12:45 ColecoVision is my favorite because the ghosts look really cute when going up or down. They also have regeneration animations after they get eaten, which I think is really cool.
Atari later used the code for HALl's game "Taxman" with alterations for the Apple II version of Pac Man by Atarisoft. Thanks in part to Midway and Namco suing.
Same I was born exactly in 2000 but was lucky enough to play pac-man, street fighter II, and galaga on an arcade machine. This washing place my dad used to take me too had a bunch of arcade machines and I used save up quarters to be able to play whenever we went. Sadly, they eventually took most of the arcade games out later on. I think frogger was the only one left lol
It's a shame the ColecoVision version never got released - it's one of the better-looking early 80's ports. The ghosts look downright menacing when moving up or down and I love that "reverse dissolve" effect when they reappear in their box in the centre. EDIT: The sound of Pac-Man eating pellets in the Apple ][ version sounds like vegetables being chopped up.
I have never felt more pride in my life than getting Pacman to run on the SharpX1. I don't think many people understand how much effort must go into these videos. But after days of messing around with Japanese computer emulators, I understand.
The first VIC-20 version was surprisingly good for being such an early port. Though, I guess it isn't too surprising, given it came from HAL Laboratory of all things.
It was so good commodore got sued and they had to rename it Jelly Monsters. But then Commodore created their own clone called C=osmic cruncher. And about 2 years later Atarisoft released the official version on the Vic. There's another good one called Quickman and Quickman 2k8.
@@summer20105707If my memory serves right, Commodore only got sued for selling it in America, as Atarisoft owned the license to Pac-Man in home computers and consoles for America. But in Japan it was perfectly fine
I had the Coleco tabletop version as a kid, and yes, it was big time ear rape. Sad thing was I played it frequently and got quite good at it. Also, any version that puts the maze on its side should be Thanos snapped out of existence.
@@Amtrak.and.CSX.Fan281 it was more likely that they did it because they didn't have resolution needed to do it vertically, so doing it horizontally was a fine choice to programmers at the time
If I do recall correctly, the Namco Museum games for the PS1, OG Xbox, PS2, and N64 also had an additional mode where you could turn your television sideways and play it in the exact same ratio as the actual arcade game.
It's nice seeing all these versions. Little by little computer graphics improved throughout the years. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put together this video.
Man oh man, sitting here watching an hour and fourteen minutes of nothing but the first level of Pac-Man with the only difference being the resolutions and styles of the different ports, those of us who were able to endure the whole thing should be given medals. Lol! Lots of respect though, I didn't realize how many ports of this one game were out there now. I know it's an arcade classic but geeze come on! How many times can you port the same game to how many consoles at once? I also have to ask, how long did it take you to make this video? All of that Pac-Man game play alone must have taken weeks (hence the respect). ✋
Back in the 80's and 90's it was pretty common for a lot of arcade games to receive ports to pretty much every console and computer out there, often having a lot of sacrifices because the arcade machines were a lot more powerful than home computers and game consoles.
Thanks! I believe that it took me about three weeks to complete the video. First, trying to get all the ports and run them properly (some japanese systems are tricky to configure and I spent many hours trying to get some games), then playing all versions (I had to do it many times to get a decent gameplay) and finally editing the video (that part wasn't difficult but took me a lot of time because the volume of ports).
Pac-Man has aged very well and even though it's hard to mess him up. He stayed pretty faithful to the original arcade release over the years and on different consoles. What a great and timeless classic. Great comparison video.
My opinion on these versions: Coleco Tabletop: Well, that must be the most embarrassing thing Coleco ever made. Annoying sounds, ghosts aren't ghosts, the pac-man is small... 1/5 VIC-20(HAL): It's okay, but the sounds when a ghost returns back to their house are annoying. 4.5/5 Tomy Tabletop: MUCH better than Coleco, but still isn't perfect. 2.5/5 Atari 2600: It's ok, but it would be more playable without flickering.(Yes, i know about hardware limitations.) 3/5 Atari 5200: It would be the best port for pacman, if it wasn't on Atari 5200, and if it didn't had the sound that turned on every time you've eaten a power pellet. 4/5 Atari 8-bit family: Atari 5200 port, but it's playable. Still, that sound exists so it isn't 5/5. 4.5/5 Apple II: Ghosts look awful, and so does the text. 3.5/5 VIC-20(Atarisoft): It looks more bad, but the sound is less louder. 4.5/5 Commodore 64: Atari 5200 port, but every time you eat a power pellet/normal pellet, two dudes start banging on a old motel bed. 4/5 ColecoVision: It looks great, it sounds great and i'm sure it plays great! 5/5 Intellivision: Atari 2600 port, but the graphics are better and there's no flickering. Sound is still pretty annoying tho. 4/5 TI-99/4A: ColecoVision port, but far slower. 4/5 PC-DOS: Graphics would be great if it have released in 1985. And the sounds are *vomits* on this vomit i like to call "PC Speaker". 3/5 NEC PC-88: Sound is bad. That's all i can say about this one. 4.5/5 Sharp X1: Sound is horrible. 3/5 Sharp MZ-700: Bruh. 2.5/5 Sharp MZ-700(PCG): Graphics are a lot better, so it's 25% fixed. 3/5 Sharp MZ-1500: It looks more like an arcade version, but the start music is a LOT faster than any game play on these machines. 3.5/5 FM-7: Atari 2600 version, but it looks like an arcade. Oh, and sound is pretty bad. 3.5/5 MSX: Animation is smooth and sound isn't loud. And graphics do look pretty good. 5/5 NES: Remember what i said about MSX? Well, to see NES experience, just remove the "n't" from "isn't" and change the "good" to "bad". 4/5 ZX Spectrum: Sound isn't loud, but ghosts look like skulls/squids and i wouldn't even see cherry. 3/5 NEC PC-6001mkII: Ghosts are pretty wide and the sound is crappy. 3.5/5 If i will have more time, i will add more opinions about the ports, but for now, bye!
Pac-Man is one of my all time fave arcade games. I played it a lot on the Atari2600 and back in the day i enjoyed it a lot, even tho its a true abomination. Another great video RetroSutra. Thanks.

