The Disappearance of Ms. Pac-Man:
• The Disappearance of M...
Season: 4
Episode: 07
#PacMan #PacManMuseum+ #nintendoswitch - เกม
The "shimmering" I mention is-barely noticeable because of a post bilinear filter Vegas uses when scaling clips.
The best idea of what it looks like is at 10:24 if you want to get a rough idea what "pixel shimmering" is.
7:30, you spelt original wrong. 0/10.
(side note there's one of those annoying spam bots above, report it)
You know I can ignore most of the problems you stated, but I agree with you about the switch controllers not being good for this game
Bro, none of these problems are that big of a deal. Calm down, virgin
@@QuestionMarking oops. I was editing this with zero sleep and never looked back lol
Why tf do you say the word "remember" as "reNember" in all of your videos??? Are you stupid?
7:41 missed opportunity to call “Pac-Mom” “Pac-Ma’am” instead 🙄
I mean this is probably my GOTY. Not sure why, I've just been obsessed with actually getting good at Pacman. Like a bucket list kind of thing.
Pacman is a completely different game once you get really good at it. But, that's not really a benefit of the collection. It just so happens that the collection was the game which spurred me onto doing it.
I do think it is a great collection though from a variety point. But it's still lacking a few games which would elevate it into top tier.
You have pac man fever
As someone who never played Pac-Man games, outside of the first one and Ghostly Adventures, I'm really sold.
I’ve actually been going through a similar thing. Finally learning how to get good at Pac-Man has been really fun.
Yeah if they’d added the Pac-Man world games to it then it might’ve been worthwhile but for now it’s just painfully mediocre.
I always enjoy seeing your chill takes on games in comments or social media! Really goes to show that just cuz you're lonely don't mean you gotta be grumpy haha
Since I didn't see this mentioned in the video, Super Pac-Man in Museum+ uses the faster Japanese ROM as opposed to the English ROM. In the Japanese version, when you're powered up by a Super Pellet, you move much, much faster when holding down the Speed button, which only makes the control delay/latency even more obvious.
Pac-Mania, which also has some pretty bad latency on its own, feels even worse to play in Museum+.
I have a secret
I have no problems running my pattern on super pac-man on the xbox.
hit 110k, and will eventually get to my normal 300k plus.

Is pac-mania the version that skips levels?
@@bland9876 No it does not. I think its the Japanese version.

I've played multiple ports of Pac-Mania and haven't experienced any latency.
Oh hey, I recognize that Jonii person. :P But yeah, I have to say I agree with most of your criticism here, especially in regards to the input delay, which I felt pretty hard on 1995's Arrangement. The breakdown of some of the more technical details was great to see broken down, especially because I'm not as much of an expert a lot of those details. Still been quite enjoying busting out Pac-Mania every now and again though. Good stuff!
Your video was really good btw. 👍
i have yet to see any delay on the XBOX version, maybe its a different build?
i've tried the PC one also. no issues there. maybe the ps and nintendo have them.
great video on ms pac man by the way.

Nice videos
Honestly I'm surprised they aren't doing Ms. Pac-man as DLC like they did with the previous Pac-Man Museum. Selling it as it's own cheap DLC meant they only had to pay royalties on the DLC's cost, not the cost of the entire collection.
Hopefully that comes later, but I'm not holding my breath
Have you forgotten the Namco vs Atgames thing?
@@someone6531 I mentioned that in my comment. They got around that with the previous collection by selling Mrs. Pac-Man as DLC, so instead of paying royalties on the sales of the collection, they only had to pay on sales of the DLC itself
@@theotakux5959 ah, you right, sorry
@@theotakux5959 In 2019, they lost the ability to release ANYTHING with Ms. Pac-Man in it.
Pac-in-Time is actually a sprite swap of a dos game called Furry of the Furries. The type of game is often called "European platformers" since most games of this type were made in Europe for early computers like the amiga, the commodore or the spectrum.
Yes... But the goal of Fury of the Furries ISN'T to find all the pallets like the Super Nintendo version (which have really worst physics... ) the DOS, Amiga and Macintosh version are the best version of that game in my opinion.
The pac is back.
Pac's our hero
Pac just can't be beat yeahhh!
The pac is back.
Pac bac
He’s a chowing down machine
Pac-Man gets released so much at least if something happens to the Original Pac-Man will still have versions of it LOL
Playing Pac-in-time on this collection to unlock Pac-Attack was one of the most miserable gaming experiences I’ve ever had
You Know You Could Of Just Killed Pac-Man A Few Times. That’s What I Did. Pac In Time Sucks.
