Nice shirt, love it That was awesome. It's interesting too see how fast certain ones move. You are great at pacman, very entertaining to watch. I've got the Atari 2600...which is so difficult to play and I have the NES version. I like how you get the ghost into an area and then just eat them all lol. I have not looked at any homebrews but it look awesome.
Thanks. Pac-man is one of my favorite retro games. I was so addicted to the arcade version trying to get to the kill screen. I never did though. I can get to the 9th key and a little beyond, but fatigue always come into play and I get out of the "zone" and die. Yep, the Pac-Man collection homebrew is awesome on the Colecovision.
Hey thanks for making it. It is one of the best , if not the best ports I've played on these 8 bit consoles. The closest to the arcade I've played. Nice, can't wait to see what's coming. Keep up the great work. 👍
I have it. Dang good game. Much better than the OG one. Sorry I didn't include it, but since Homebrew didn't count, I only put the Coleco one on because I felt it was the best and wanted to show a near arcade port can be possible.
Radio Shack (I think the website still exists) sells an on/off switch that works perfectly with the Colecovision and once installed, doesn't look bodged. If someone who wasn't familiar with the CV might just assume it was the original button. I installed mine some years ago (shortly before they closed almost all of the radio shack stores in America). I taped the old switch to the inside of the case. There was just no fixing the old one, at least not permanently. I took the thing apart and sanded, cleaned and then polished the contacts and in 6 months it was doing the same thing (this was after many cleaning efforts before that). It is amazing how many problems that switch creates.
Yes sir. The weird problems it creates, because all the different voltages are ran through it. Lol. I might just go that route and try to find a replacement switch.
3:00 Why is the screen all jacked up? I don't mean the discoloration at the top. The vertical lines are almost invisible. Is it just an artifact of the capture? Is the screen you see in person? 3:35 It's the poor vertical resolution of the intellivision. All of the pac man ports on intellivision have this problem. The pac man hardware put out a 224(H)x 288(V) resolution. Intellivision only has about 100.
The good news is that you can play the same Pac-Man on the Atari 400 using digital controllers. It and ColecoVision have great ports of this. Oh, and Super Pac-Man on the Atari 800 is pretty awesome.
Yeah... I thought about that. Including the Atari 8 bit version with the XEGS. But.. technically it's a computer and not a console and I wanted to keep this strictly on consoles. Or else I would have included the C64 and Apple II versions too. But yeah, you're right the same version with a digital controller.👍
@@RetrogamerGenX Ah yes. Got it. The 5200 is such a quandary that way since it's 99% the same as the Atari 400 (and one of the designers of the 400 revealed that the Atari 400 was originally intended to be a console). A very blurry distinction with that machine for sure.
I had an Atari 800 computer and that version was the best at this time it was the 5200 version but you can use the standard 2600 joysticks. The 2600 pac man is not that bad at the time I was so excited to get it. You couldn’t play a license pac man anywhere else. I guess kid me, thought of course it’s not going be like the arcade it’s on the Atari. It was one of the few games my mom would play and she was pretty good at it too.
I felt the same way as a kid, you kind of expected games on the 2600 to be not as good as the arcade. When Mrs. Pacman came out, they got it right. Still not as good as the arcade, but much better than pac man. Cool memories with you and your mom playing.
Where's the Tengen version of 2600 Pac-Man. There was a licensed version of Pac-Man from tangan but the licensing of Pac Man was a Trojan horse for Tengen to reverse engineer the 10 NES chip and make games without licensing.
I believe the tengen and namco versions are identical, besides the title screens. I played both, and they seemed exactly the same, even the ghosts ran the same patterns. But I could be wrong. The tengen copy is just unlicensed, tengen was notorious for their unlicensed games.
Yep, it's the same as the 5200 version, but with good digital controllers on the 8 bits. I like that version too. I remember seeing KITT on Knight Rider playing it with Micheal in an episode way back in the 80's and I wanted it.
I wouldn't say the Atari 2600 version is one of the the "worst game(s) ever". Is is a bad port when compared to the arcade version? Sure. I'd say that they did the best with the resources they had but then look at the 2600 version of Ms Pac-Man which was much better. But perhaps they were given more resources (time/budget) for Ms Pac-Man.
Yeah, Mrs. Pac-man was much better. They spent time on that one to make it right. There are homebrew versions of pacman that are much better for the 2600 than the original one.

Thanks for demoing my version of Pac-Man Collection. I am now working on a much improved new version coming soon for the ColecoVision. 🙂

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
There is a homebrew Pacman for the 2600 that is pretty good. It think the ROM is called pacman2600_8k.
I have it. Dang good game. Much better than the OG one. Sorry I didn't include it, but since Homebrew didn't count, I only put the Coleco one on because I felt it was the best and wanted to show a near arcade port can be possible.
I played the Coleco version as a kid and thought "Who stole the maze outlay first Coleco or Atari 5200?"

No my screen looks fine. Must be from the capture device.

Too funny!! 🤣🤣

If you recap your collecovision, that will most likely fix that problem.
Parts are already on order. When I get around to fixing it, I'll post the diagnostic and repair here on the channel. Stay tuned...
Wasn't there a 7800 version or was that just ms pac man?
Not Pacman, only Mrs. Pac-Man on 7800.
Total mandella effect
@@joshuapettus6973 Dude, I thought the same thing. I was sure Pac-Man was on the 7800, but nope. 🤣🤣

... 8 bit atari computer version ...