It would've been nice to see the Bally Astrocade port. It was eventually released as "Munchie" and "Muncher" after they failed to acquire the rights to sell it under the name "Pac-Man". Since Bally was the U.S. distributor for the arcade version they figured they had the right to use it for home console use but Atari had gained those rights already... they took Atari to court and Atari won. There were 21 prototype carts made which actually have the name "Pac-Man" when you play them, one of which I have.
Wow, loving how this video breaks it down. I will always opt for Ms. Pac-Man in its arcade form, but there is definitely a wild difference between all of the version. Props on attempting this amazing topic!
Boy oh boy, are there that many versions of Pac-Man! I play Pac-Man Doodle and I'm glad you added it to the video. I also play Pac-Man emulators if you're wondering.
The PacMan2 tabletop game by Entex was pretty good. You and a friend could take turns chasing the other as a ghost! Would've been good to get one of the playable watches from the '80s in there too. Pac-Man was *everywhere* in the 80s!
the two names of the ghosts in the japanese pac-man are different than the english names japanese names-english names "chaser" red guy-"shadow" blinky "ambusher" pinky-"speedy" pinky "fickle" blue guy-"bashful" inky "stupid" slow guy-"pokey" clyde
Great comparison/contrast video! I own multiple ports of this one. Will be including a recommendations, and a links to your videos on this one on my channel's review video of the Atari VCS/2600 port Wednesday.
The original arcade game and the Ms. Pac Man arcade game are the only ones I ever knew. But that sample from the original game really took me back. Felt like high school!
I don't know the company who create Kirby ports Pac-Man to VIC-20 (as original VIC-20 port) I mean "original" because it was created before Atarisoft ports it to VIC-20 Also, good video, Retrosutra!
11:11 The VIC-64 version not very pretty really... Despite its hardware "sprites" that seems to have been designed with games like this in mind. Plus the sound does not make use of the SID possibilities at all.
PACMAN (1980, the Original Arcade) can be found in Pacman World (2000, PS1), Pacman World 2 (2003, PS2, GameCube, Xbox), Pacman World 3 (2005, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, PSP) and also Pacman Party (2010,Wii).
PACMAN (1980) can be also played in Pacman World 1 (Ps1), Pacman World 2 (GameCube, PS2, Xbox, PC), Pacman World 3 (Ps2, Psp, GameCube, Xbox, PC), also in Pacman Party for Wii, on Antstream that you can only play it on your Smart TV, Mini Arcade Machine that was seen in the second season of Stranger Things from HASBRO, Pacman Museum (PS3, Xbox 360) and even in Namco Museum Collection Vol 1 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and Stream).
They also look adorable in the ColecoVision Unreleased. They have different moods depending on the direction they are facing, and they have regenerating animations after getting eaten.
Don't care what the cliche opinion is, I love Pacman on the Atari 2600. Played it for hours as a young kid in the early 80's and nobody was batching about how bad it was back then. The sound effects of that version was used in so many 80's movies and TV shows. Good memories 🙂
It's great to see this exhaustive compilation, even though it's unfortunate that many of the captures are stretched out, instead of the proper 4x3 aspect ratio. Anyway, as someone who only played it on Atari 2600 when i was a kid, i didn't realize just how bad the experience was until watching it again. I hadn't played the 2600 version in about 35 years.
Wow! Was the Coleco table top really that annoying back then?? I remember loving the hell out of it! Now is definitely a different story! I sound like my mom did back then...lol!!

