@@rosstedfordkendall Nah, I can think of a few Famicom titles from earlier than even this game's original arcade release that put this port to shame. This looks almost like it was made to look awuful even for 8-bit standards on purpose,and since intentionally bad ports made to make a particular piece of hardware look bad aren't something unheard of, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
@@rosstedfordkendall they made games in 1984 or 1985 that were running smoother than this I think it was maybe just a poor attempt or developers didn't care
@@kostaspolyzos6540 Games in 84 and 85 for the NES all looked pretty poor, it wasn't until memory expansion mapper chips came to be that games improved dramatically in looks for the console. Had Namco waited a few years later, say 1989, or 1990 to make this game, it likely would've looked much better.
I saw a video of this game on UA-cam in his early years. The date was 22 May 2007. The images are engraved in my memory for almost sixteen years. And in 2007 this was old then.
The logo on the title screen for this version scared the hell out of me when I saw it. You can seriously tell that this hasn't aged very well. The music was at least faithful however.
Super Mario Bros. came out a few months before this port, so my theory is that Namco rushed this port out in an attempt to capitalize on the success of Super Mario Bros.
Remember how excited you were to bring Pac-Man home, only to discover that it looked like crap on the Atari 2600? Get ready to experience deja vu all over again with Pac-Land on the Famicom.
This is one of the most disappointing Ports for the Famicom, Pacman looks like a corn pop with arms and legs, I love Pac Land and this just looks like crap
It's not the worst game of all time, is just that it has flaws in this, the control is awful because in most curtains games, the d pad moves each directions and A & B performs actions, well in this it's much worser than spiderman,the Terminator, Robocop, Ninja kun, and Karate Master on NES, All the arrows on the d pad is Jumping and A & B moves pac man, what a piece of shit! Also it's very difficult because if you die like 3 times, YOU GO BACK TO BEGINNING OF THE GAME! the only 2 things that are not bad are the music and graphics, they're okay Edit: I changed my mind, the audio and the graphics aren't that good anymore
@@vittosphonecollection57289 Corn Pop was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad boys. And back in those days - to show how things have changed - one of the things you had to use, if you used Pomade in your hair, you had to wear a baby cap. And so he was up on the board and wouldn’t listen to me. I said, ‘Hey, Esther, you! Off the board, or I’ll come up and drag you off.’ Well, he came off, and he said, ‘I’ll meet you outside.' My car - there was a gate on here. I parked my car outside the gate. And he said, ‘I’ll be waiting for you. He was waiting for me with three guys with straight razors. Not a joke. There was a guy named Bill Wright the only white guy and he did all the pools. He was a mechanic. And I said, ‘What am I gonna do?’ And he said. ‘Come down here in the basement, where all the mechanics- - where all the pool builder is.’ You know the chain, there used to be a chain that went across the deep end. And he cut off a six-foot length of chain, and folded it up and he said, ‘You walk out with that chain, and you walk to the car and say, ‘you may cut me man, but I’m gonna wrap this chain around your head,’ He said, ‘you apologize to me?'” he added. “I said, ‘I apologize but not for throwing you out, but I apologize for what I said.’ He said, ‘OK,’ closed that straight razor, and my heart began to beat again.
Pac-Land for Family Computer/Nintendo Entertainment System was looks better than home computer ports, but it's a MS Paint graphic. NAMCO in the early days had their arcade games port to FC/NES thanks to Nintendo granted all-publishers during FC/NES era with 30% fee.
The arcade version is the one that people pull this MS Paint shit with, not knowing that even nearly 40 years later, the arcade version looks stunningly nice.
Holy fucking Shit, they were tripping Balls, when they thought it‘s a fantastic Idea of moving forward by using A & B Correct me, if I‘m wrong but I guess that Nintendo put Arrows on the D-Pad, because of the Reason, that they symbolize Directions Namco on the other Hand: Nahh we don‘t think we should do that, those 2 red Circles are so much better, of course.
Very smooth graphics and poor music port for a NES game Edit: this game looking like this on an Atari 2600, for instance, would be noticeably awesome, not on a NES
Awful, awful port of the arcade game. The levels are redesigned, and there's some goddawful ones requiring pixel perfect jumps later that no other version has. Visuals look like crap too. Lots of features missing as well, like the scenes where the Fairy Queen gives Pac his flight boots, or Pac's family waiting for him when he gets home. Anyone would be much better off giving this one a miss and just playing the arcade or PC-Engine versions.
It came out for some Japanese PC's (like the Sharp X68000 where it is almost arcade perfect), some western PC's, the Famicom, the PC Engine/TG-16, the PS1 on Namco Museum 4, but never for the SNES.
Graphics are not that great and pacman runs slower compared to the original layout and drawings look cheap music was ok but the nes could do better than that
Well this was made in the Famicom's early years, before mapper chips that expanded memory existed. Had this been made in 1988 or later, it might have fared better.

