  • Here is yet another entry in my Pac-Mania song comparison series. This time we're taking a look at Block Town, the banger of a song that starts the game off. Thanks to @ToadsTVMusicAndGamePlace for suggesting this one.
    Ports are shown in order from worst to best, in my personal opinion. Versions of Pac-Mania can also be found on the PS1, Sharp X68000, Zeebo, iOS and Android, but all of these versions have been discluded for either not having this particular song, or just being identical to already featured versions.

    I cannot say how disappointed I was when I got my GBA copy and found it only had HALF of the Block Town music. You can’t tell me that cartridge couldn’t hold the other half of the song! Rip OFF!
    Great video. Turns out I really miss the “singing saw” part over the breakdown when it’s missing!

      I'd be disappointed too. The GBA was a system with so much potential, but unfortunately it's great hardware was wasted on mostly lazy ports. In Pac-Man Collection's defense, it was atleast an early game for the system when cartridge sizes were smaller, but even I can't buy the fact they couldn't fit the entire song on the cartridge.

      @@diskyboy1990they probably could have fit the whole song in the cartridge… if all of the songs weren’t stored in INDIVIDUAL samples and not just sequencer files

      @@geometricentric Yeah I'm pretty sure most of the music/sounds were sampled rather being remade with GBA's soundfont which would of took less space...still at least it's port of Pac Man Arrangement is pretty good tho it's missing the credits/ending.

    The remix in Smash has warped my mind so much because it's odd not to hear the Pac-Man's Park segment at the start. It feels incomplete without it now lol

      It really does! I bet it would sound very close to the arcade had it just played a bit faster. My personal favorite has to be the ZX Spectrum. Matt Furniss did a great job on that one.

    Can you do sandbox land next?

    • @diskyboy1990
      @diskyboy1990  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sure, why not. It's the only Pac-Mania song I've yet compare. There's no Euro computer or Master System versions though, since those versions just reuse the Block Town music.

    There is only one version missing, and that's on the Sharp X68000.