My opinion on these versions:
Coleco Tabletop: Well, that must be the most embarrassing thing Coleco ever made. Annoying sounds, ghosts aren't ghosts, the pac-man is small... 1/5
VIC-20(HAL): It's okay, but the sounds when a ghost returns back to their house are annoying. 4.5/5

Atari 2600: It's ok, but it would be more playable without flickering.(Yes, i know about hardware limitations.) 3/5
Atari 5200: It would be the best port for pacman, if it wasn't on Atari 5200, and if it didn't had the sound that turned on every time you've eaten a power pellet. 4/5
Atari 8-bit family: Atari 5200 port, but it's playable. Still, that sound exists so it isn't 5/5. 4.5/5
Apple II: Ghosts look awful, and so does the text. 3.5/5
VIC-20(Atarisoft): It looks more bad, but the sound is less louder. 4.5/5
Commodore 64: Atari 5200 port, but every time you eat a power pellet/normal pellet, two dudes start banging on a old motel bed. 4/5
ColecoVision: It looks great, it sounds great and i'm sure it plays great! 5/5
Intellivision: Atari 2600 port, but the graphics are better and there's no flickering. Sound is still pretty annoying tho. 4/5
TI-99/4A: ColecoVision port, but far slower. 4/5
PC-DOS: Graphics would be great if it have released in 1985. And the sounds are *vomits* on this vomit i like to call "PC Speaker". 3/5
NEC PC-88: Sound is bad. That's all i can say about this one. 4.5/5
Sharp X1: Sound is horrible. 3/5
Sharp MZ-700: Bruh. 2.5/5
Sharp MZ-700(PCG): Graphics are a lot better, so it's 25% fixed. 3/5
Sharp MZ-1500: It looks more like an arcade version, but the start music is a LOT faster than any game play on these machines. 3.5/5
FM-7: Atari 2600 version, but it looks like an arcade. Oh, and sound is pretty bad. 3.5/5
MSX: Animation is smooth and sound isn't loud. And graphics do look pretty good. 5/5
NES: Remember what i said about MSX? Well, to see NES experience, just remove the "n't" from "isn't" and change the "good" to "bad". 4/5
ZX Spectrum: Sound isn't loud, but ghosts look like skulls/squids and i wouldn't even see cherry. 3/5
NEC PC-6001mkII: Ghosts are pretty wide and the sound is crappy. 3.5/5
If i will have more time, i will add more opinions about the ports, but for now, bye!

The ports started off as absolute dogshit, but they improved over time.
The arcade version remains perfect however
Hardly, the first Vic 20 version is excellent. Sounds are IMO better than the arcade version. The Atari 8-bit versions are good too.
it's almost as if technology improved
@@martin0499 The first one that looks accurate to the arcade ver is the playstation one.
When Clyde and Inky are on top of each other in the MSX version after you have eaten a big dot (27:54), it looks kinda funny.
Pac-Man is one of my all time fave arcade games. I played it a lot on the Atari2600 and back in the day i enjoyed it a lot, even tho its a true abomination. Another great video RetroSutra. Thanks.
Happy
I never understood what was wrong with the atari 2600 version
Minecraft released a Pac-Man content pack a few months ago. As far as I know, you can build the original game, but in 3D.