And people say the original Pac-Land had “MS Paint graphics” smh
The NES is capable of a lot better than this...
To be fair, it was a very early Famicom/NES game, so they were still learning to work on graphics.

I remember playing this on the Wii U VC the controls are weird, but it's not a bad port for a Famicom game but the graphics kill it.
Sounds like fun. Pac-Land is awesome, but looked like the animated show on Boomerang.
Davion Blackburn boomerang got rid of that show
@@KnowledgeSeeker78491 what happened?
Idk I just remember and then after that show they put on horrible shows like be cool scooby doo with looks like a family guy clone
@@KnowledgeSeeker78491 awh. thats not good

Pacman is so tiny!

how was the logo scary?
@@Blueflag04 When you played this weird games when you are a kid the imagination made everything scary lol.
Y’all guys complaining the original looks like MS PAINT guess what the NES version is even worst
I feel like Namco should've waited another year or two to port Pac-Land, considering what the system was capable of in it's later years
Super Mario Bros. came out a few months before this port, so my theory is that Namco rushed this port out in an attempt to capitalize on the success of Super Mario Bros.
@@supernintendo182 The arcade version of this game had some influence on SMB 1, so it would come full circle if that's the case.

N A M C O T
That was their division for home consoles
well that's..different ..:\ not to mention pacman has a basbeball cap here
Not sure if the haunted house levels are in this version. It is the only stage in the arcade version that has different theme music to it.
On second thought, I probably would suck at this game.
Wasn't aware of a NES version of this game. Looking at it now and its safe to say that it was probably for the best, as the game looks pretty bad.
mariokarthero thank god it was only on the famicom tho
It had shitty controls for a platformer.
Good thing we have the pc engine version.
They could have done better.
meh,its look cute
That same music, for the entire freaking game..
skirm123 pac man cartoon music
Homeward: am i a joke to you?
Fun Fact: On Nes/Famicom B and A buttons are left and right and the d-pad is jump.
This is one of the most disappointing Ports for the Famicom, Pacman looks like a corn pop with arms and legs, I love Pac Land and this just looks like crap
A corn pop?

The Turbo Graphics version is way better

Map in Smash Bros 👍🏻
I played this game before and I couldn't get through Round 5 because of the platforms and trying to jump of the gaps.
Pac man literally just journeys to the entrance of fairy land just to fly back home? What's the point?!
Hey it's like Smash for Wii U but longer, it only has Pac-man in it, and there's only 1 song!!
This game control setting is so sucks. (A/B key = ←→ move.)
I assume jump is up, then?
jump is left
@@spaceinvader2827 No, A=right B=left & Up on the D-pad=jump
Wrong, the entire d pad is jump
(I tried it)
Yeah! I remember that, a-b to move.
Wowkipanic: PacMan
Animated Wowkipanic:😑
Good port
The graphics were a whole vomit bag
Holy fucking Shit, they were tripping Balls, when they thought it‘s a fantastic Idea of moving forward by using A & B

the arcade version did that too apparently
Low quality port...
WHY ARE THE SPRITES SO SMALL
Beacause the nes has 256x240 cannot do hardware stretched resolution. But the arcade resolution is about 256x264
Very smooth graphics and poor music port for a NES game
Edit: this game looking like this on an Atari 2600, for instance, would be noticeably awesome, not on a NES
It looks passable
Graphics are not that smooth
I've seen better 1984 nes games with better graphics
El juego es raro no solo porque la musica es la misma que la de la propaganda de coltix sino tambien porque pacman ahora camina

Where’s Avgn when you need him I mean come on the controls are reversed.
