I can still remember when this was new, my aunt was working waitress at a restaurant, and she told me about this game. I didn't believe her till one day I took a ride with my uncle and my then baby cousin to her workplace, and I finally got to see and play it. I actually liked it quite well.
Fun fact: Only the international releases of Namco Museum Volume 2 for the PS1 featured Super Pac-Man, as the Japanese version instead featured Bomb Bee and Cutie Q. The arcade version has also appeared in other compilations, including plug and plays, and a version even appeared in Namco Museum Remix/Megamix.
Wow, I had absolutely no idea this version existed. It really should get more time in the spotlight because this is a unique spin on the Pac-Man formula without changing too much of anything,
@@reillywalker195 Most Namco compilations up to Namco Museum 50th Anniversary would include Ms. Pac-Man instead. But due to the rights of Ms. Pac-Man being surrendered to the original creators after a lawsuit, Super Pac-Man became more widely available starting with the original Pac-Man Museum.
The J2ME Deluxe version reminds me of Pac-Mania. In the second season of the 80’s “Pac Man” cartoon, Super Pac Man was introduced. He could fly, have eye beams, and a big appetite. When using his Super Power Pellet no ghost could stop him, but he couldn’t stop himself afterwards. It was then up to Pac Man to use SPM’s “time warp space hole” to get SPM inside it (which then neutralized the Super Power Pellet’s effects).
I expect we'll see more of this game now that Bandai Namco is in dispute over the rights to Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man. I quite like it, too, so I won't complain if my expectations are correct.
there were so many java phone versions. one of the best ones, which i can't find , had a special option with 4 new mazes, that would have easily been the sequel for it. they also had 4 new powerups, that were similar to pac n' pal. i'm still looking for it, because the java emulators could run it. later -1
I've probably played the 5200 version the most. I've only seen an actual cab of this once during the 80's. It was at a Sears store in an alcove beneath the escalators.
What was great about the PS1 port, along with a number of other games via Namco Museum, was that you could set the game to run in its original vertical orientation, like the arcade game. You just had to rotate the TV or monitor onto its side physically.
Super Pac-Man for the 5200 is a great looking port, such a shame it wasn't released; the only issue I really have with it is the Power Pellet timer is far shorter than in the Arcade
J2ME deluxe version of super pac man resembles pac mania but In polygonal 3D, ½ frame character animation scroll, 3d pixel arts And maximum 2² zoom-out
That is probably an emulation problem. It plays significantly better than that on my 286. It also supports a composite mode which on the proper setup uses the phantom CGA color pallet and doesnt look like a hot dog stand.
Leaving aside the arcade-perfect ones (PS if you play in Tate mode, and Win98) it's IMO a toss-up between Atari and C64. Worst one is PC-DOS... I guess being a choppy mess isn't bad enough, they also had to throw in that obnoxious beeper music.
@Diskun Just tried for myself with Exodos (don't ask) and though their setup usually allows for choosing of graphics adapters and sound cards there were no such options for this game so looks like EGA can't be accessed as you said. Not that Mobygame's EGA screenshots look much better mind you. For 1989 this seems to be a very poor release.
@Diskun I'll take a look, thanks. EDIT: It does look nice, especially for a fan-project (albeit unfinished) and runs rings around the official DOS release even in its unfinished state. That said, these things all have a place in history but at the end of the day we have many options nowadays for playing the original arcade game and I would rather play it that way.
The "Super" part is when Pac-Man eats a super pellet to become Super Pac-Man. As Super Pac-Man, he gains invincibility, faster movement speed, and the ability to eat doors.
Ah, Super Pac-Man- Namco's _official_ sequel to Pac-Man (Ms. Pac-man was a originally a hack of Pac-Man that gained an official release through Midway). That DOS port though- yikes. 1989? Really?

12:03 This is the closest we'll ever get to a Super Pac-Man Arrangement.
True
and it would probably be on the DS judging by the quality
Nah it's Super Pac-Mania
The TRUE Pac-Man sequel.
Not as good of a sequel as Ms. Pac-Man
@@SuperHyperRed or Pac & Pal
What about Jr. Pac-Man?
@@ErnestoTheCyanRabbitJr. Pac-Man isn’t made by Namco, but as far as I can tell, it’s a sequel of Ms. Pac-Man
Mrs.Pac-Man isn't owned by namco so I guess you're correct

It's been included in _Pac-Man Museum +_ which was released recently, so Namco obviously still cares about the game.