It would've been nice to see the Bally Astrocade port. It was eventually released as "Munchie" and "Muncher" after they failed to acquire the rights to sell it under the name "Pac-Man". Since Bally was the U.S. distributor for the arcade version they figured they had the right to use it for home console use but Atari had gained those rights already... they took Atari to court and Atari won. There were 21 prototype carts made which actually have the name "Pac-Man" when you play them, one of which I have.
21:23 the first 3 seconds sounded like monkey watch.
Wow, loving how this video breaks it down. I will always opt for Ms. Pac-Man in its arcade form, but there is definitely a wild difference between all of the version. Props on attempting this amazing topic!
Honestly for 1981 im giving it to the Vic-20 for the sounds it produced almost sounded like the arcade. Im very impressed
Yes, the sounds are fantastic. I actually prefer some (eating ghosts and fruits) to the arcade ones.
All pacman versions is best :)

In the coleco tabletop pacman looks very depressed when he closes his mouth
I'd be depressed if I had to be in that game.
MSX and Famicom are the best versions for 8-bit...
So's the NES version.
they are almost the same
God damn this game was ported to just about anything, wasn't it?
I still remember when I met you through this video, and now you are one of my favorite youtubers :)

Great comparison/contrast video! I own multiple ports of this one. Will be including a recommendations, and a links to your videos on this one on my channel's review video of the Atari VCS/2600 port Wednesday.
Great compilation! Seemd like the nes versions are the first really good arcade like ports.

1981 HAL Laboratory VIC-1001/VIC-20/VC-20 port : Am I a joke to you?
The original arcade game and the Ms. Pac Man arcade game are the only ones I ever knew. But that sample from the original game really took me back. Felt like high school!
Not going to lie, this one was a bit of an endurance test! You must have been hearing Pac-Man sounds for a week after making this.
Ugh, so exausted...
You’re supposed to eat the Ghosts when you run into the power pellet!!!!!!!
Thanks for making this! Excellent job :)

Well, I got a little video game history today. I didn't know in 1983, Atari made a Pac-Man game for Coleco-Vision that was never released.
This is the definition of a arcade game 🕹
Who would listen to the tabletop coleco version of Pacman (1'18) for a period of time
I think Coleco Tabletop version is almost impossible to play because of this horrible sound.
Great video btw.
Ur right.

I don't know the company who create Kirby ports Pac-Man to VIC-20 (as original VIC-20 port)
I mean "original" because it was created before Atarisoft ports it to VIC-20
Also, good video, Retrosutra!
11:11 The VIC-64 version not very pretty really... Despite its hardware "sprites" that seems to have been designed with games like this in mind. Plus the sound does not make use of the SID possibilities at all.

You know that Pac-Man is in 1980 that looks so cool
27:41 I thought that MSX version ghosts were the same as NES/Famicom ones
Too bad you didn't have more opportunities to do a 4-ghost chain. That's one of the most fun parts of the game.
The ghost look adorable in the Atari 5200 version
They also look adorable in the ColecoVision Unreleased. They have different moods depending on the direction they are facing, and they have regenerating animations after getting eaten.
Don't care what the cliche opinion is, I love Pacman on the Atari 2600. Played it for hours as a young kid in the early 80's and nobody was batching about how bad it was back then. The sound effects of that version was used in so many 80's movies and TV shows. Good memories 🙂
Watched this in one sitting, great video! :) Also funny that I've never played any of these...
so you've never played pac man?

@@Cp-71 I have been playing pacman since 1981. I was 7 years old.
It's great to see this exhaustive compilation, even though it's unfortunate that many of the captures are stretched out, instead of the proper 4x3 aspect ratio. Anyway, as someone who only played it on Atari 2600 when i was a kid, i didn't realize just how bad the experience was until watching it again. I hadn't played the 2600 version in about 35 years.