Same I unlocked pac in time just a few hours and I bought this game at launch other than that this game is superior
The game absolutely sucks until world 2, then it’s better but still not great, and the Japanese version is the worst one and the US version is more forgiving from what I have seen
@@JonahBoing I meant pac man museum plus is superior not pac in time
@@EthiotendoEdits I know, I am saying that Pac in Time is bad until world 2, this game is great I love it lol
"I don't think any game as old as Pacman, is as good as Pacman"
idk man pong kinda slaps
There is a “game list” feature. You hit either X (on switch) or start
"144 gigahertz monitor" Damn where can I get a monitor that fast
144,000,000,000 refreshes a second. Ima be clicking on heads so well with that thing
2:49: "Next time someone tells you that this games an Isometric game, you give them a big ol' kiss...I mean you tell them your wrong."
That sounds like an Romantic entanglement waiting to go wrong.
🤓"It's not isometric, it's cavalier."
I'm only kidding, of course.
(16:00) Tbf there actually is a game list, you access by pressing the plus button in the arcade and it will appear on the side. Tho they do never actually tell you about it lol.
I've played on both Pacman Battle Royale machine models irl.
That is a great reason to buy it, if you needed justification. But no custom design for it kinda sucks quite a bit
I've only ever seen the table top version
Honestly this inclusion would and could make it a good pick for PC-based multicades or something of the nature
Fun fact: Ms. Pac-Man still appears in Pac-Man Arrangement (2005) in the end credits which I find funny because of how hard they tried to hide her
Thank you for teaching me about cavalier shapes, I have now ascended to a higher level of geometrical knowledge.
I'm still calling isometric for the giggles.
Gamedev here, Unity is NOT at fault for any issues in this collection, that is all down to the developer.
Addressing Unity as the source of these issues is pretty harmful for younger gamedevs and its a common mistake I see people make.
Any issues here caused by what the developer programmed, not the engine that the developers used. If they had done this on any other engine I'm sure these problems would still persist.
Yes
But he never blamed unity. He just said that unity probably wasn't the best choice for arcade game emulation
Did you even watch the whole video?
He wasn't blaming unity, he was blaming the game devs for using unity when they could have made an engine that they would know how to work with. Rather than an engine that isn't 100% suited for doing this specific task.
I feel like you missed the point of the video if this is your takeaway...
This video was about the fact that namco took the easy route instead of using the inhouse emulator they already have 🤓
I've also noticed that the arcade room has some strange collision issues when placing certain objects near each other.
8:45 this is actually misinformation. Unity was used for the arcade menu, and porting the 3D/Modern games over. The games that are emulated aren't "emulated through Unity"
th-cam.com/video/mRXv7Gdt67A/w-d-xo.html
Two big downsides to this collection: No online multiplayer despite having 5 multiplayer games AND emulation sound issues
I think its best for this game to not have online mutiplayer. Like who's going to be playing this game after many months?
Nice review! I was looking into getting this game and you go into great detail about things.
But as a gamedev, the game being developed in Unity isn't part of the problem. These issues can still happen in any other engine if they're not addressed by the dev team. Things like budget, time constraints, team size, skill level, etc. play a role as well. This misinformation can be harmful for devs as it may deter people from experiencing great games made in the engine due to said info.
Only if they’re dumb
Not at all what he said
All the technical stuff went over my head I have to admit. I just enjoyed most of the games for what they were
Because you don't know any better
@@uhhh_adam ...For enjoying Pac Man games regardless? In that case I hope I never know better, if it affects the attitude that much.
You know what they say, ignorance is bliss. But it's good that the facts are out there for people who want to learn more.
The PS1 games remain my favorites of the Museum series. They just got the whole package right, and really stood out amongst pretty much all other game collections thanks to those actual explorable museums. Glad you mentioned them near the end, they're just cool. :)
What's your thoughts on Mappy?
@@retrofan4963 It's a cute little retro game!
@@CharemTheShadox I agree. Mappy is actually my favorite game of all time :)
it's so pathetic when an earlier collection does so much stuff better than a newer collection
@@geoffreyhamm3436 Because gaming still had care in the 90's. It's all corporate now. No passion. No heart.
New SilokHawk upload, let's go! ^^ I love hearing your takes on things, will definitely watch later after I take care of some planning. You cover a lot of niche topics that are very interesting.
