In this video I deep dive into the history of the arcade video game Super Pac-Man developed as the original sequel to Pac-Man by Namco and why Super Pac-Man doesn’t seem to share the same legacy as other Pac-Man sequels. We discuss the rather dodgy relationship between Namco and the US license holder for Pac-Man Bally/Midway and how a series of some what less than officially designed sequel games might have contributed to hurting the legacy of Super Pac-Man and its success in the arcade marketplace in the early 1980’s. Hope you enjoy it :-D
Thanks for Watching!

I love this video game, out of all Arcade1up games made I own 2 of these for the game play and look. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. All the pictures, newspaper’s clippings and game play. You took me back to being a kid again, thank you.
Finally some attention on Super Pac-Man!
I enjoyed this, I could soak in pac-history all day. I especially love Ladybug and Pepper II, and it's always nice to see them get some recognition!
Don't forget Amidar!
I always love your approach Cassandra. I am glad you added a Super Pac-man to your collection. I too have one in my arcade. It is an amazing game full of complexities and challenges. I would say it is one of the most underrated arcade games of all time. It is exciting to find those survivors! Each has a unique story we collectors love to hear and share. I will bet as you play Super Pac-man and uncover its sophistication you will find it growing on you more and more. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love how you deliver such detail on this historical look at pac man!! Thanks for all the content 😎
Always enjoy your vids. I drove 12 hours round trip to pick up an original un modded super Pac-Man cocktail. Did some light bondo work just order new art from this old arcade along with t molding.
Your documentaries pack a lot of quality and hard work. Nothing to envy to commercial ones. thanks for your time! 👍
Thanks for the nostalgia trip. I remember thinking Super Pac-Man was too different back when I first saw it in arcades, so I stuck with Ms. Pac-Man. I really like Super now though. It's a lot of fun.
What a brilliant video! I had no idea that a lot of the pacman games weren't official despite being manufactured by Bally. Here in the UK, pacland was extremely popular !
Howdy Arcade Gal, how you doing this evening ?? You do a good job of sharing real information, regarding Classic Arcade Games, I appreciate the real research you do on the Arcade Games your sharing information about, that is very Cool indeed, Thank you, hope school is going well, and look forward to your next video,
Being born in 1970, I literally played these games as they debuted, it was the perfect time to be born, to enjoy all these Arcade games, as they debuted and are now Classic Arcade games sought after around the World today....still looking for a Robotron 2084, and Dragon's Lair..
Peace
I just played Super Pac-Man for the first time on Switch and I had no idea this game existed!! Had to do some research on this one. Excellent video!
Same with me, but I did in the beginning of the month and I knew about the game
That background music... Did I just get rickrolled?
7:15 listen to the background music
I recall seeing a Super Pac-Man cabinet at a local movie theater back in the mid 2000s, which was how I was introduced to the game. My family aren't into video games and were only familiar with the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games at that point.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 🍀😜 You are putting so much energy in preparing your videos! I'm wondering how you find so many different historical videos you use in yours. It gives some interesting "taste". I'm trying also to create mini channnel about retro computers but the atmosphere is fully different. Probably that's why yt proposed me to visit your. It's my first visit but not the last.
Love these and another Stellar overview of not only that great game but the entire PAC-MAN Phenomenon of the early 80s!
The Hungry like a wolf was a nice touch.
Here after finding out that Super Pac-Man was announced as another Arcade to download from Nintendo’s eShop.
Awesome game!
your videos are always amazing!
Super pac man is now available for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4
Great video thanks for the hard work on making this video.
I have a super pacman PCB and it's such a great game.
Awesome video cassie
You easily have the best combination of thoroughness and entertainment in these single-game focus videos, Cassandra! I missed a good chunk of a hockey game because this popped up on my recommendations, and I'm kinda okay with it! ;p
One question on your cabinet though, purely out of curiosity...with the paint flecking off on some parts, and after mentioning the overspray hinting that it may have originally intended to be a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet, have you seen a layer of that Ms. Pac-Man light blue or maybe even some unfinished cabinet art underneath?
Thanks so much! The light blue is under much of the back where the paint flaking is super heavy, and you can see it in some spots on the side but I can't see any sign of stencils. Maybe they just used the light blue as a primer that day in the factory? It is strange though.
A good laundromat has a Ms. Pacman that has a speed up chip installed.
EXCELLENT!
Great video! I have a soft spot for Super Pac. Mainly because I had a decent pattern that would get me pretty far when I was 12.
Awesome video! Time to get the MAME out again 🔥🔥🔥
Watching this while in my pac man pants and shirt
That is how you roll Bearcade, and we love you for it!
24:26 Wonder what those things are that guy placed up into the rear of the machines ? Buffer pads type stuff ?
Some of the pac clones were pretty imaginative,even the few pornographic cabinets
Non violent??
AYKM Pac Man is survival Horror 101.