@@X2011racer I'm aware of the rights dispute. I suspect that's why _Super Pac-Man_ has been getting put out more since that started.

Super pac mania
Cool, also there was a Pac-Mania java game with the same graphics so I imagine that's why...
this is such an interesting game, wish it got more recognition though. great comparison as always!

Probably my favorite early era Pac Man spinoff.
Thank you!🎉🎉

Super Pac-Man for the 5200 is a great looking port, such a shame it wasn't released; the only issue I really have with it is the Power Pellet timer is far shorter than in the Arcade
With the Commodore 64 version, it has the exact opposite problem (at least in the first level). It lasts for an entire 60 seconds
The 5200 is just a consolized Atari 8-bit.
12:05: Super Pac Mania
My Dad's favorite Pac-Man game.
Retrosutra. Can You Make the Versions Comparison of Pac-Attack?
Since it came out, I'm still wondering if this game is actually inspired or not. I can't solve this dilemma.

Hey at 7:27 you got the description wrong, it's playstation, not windows
Fixed! Thanks
@@retrosutra And the PlayStation version was released in 1996.
The only Pac-Man game I ever rolled over in the arcade.
Damn, that PC-DOS version was fugly. 😝
Why PC-Dos is laggy?
geez
that DOS version
That is probably an emulation problem. It plays significantly better than that on my 286. It also supports a composite mode which on the proper setup uses the phantom CGA color pallet and doesnt look like a hot dog stand.

Para mí la mejor versión de Súper Pac Man,es la de Arcade,saludos desde Chile🇨🇱.
Greetings from America
12:03 is more like *Super Pac-Mania*
Can you do Pac and Pal or burgertime next.
Didn’t this game have a move faster button that makes Pac-Man move stupid fast?
Yes, I was wondering why none of the footage here makes use of that.
It is unforgivable that I forgot about this feature, I am very sorry.
Do Tetris Game comparison, retrosutra
Super pac man arrangement 12:13
Seeing Pac-Man with eyes back in the 1980s must've been frightening. Not including the covers for the arcade machines, of course.
6:24 Fried eggs?
Arcade used to be one of my favorite game
Замечательно, мой друг!
Спасибо огромное!

タカラゲームパソコン（ソード）M5版てカシオ版とそっくりだったのか！

プレイステーション版は海外のみ、か。残念！
I like the J2ME (Deluxe) version. They should remake this version for other video game consoles.
0:00 COOL MUSIC
Now I'm sad that the Apple // never got a version of Super Pacman when I was a kid...!
Super Pac-Man is so cool
One day will get a super PAC-MAN arrangement
The ghosts look weird sometimes
On C64 and DOS, the apples turn into... fried eggs?! Maybe this was the inspiration to South Korean Hyper Pacman, on which this is what he eats most.
And Colecovision SGM???? There is not here?!?!
How to lag computers
Actual Computers: Complex 3D rendering
PS DOS: 6:33
As sacrilegious as it is to say, I actually find this more fun than the original Pac-Man. I'm also a lot better at this than regular Pac-Man.
I see a game!
of pacman
Then a rename again! It's called Power Pac and Packn
Pac Man's eating that drip
Why is the gameplay like a fever dream
6:26 how do you make something run so poorly. i've seen games run better on milk cartons.
This is the only pac-man game im good at ;-;
It's a fantastic one to get good at
The J2ME (deluxe) version looks like pac mania + super pac man
This is basically pac man but on the drugs mario is on
this video should have alot of likes you guys are doing no crap to this video
Only the Game Boy Color has Super Pac-Man. I wish they could put for the SNES, GBA and more.
Make a berzerk versions comparision and spy vs spy versions comparision
yes
Big Pac is indestructible

pac-man eats eggs
The Sound in Windows version is Low Pitched
Sound like PAL version

watch pinky.
yeah pinky had brain damage (or a seizure)
A little sad that the unreleased Atari prototypes were among the better ports of this game.
Leaving aside the arcade-perfect ones (PS if you play in Tate mode, and Win98) it's IMO a toss-up between Atari and C64. Worst one is PC-DOS... I guess being a choppy mess isn't bad enough, they also had to throw in that obnoxious beeper music.

Super pac man... arrangement?
The PC DOS Ver. is similar to the C64 Ver.
I’ve been playing arcade super Pac-Man
3:21 it’s sounds like a 8 bit