I wish they included the world games since I love 3D platform games and I would love to try ‘em out
impossible
They'd have to edit out the characters and unlockable games Midway created and since the characters appear in pre-rendered cutscenes, that would be impossible.
Just emulate the games if you have a means of doing so.
@@PipeGuy64Bit Is that the reason there isn't anymore Pac-Man world games?
@@PipeGuy64Bit That was a huge missed opportunity, but honestly, I get it.
hey
The PC version I played seemed pretty good. I went back to test the input lag after you mentioned it and I couldn't notice any.
It's worth noting the game DOES have a simple games list, just press plus on your controller while in the arcade.
The main problem for me was the vsync. The Vsync option only applies to the arcade, and it is EXTREMELY noticeable on games like Pac N Roll & Battle Royale. There's even screen-tearing on Pac-In-Time, like how???
i suggest you to disable v-sync in every game and enable it just from your control panel, then if you have a gsync-freesync display you should limit fps to "your refresh rate-3" (for example for a 144hz i will set the limit to 141), sorry for bad english
Disable free sync and see if you notice input lag
No deal without Ms. /Jr. / Plus / Baby / Mr. & Mrs. (pinball) / Professor Pac-Man. I get it, weird rights issues, but those Bally Midway Pac sequels were an essential part of arcades in the early 80s (even the weird ones)... ESPECIALLY Ms. PacMan... which is superior in every way to PacMan and which stuck around in laundromats, bars and rest stops LONG after OG Pacman and the arcade scene went away. It's a damn shame.
Also I kinda hoped for a way to use the “Fast” version of Pac-Man, which is really really fun.
Baby Pac-man would be tough to port since there's that whole pinball part of the game.
Great video! Goes much more on the details than the other reviews.
There are some stuff you forgot to mention that are wrong with this collection.
1. The coin system : I feel like the coins draining when inserting a coin was such a bad addition imo. It's bothering me when I'm trying to get perfect patterns over and over by trying again.
2. The roms themselves: You kinda mentioned it while talking about Pac in Time, but it feels like they have chosen the worst roms possible.
For example:
Super Pac-Man has the harder japanese rom.
Pac-Mania is the japanese rom which, while containing more levels, is noticeably slower in its first part...
A quick rom edit would've perfected the game by mixing both.
Also where the hell are the options and stage select screens on these roms????
On collections such as Namco Museum Megamix, the emulator's engine handeled menus that gave you the choice to either start the game or begin at the desired stage, while having built-in screen settings and sound testing.
They could've at least used the Pac-Man 25th version, that allowed you to continue if you still had credits.
Arcade games were unforgiving and not having basic abilities like this feel lackluster.
Even the stage selection on Pac-Mania is missing, and it was available on the original arcade!
Disappointing collection sadly.
Honestly, I wish Bandai Namco would just up and rerelease Pac-Man World the moment they get the rights to Ms. Pac Man back.
Why can't they just buy the rights?
@@Gemdation Atgames
Wow, I remember playing Pac-Man Battle Royale once a long time ago. I’m surprised to see it here.
When that Cleopactra Background music kicked in, man I just about transcended!
Definitely more excited for Klonoa 1+2 remasters from Bandai Namco next month
I’m so glad there is a discussion regarding the latency on this game, especially the Xbox port. I played the Xbox port via gamepass and genuinely could not believe how much latency those games have. The OG Pac-Man imo is just unplayable on the Xbox version and I quickly went to Pac-Man 99 for my fix
Every version has it
Isnt´s aceptable this input lag, the games are unplayable...
Not only that, you have no dip switches where you can adjust the lives, no speed hack for Pac-Man, plus pacmania has a stage select and continue feature removed
What I was most excited for was Pac-Man Arrangement for consoles (I played this one on the psp collection), and two of the obscure Pac-Man Wii Exclusive games for other obscure Wii Collections (essentially collection-ception lol)
The reason why switch games are more is because cartridges are more expensive to develop than disks.
Game Maker's Toolkit tweeted a clip of your video with some criticism of it. Expect more negative comments soon.
I don't know why he unlisted it but he made a response video about that when it happened: th-cam.com/video/mRXv7Gdt67A/w-d-xo.html
I would love to see a Pac-Man World remake collection like what they did with Crash, including all the 3 Pac-Man World games + Pac-Man World Rally, sadly, this will never happen.
