Some of these were a real pain to find and/or get working. Let me know if you want to play any of them and I can make instructions for how to play them.
Any info about the Galaxy Games rom and if the rom would work on RetroArch by any chance? (The co-op part looked really interesting so I wanted to see if I could get Netplay working for it) Thanks in advance!
@@LBP-Seramop The name of it is galgame2 and it works on mame. That's all I really know. Yeah I wonder how fun it would be playing with someone else, I just controlled both myself for the video.
@@philive1681 Welp, just tried it for myself. It at least works (On MAME 2010 (on RetroArch, no other version of MAME can run the game it seems)) but for some non-apparent reason the audio on my rom is sped up compared to your gameplay (maybe an issue with the rom I got or MAME 2010 (in RA) just does that to some games) The biggest downside of using it with RetroArch is that the core that’s able to run the game can’t be used with Netplay, so there goes the online co-op I was hoping to do.. T_T Thanks again for help with locating the rom to the game!!
This is some real dedication for a comparison video! Most people usually just show gameplay, but you went out of your way to show us the game's sprites as well. Yes, it's a fairly basic thing, but most people don't even consider doing that.
Interesting how all the ports for Japanese platforms try to stay as close to the arcade as possible, while many Western ports are more along the lines of "interpretations"
@BIGGERSHOT127-v1w I do admit the PC-800 version is more of a scream, but it's too bitcrushed to me to sound any more terrifying. That and the PC-88 version is just a harsh screech...
There's actually another version not featured here; the version included in Pac-Man World 3. At first glance that version appears to be emulation, but no! It is a ground-up recreation of the arcade game. Some notable visual differences is the lack of gate in the ghost house, the orange being colored red, and the fruits having a new "popping-in" animation.
6:38 This singular version has been used in the following games... Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PS1) Pac-Man World (PS1) Namco Museum 64 (N64) Namco Museum (DC) Namco Museum (Xbox, GCN, PS2) Pac-Man World 2 (Xbox, GCN, PS2, PC)
The same company who made the TI-99/4, Texas Instruments, makes calculators today and you can download pac man on some of them and play it. It goes full circle :)
Precisely. Most of the early handheld ports either let you play with original graphics in a zoomed-in view, or with tiny graphics to see the whole maze.
This is the first time in my life I've ever seen any of the bonus fruit beyond the apple on the Apple ][ ! I had this as a kid---I think I still do, as a matter of fact!---but I've neve made it past the apple stages.

Man it's funny how the COLORS of the ghosts are sometimes very inconsistent. A green one usually replaces Inky or Clyde! I know this is probably because of how hard it is to emulate certain colors, but the ZX Spectrum... If the scared ghost is cyan and the maze shows blue with no issue, then what's the point of emulating the scared ghosts as cyan and Inky as green?

That's why they was worse copy cats and not doing it there own designs
The example of 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓻𝓿𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓲𝓼𝓶 is the Pac-Man ports for Japan computers
We meet again
Yeah that Tomy version looks arcade perfect.
Really? Several of the japanese versions are more notably different from the arcade.
5:24 Well, that was terrifying. PC-8801 Pac-Man is literally screaming for his life.

eeeeeeeeeee
could’ve been worse, could’ve been the PC8801 MKII SR one
2:20, 5:11, 5:23,9:13 too 2:56 ghosts screaming for their life

you also couldn't get any extra lives in the PMW3 version either last i checked
4:43 the ghosts have turned into forks.
Bruhhhhh
MZ700 really going "Fr Fr Fr Fr Fr Fr Fr"
fr
3:40 bro really said fr 💀
7.8/10 No "OHHH SHIIIIT"
This comment doesn tmake any sense
@@tylerrichter6760it does look on the left side of the screen
@@Beast0gohan still nothing.
@@theresnobodyleftbutyou the fruit bruh
I like how in the Colecovision version, the ghosts will regenerate in their little home after getting munched
Honestly that's kinda better than their bodies just appearing

0:57 Igniknokt and Err's death
What
Also the Lord Crump's theme
I like when in MZ700’s version, every is “fr”
Its interesting how some ports seem to retain the original maze but had to change it to be vertical so that it would fit the screen
Normal consoles: have the fruits
Mz-700: F R A N C I U M
Tomy Tabletop: Cherry
Coleco: NOTHING
Atari 2600 : BEEG CORCLEH
Super Nintendo: Smooth 😎👍
0:45 honestly i dont even know why this is so memorable

scariest death sound is 5:12
KEEEEEEEWAAAAAH

The Nec Pc-8001MkII version of Pac-Man was released in August 1984

MZ700 (Normal type) Pac-Man items are the word fr
0:47 nah that ghost is tweaking
Stage Start, Power Up, and Life Lost
Nec pc 8801s scares
2:21
5:24
i love how mz700 is just “Fr”
Pac man gotta be one of the games
9:29 what is the song?
Probably the menu music from the GBA Pac Man collection
The Game Gear version looks legitimately fantastic for a handheld from 1991.
3:41 what are the frs
Fr means unofficial items of pac man
Fr(uit)
The key on the game boy version kind of looks like a donkey Kong hammer, but black and white
The Apple II version is an official clone originally called Taxman
5:11 OOOASSSSHHHAAAAAAAYYYYYYY

bruh fr fr bro went “GRAAAAAAYHAAAAAAAAH”
2:03 i like the version
What is the side by side screens whenever the hand held systems show up (gameboy, game gear)
Was there a second option to minimize the screen?
Precisely. Most of the early handheld ports either let you play with original graphics in a zoomed-in view, or with tiny graphics to see the whole maze.
0:44 4:43
Spectrum and A2600 have awesome ports, fr
Sounds like gurgling
pc8800: green clyde
c64: green inky
ms dos: green pinky
blinky is the only one that remains uncursed
To this day I'll never understand how the 2600 version was greenlit
Niestety wersja na Apple II niewiele lepsza tyle że ma komplet ikon.
MZ-700's fruits are just Fr.
This is the first time in my life I've ever seen any of the bonus fruit beyond the apple on the Apple ][ ! I had this as a kid---I think I still do, as a matter of fact!---but I've neve made it past the apple stages.
5:12 too creepy
The sound of the Apple II 💀💀💀
T T T T T T t t t
Which one do you remember playing first?
Who da hell is the green ghost? I resorted to greeny😂
Not Clyde, for sure
I like the music at the end. Where's it from?
The tomy looks like game and watch
Roa bro?
Where is nelsonic's pacman watch game
MZ-700 Pac-Man is just Pac-Man for hardcore music enjoyers
the fact we didnt get a direct arcade port until 1999
You Forgot BBC Micro & Atari 7800
they dont exist
72 is my fav number :)

They could’ve used Blue as the the scared ghosts just like how most versions do
Pac-Man released in PC-8001MK2 & PC-8801MK2SR HAS 1985?
I dont know if u noticed butmmz700 fr
What’s “Fr”?
fruit
Or ''for real''
for real
or Francium
They put NABU in it!!! 1:57
wth is a nabu
I don't know what is nabu
I think they put it in the pac man game🤔
NABU is a home computer system with very early Internet; it's functionality was revolutionary at the time
@@EnderArlobasically SEGA Channel if it were a computer made about 8 or so years before SEGA channel
some versions replace clyde with funky.
Ka ieah . 5:12
ok but what were coleco and tomy doing 💀
edit: more bad versions:
sinclair, pc8001 mkii
They were probably LCD games.
They’re LCD games and they technically have better graphics but worse gameplay
This sound is looks like V-5 despawn but lower pitch
In 5:12
