kept on screaming "YOU CAN JUUUMMMMPPPP
I remember getting the GBA SP for christmas as a kid with this game. I spent so many endless hours on this game. Good times. Time to dust off the gba sp
6:16 Wow Pacman got a tramp stamp.

***** Those are actually completely separate titles, but still good in their own right.
+joshua tonsing Not only that, but he seriously needs to play Pac-Man World 1 and 2.
+joshua tonsing if you want an update ted version of the remixes +joshua tonsing mentioned then get namco museum virtual arcade on the xbox 360 horrible name btw
***** That Pac-Man Arrangement is the same one from the 360 Namco Museum
There are 2 pac man arrangements, the older one, and the newer one. The graphics are different i think probably
my childhood game! I played it since 2006 to 2008. Ahh Memories on GBA SP!
Pac-Man:Y'ALL MIND IF I T POSE?
What's interesting is that PAC-MAN has never had a 3d game since 2015 or 2013 I think.
A mall arcade I went to had Pac-Man Arrangement and I loved it a lot and was impressed when it came to the GBA.
I would avoid Pac-Man Collection, GBA Namco Museum and GBA Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary because they will not save your high scores.
It's a bit annoying that Bandai Namco canceled the Wii U version of Pac-Man Museum and put this on Virtual Console instead, but back in 2001 this would've been a really great collection to have on GBA. On the GBA, the collection is a bunch of really solid ports.
You were completely justified in complaining about Metallica's 'Load' album back then! I hope this series comes back someday
This game and Namco Museum for the Gameboy Advance are must buys.
Pac Mans making a comeback
Hey guys. Check out Mike & Bootsy on Cinemassacre, 'Pac-Man 256 '. Pac-Man has been rehabilitated & is a hero once more lol
Dang, the beginning with the whole letting down thing reall hit home...
You know a ga,e is gonna be good when the title screen is written in COMIC SANS!
this and gradius were 2 of my first gba games. I had the best time ever
holy shit the ending of this is classic! XD
I should have known that at 1:11 he would go up and just say that he hates Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. That was an interesting Point-&-Click game at the time. A Genre you apparently cared less about according to your Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations review.
3:52 => JUMP!
This was one of the Best Pac-Man games I've ever played! And on the GAME BOY no less!
I wanted you to review this but I didn't want to send it to you because it to was a pretty good game but now that you reviewed it, well thank you.
Pac Mania’s music sounds like a genesis game
PacMan Championship Edition is great too
I have this on the Wii U VC. I don't have a GBA but I play this a lot.
I love pac man arrangement. Its the reason why I bought the collection.
Damn I didnt know arrangement was on there. That looks really fun to play and like a real update to pacman.
the Pac Man collection for the ps3 has all of the Pac Man games. Including a remade version of Pac man Arrangement
You guys should try to get the Namco Battle Collection on PSP. Multiple classic Namco game + 4 Arrangement versions. It's immense.
This is still a really great collection.
Yeah but I wish they had more pac-man ports like jr pac-man,pac & pal,super pac-man,and pac-land
I have play Pac-Man Arrangement in Namco collection on the gamecube. It's fun as hell.
I had this game on the gba as a kid but lost it and I have this game on the xbox
This game is also one of the CHEAPEST in the gba library. UNDER $4 loose on ebay, SHIPPING already included.
I wanted to cry at the end of this video. Seriously.
Love the Comic Sans. Thought that was a Rare thing only to do in Games. :P
i have had like 10 namco collections. now you know why.
PS: press start is in comic sans. i fucking love this game.
I love this game, and it was one of the first games I got for my GBA. :D
I have Pac-Man arrangement for my Gameboy advance
Great collection, and Arrangement is amazingly good!
This game is the best $4 I have ever spent in my life
What is the song in the end of the video? Sounds cool!
You should try Pac Man Championship Edition DX. I can't say if it's a good Pac Man game but it's a fun game and I love it.
I NEED THIS
This is the only legit gba game I own.. I play all my other gba games on my PSP...
Man, I love this port despite it's lack of depth. It was quite a bit of fun.
And pretty much a bit stripped down, but it's excused because of the Game Boy Advance's weak hardware.
3:29 Behold: The Truth behind the negative critique of his Pac-Man World Review; Doki-Doki Mario Syndrome (If you watch his reviews of Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES and Super Mario Land for the Game Boy, you'll know what I'm talking about.)
+Donovan Boykins So a "They changed it, now it sucks" trope?
Exactly. That's the one thing about CGRUndertow that I don't like; reviews where he talks trash about games that people actually grew up with. And it's not just Pac-Man World and Super Mario Bros. 2. Games like Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario Land, even Nicktoons Unite. All of these games were hated on for reasons that weren't even justified.
Do you played pacman and galaga dimensions for 3DS or Pac and Roll for DS?
my parents use to use my GBA to play this
What a strange ending. Lol
one of yr best reviews.
You got to play a good game this time.
It's pretty messed up that Pac-Man has fallen off of a cliff. Pac-Man World 3 was truly my last real favorite Pac-Man game. After that, it seems like he tried to act hip for 5 year old children and completely missed the point.
Yeah PMW3 was actually pretty well made.
+James McGraw Namco Museum Remix on Wii's pretty cool at least, one reason being it has what I think is the much better version of Pac 'n Roll (a DS game where Pac-Man's a ball, but the levels still seem platform-ish)
But yeah. The less of the Ghostly Adventures cartoon and games, the better
Pac-Maaaaan!
Great freaking ending.
GBA is a beast
I have this game
woah woah woah woah woah.
woah.
Load was my favorite Metallica album.
I agree. Load was a good album. So was Reload.
this game is so great and its about 5 dollars on eBay so its dirt cheap.
I own this game. Love arrangement
Actually selling this brand new sealed. Reply if interested?
I had a copy of this............then lost it...
Hey, Load is a good album!
My opinion on worst pacman ghost clyde he catches me the most
What killed Pac man fame:
Here is the list
Pac man arrangement (new) was very stupid
Pac man and his ghostly adventures made pac man sounds like an idiot
Pac man copy power ups (like they could’nt add anything)
Bad collections (they don’t put classic anymore)
yeah, Load and re-load still suck.
in pacmaina you can jump
You're reviews remindme that the classics neves dies
Just lost my copy today. Hopefully ill find it soon
Derek, you should try Adventures in Time. REALLY good PAC-MAN game.
Pixels!!!!
somewhere in nevada
This guy tries to wax nostalgic for MOST intros, and now 4:37 "there's no eloquent way to say this"?
Use your English skills to their fullest, or tighten up your edgy "jokes".
Is there ever a reason for why Pac Man and Ms Pac Man are never in the same collection?
I can tell you. That is because of Ms. Pac-Man (who she deserves so much better) already being on Namco Museum for Game Boy Advance. Pac-Man Collection is basically volume 2 of Namco Museum which adds the remaining games sans the arrangements of Dig Dug and Galaga and Pole Position 2.
second
I have this game
Thats good BMO...