Well dude,i think you're veeeery wrong (Pac man world re pac OMG)
@@HGHLTE TF I JUST SAW THIS LMAO
I wish they expanded on the arcade part, but that's just me. The selection is great, and the achievements has spurred me to wanting to get good at pac man so badly. I just wish they would also give more attention to the other arrangement titles like dig dug and galaga arrangement which is some of namcos best arcade games. Also wish they would give some of the pac man world games some love.
I’ve gotten used to the input delay and both of the arrangement games as well as the remix games from the Namco collection on wii were what sold me the most. I just hope they do add more customizations for games like with input delays and dip switch settings as an update.
I also hope that they add DLC of the other Pac-Man Namco Remix games, get some of the royalties over with and add Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Jr. games in the future. Maybe then they could add co-op back again in the newer 3D Pac-Man Arrangement with Ms. Pac-Man. Also the fact that excluding Pac-Man Championship DX instead of having both versions instead of the regular lesser one is a crime.
It’s a longshot that Pac-Man: Adventures In Time (NOT to be confused with Pac-In-Time), New Adventures, and the World trilogy would ever be included, but if it would ever happen, it would up the price, but still be worth it.
tldr; I’m having a lot of fun just playing my childhood and getting used to the delay, but I hope they fix stuff and add more as DLC aside from royalties with AtGames.
I hope this game sells well enough to warrant all that period.. and if we get dlc, I hope it’s not JUST ms. Pac man because as much as I would buy it to support her I have it for my gamecube twice on a namco museum collection and in pac man world 2
For anyone who hasn't noticed, they finally updated it. It's playable now
What did the update improve?
I appreciated the extra amount of detail in this review! Super helpful!
Thank you for noticing the input lag. I couldn't believe youtubers were reviewing this game and just completely ignoring it acting like the game wasn't a total ripoff
Tbh I didn’t notice too much input delay but games like super pac man can be pretty tough when you’re trying to quickly go into maze sections while going fast.
You made me remember the pac man show again -.-
New thumbnails have some elements very similar to Good vibes gaming thumbnails lol. Specifically the arrow
You can actually bring up a normal game list by pressing the +/menu/options button in the arcade.
Pac Man Royale. I remember that and wanted a console release for years since.
Got it on the Xbox Gamepass, and even tho I really enjoy me some Pac Man, it kinda felt underwhelming? I dunno what I was expecting, as it is just a Pac Man Collection. But I think the way the game just puts you into that preset arcade area, and those 500 coins just being there at the start, threw me off a little. Might just be my impression tho.
I remember I played Pac-Man Battle Royal on my old Ipad. One of the first games I ever played.
Fun Facts :(1) Pac Motos is Based on Motos Arrangement released through Namco Museum Vol 2 in Japan on the PSP.
(2) Pac Man Arrangement for the PSP has a Plus Version on that game as well. Featuring skins from Ms. Pac Man, Garobda, Mappy, ToyPop, DigDug II, and The Tower of Duraga(which also got an anime series).
(3) Pac Man Battle Royale has almost 5 to 7 Casino Counterparts where people battle for money.
(4) Pac Man Championship Edition had a World Championship back when it first came out brought to you by Quiznos, and there was a Pac Man Documentary that aired on the History Channel going into the background of the event and or the developnent of the game.
I remember Pac in Time being a lot better after the first world. Each world has its own level style... it's a combination puzzle/platformer, and some worlds are mostly logic puzzles and others are mostly platform jump-and-shoot. I remember the puzzle element of the levels being what really made the game fun because you had to beat the level a certain way and it took time to figure it out.
14:43 That much is true about the d-pad on the ProCon, But whenever I play Pac-Man CE, I *_have_* to use the d-pad on the joycon grip. For a game like that, that is a must!
I played this collection and got confused when I saw 2 pacman arrangements, one that I remember loving and the other being a weird 3d flash looking game
Oh I played it on xbox, the only games that had major lag issues were pac in time and pac mania
And that was on xbox one
I like the arcade decor thing, wish all came collections had that makes it feel like ur working for something
Pacman CEDX + the all you can eat pack. should've been included but it's definitely an amazing experience with all other titles included, the original championship edition is a very good bonus
In the Xbox version, you can pull up the game list by 'start' button (the three line button).
I'd never heard of Pac in Time before. The footage reminds me of those games you got bundled with your flip-phone in the mid-noughties, which are kind of lost to history these days.
