Jmac's Arcade #6 - Pac Man

If you see a little icon instead of a video player, clicking it should make it appear... (Blah LJ)

I remember when PacMan came out for the Atari 2600. It was such an incredible disappointment. Ms. PacMan for the 2600, however, turned out a lot better.

Fun fact: the developers of Atari's Ms. Pac Man were the same people who created the arcade version.

"punched in the nuts"!

Great episode. I'm definitely more familiar with a home console version of Pac-Man (not the 2600, but I can't remember which it was; maybe it was even the C64?).

You are going to post about this on Gameshelf, yes?

Nice. Well writ. :)

Technical note, the closing audio (is that Amy?) is lower level than the rest of the audio, so gets slightly lost, at least in my headphones at work.

It's Julia (cthulhia). Yeah, I may have her redo it... it was recorded before I got my current nice microphone and it's very soft, even when cranked up in software.

Absolutely charming! And very well put together.

I never knew there was a console version--played it entirely at arcades. Nor did I know there was a literature on how to win!

Great ep, Jmac. Never knew you suffered from Pac-man fever. That said, I enjoyed the existential bleakness of the missile command ep even more. I got more attached to pinball tables than video games. I loved Haunted House. Good times.