HEY COMMENTERS, DON'T START DEBATING ABOUT THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
depending on which side you're on, this might have just backfired on you
I'm glad other people other than myself are noticing the input delay on some of these games. I think it's at its worst in Super Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, and especially Pac-Mania and Pac-Land. In Pac-Mania, I immediately notice it when Pac-Man takes too long to output a jump... and I know I won't survive the later rounds with that shit. And in Pac-Land, I swear it's impossible to jump over this long body of water where you're required to repeatedly tap the "Move right" button or stick. (I have the Switch version btw)
I don't notice it as much in the other games, though. I'm a little dubious on Pac-Man Arrangement '96, but I've been able to play it well.
You're better off getting the Arcade Archives ports of Super Pac-Man, and Pac-Land. WAY more options with gameplay and I know for a fact that at least that version of Pac-Land's input delay is lower.
Try going through a boost and turning while boosting. You'll notice it
@@uhhh_adam I might've noticed that, actually. I guess I also adapted to it as well since I'm very familiar with the game's mazes at this point, heh.
That said, I swear it seems like I'm getting some dropped input in Pac-Man Arrangement '96. Sometimes Pac-Man will miss a turn despite the fact that I was pressing the stick in that turn well in advance. It happens sporadically as well.
Wii Tanks Guy is Grobda Guy when discussing Namco
Never knew why Ms. Pac-Man wasn't in Museum+ until now
I guess maybe that can also be a reason why we might not get a Pac-Man World collection right now because she's in the first and third game
Well this was short lived
Wasn't aware of input delay in this collection, might rethink on buying this game or wait for it to go on sale, since that definitely makes or breaks fast-paced games like this for me. Read some Steam reviews and it seems it isn't just exclusive to Switch or Xbox either, so take of that what you will.
What's the song in the background?
1. How much is the lag on a normally-well HDMI to VGA adapter plugged into a CRT VGA? A couple of the stuff I tested was equal to the nearest frame.
2. You didn't mention if Battle Royale could be played head to head online or not. That's kind of important considering the Xbox 360 version didn't have head to head online.
The bunny with sunglasses is a very generous score for this collection.
I hope that Namco will add a pixel perfect mode in a future update:)
Not to mention fix the after mentioned input lag and other issues
You mentioned the lack of a list to select between games without walking up to a cabinet which you can do but pressing the + button
Maybe one day they can have a patch to fix some of these issues? It seems like a solid collection and I would definitely play if they ironed out some of the problems mentioned.
I personally am having a blast with this game but for everyone else’s sake: Let’s hope so.🤞
Kinda want to see you review all of the namco arrangement games now.
Ngl the only reason I got this game was so I could play the arcade version of arrangement again. I used to have classic collection cabinet at my local movie theater, but it got removed years ago since people stopped going there ig.
13:15 I find that shit so funny since they went out of their way to change Ms. Pac-Man, Pac Jr, and the baby but couldn’t bother to change the text.
Yeah, I bought this game on Switch. Namco should have added Tate mode support for games that used vertical monitors. It sucks because those pacman games that have been available by Hamster Arcade Archives have had it since release. Hopefully they add support soon. It took a while for Namco Museum to get it.
What's the name of the Background music at 0:40?
I don't see shimmering on the 360 version.
One thing I don't like is the fact there's no full screen scaling though, I need to use the TV's zoom features for every game except C.E.
Honestly the only other things this collection really needs aside from no more input lag is having Ms. Pac-Man back, as well as Pac-Man Jr., Maze Madness, Adventures of Time, and maybe Championship Edition DX+. Aside from those though, idk what else you’d add apart from the Pac-Man World games, but those IMO deserve their own game. Online multiplayer would be nice too. Also bring back the multiplayer for Pac-Man Arrangement CS!
I’d like multiplayer for arrangement console in the future but I don’t think it will be for museum plus. I can only imagine how much work that would be for a regular patch. Sorry if I sound pessimistic.
wish they had settings for difficulty and lives. especially for Pac-Man Arrangement (1996).
I just really want to see Pac-man world 2 again
Ms. Pac-man is actually in pac-man museum plus, in pac-man arrangement (psp) in the credits (I'm not sure if she comes up in multiplayer or if she is pac-mom there)
At least we got the Namco Museum Megamix exclusive games.
My arcade used to have a Battle Royale but it was replaced by some remake of the original game called Ticket Mania or something that used the Ghostly Adventures design on the cabinet.
Nothing against OG Pac-Man gameplay, but I played Battle Royale *every time I went* and it just disappeared like nothing, I was pretty young at the time and it was really upsetting
I really wish they would port the Pacman world trilogy, I really want to play those again and if they made this collection $30 with them included, I would be fine with that
how about $30 for just the first game
The use of cleopatra from Mrs pac-man maze madness makes me feel good.
Pac In Time is actually a reskin of the obscure Amiga game Fury Of The Furries that was made to act as a sequel to Pac Man 2: The New Adventures.
Playing it now and I love it :-D. But...Pac-Panick is driving me nuts to complete.
But I feel Namco could have included a few more Pac-Man games from the past (excluding those they are in legal BS with);
- Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures = Easy one to include and as it was the sequel to Pac-Land, it fits.
- Professor Pac-Man = An arcade obscure game in the franchise but again, easy to include.
- Some more of the Namco Museum Remix games from the Wii would have been fun to have included.
I really hope they fix a number of these problems in a patch, though mostly performance and technical hiccups. I recently got this on Switch for about half price and during the one time I played Pac-Mania, there was an audio glitch during my first play though, which didn't stop until I quit out of that game.
This would've been a great collection if it wasn't for all these issues. It could've even been a better collection than its predecessor we got over 10 years ago for Pac-Man's 30th anniversary. But I guess it really comes down to how much all of this is a bother to you. This collection and Sonic Origins both deserved to be better than what they turned out, but at least Namco had the decency to not remove all of their previous digital releases of Pac-Man that are already featured in this one.
I think the wrord you're looking for for the Pac Man platformer is "2d collectathon."
If you want a Switch controller with a good D-Pad, look up the 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2. It's superb.
I actually just recently received the playstation 4 version of this game and overall it is absolutely worth owning already I've already completed Pac-Man arrangement both the 1996 and 2005 versions and those where both very enjoyable for me to fully playthrough them both just to see what they had to offer also I just discovered that in terms of the 1996 version of Pac-Man arrangement viewing the model of the cabinet used
Turns out to actually be a namco classic collection volume 2 cabinet witch I found that to be very interesting and I can't get over how adorableilly wholesome the style for the 2005 version of the game was from the moment I started that game I was immediately charmed by how adorable Pac-Man and the ghosts looked also during the credits sequence of that game I noticed that they forgot to remove ms Pac-Man
I saw her during one of the pictures and was shocked to see that at least one of the titles still included her dispite all of the other games that featured appearances from her where completely changed I also got this compilation mainly because of Super Pac-Man Pac-Land
Pac and Pal and also Pac mania overall this compilation was definitely worth adding to my collection of Pac-Man game's
My local cinema got rid of the pac man battle royal cabinet and I've been mad ever since
Very informative video. I really care about "small" details like those. It's good to notify people about the spesfics
That new intro is clean!
Pac’n’roll actually has quite a few differences from pac’n’roll remix, the story is gone, there is no ghost world, but the final world is expanded upon from the final level stage in pac’n’roll remix
Can you review Sonic Origins after it comes out? This was a pretty good video and I would love to see your thoughts on that collection
3:01 I did not know that this game was on the PS1!
16:00 I dunno. Have you tried pressing the + button?
When can we get the ps1 namco museums that has the 1st person museum ported to switch. I would pay full retail for that
I'm always happy to get a collection of games, but I wish this had more "museum" to it, however it really does some confusing stuff. For example, it looks like any reference to the Midway-produced games are out: Ms Pac, Jr Pac, Baby Pac, Professor Pac. But we still get the character figures that reference these games - renamed to Pac-Mom, Pac-Boy, Pac-Sis, and of course... Professor Pac?
Also apparently somehow Pac-Man gets to use the Midway arcade cabinet artwork. But, the Japanese Namco cabinet and artwork for Pac-Man / Puck-Man are nowhere to be seen. I checked the screenshots of the Japanese version and that also uses the US version of the cabinet, it just strikes me as really odd.
However, Super Pac-Man is in some made-up cabinet artwork, with the distinctive shape of its cabinet gone, and the artwork for Pac-Land also doesn't fit the Pac-Man shaped cabinet - all the arcade games are apparently conversions of an original Pac-Man cabinet including the 4P Battle Royal with one joystick, as mentioned in the video.
And hey, I get that there had to be some sort of presentation put together working around what they could use with the various trademarks and copyrights in play, but again where is the "museum" part here? I wouldn't walk away knowing anything more about these games or their history, really.
