Classic Game Room Pro 4K Hyper Elite plays Pac-Man on Atari 2600! Is Pac-Man on Atari 2600 as bad as you remember it, or is it better now that we're living in the awful dystopian future garbage year of 20XX? Mark digs Pac-Man and Omega Ronin makes a song out of the music. Enjoy! @OmegaRoninMusic #atari #atari2600 #pacman #ataripacman #classicgameroom #cgr2085 #videogames #retrogaming
something feels different about these new episodes that i really like. something about the music and story telling with the gameplay footage just really hits
I’m so glad that CGR is back (again), i grew up watching these videos lol
As much as I love color TV, I can appreciate Mark's story about watching OHMSS in black and white. 😂😂😂
I feel like sometimes Mark just gets drunk and turns the camera on. And I am 100% here for it. 🍻 🍻
😮💨
Insert beer output fun.
That's always been the best part of cgr.
I played the heck out of this game back then. Didn’t care that it wasn’t perfect, it represented well enough and played well plus it didn’t cost anymore quarters!
Reshooting a review in 4K60 solely to make the ghosts visible on Pac-Man Atari 2600...that's the most CGR thing ever :'D
I’d never thought I would live long enough to hear old man Mark rant but here we are
The Pac Man beat rocks!
Glad you are back! I dont know how many people I've heard mention your channel since you've been away. You've been missed. Come back again! 😊👍
I actually pulled out my old copy the other day and I still get sucked into it. It was the first game I ever owned, besides Combat. And yes, OHMSS is a fantastic Bond flick.
Mark do you have a record label, man your tracks are so good! TRUXTON 4 LIFE!!
I actually can't believe I'm watching a new CGR video game review in 2023
Welcome back and thanks for returning. I watch your videos like you're a new TV show. Great to watch awesome reviews and great jokes. It's fun..thank you
pac-man will always hold a special place in my heart as a 7 yr old when Dad & I waited in line for it on release day (Pac Man Day, if I recall) $40. the bleeps & bloops of the game defined my childhood. The game changed my life ;) Thanks CGR!
This game holds memories with me too. Awesome remixed music at the end.😊👍
The return of the goat. My day just got a million times better. This is the most entertaining videogame TH-camr. All hail Mark - all hail the mighty Atari 2600. I have no doubt beer was spilled all over that Jr., and it's still working like new.
Im happy your back reviewing games its the reason I love your channel
Awesome video! And now I’m listening to Omega Ronin!
Really liked this video, and the remix at the end, really good!
This game was hard to get when it came out - I distinctly remember we got to the store just as they were unboxing the case of Pacman games. It was fresh from the box! Although it's a terrible port looking at it now, back then it was the only port for the 2600 and I poured some hours into it.
It's always weird seeing other channels you subscribe to reply to a video. Love your stuff Lon!
Love the 60 FPS! I'd like to see that in future vids!
That’s the 2600 I have! Love the Junior version
Digging that sort of Dreamwave sound to that tune. The larger acceptance of Retrowave as a genre has been really nice to see.
when the omega ronin pac man mix came in at the end at first i started cackling and then i was like damn what a hot beat. 🔥🔥so good 🍻
The audio mixing on this video is immaculate
What a blast from the past, thanks for everything you do Mark! this is making me want to rewatch the Action Button Pac Man review again lol
That composition at the end to good wtf.
The first TV I ever owned was black and white. I think was 10, so 1985ish. It had a "remote" that was actually wired to the TV, it had channel up and down and when you pushed it the channel knob still turned with a loud click. I remember watching Giligans Island and the Jack Benny show on it as well as playing my Atari 2600 on it. Good times.
My favorite CGR video ever!
Superb ending with transition to pac techno! Need to see how to get the 4 ghosts to appear. Yars Revenge had a similar issue with a capture card.
Love your story about On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in black and white Mark, I have seen it multiple times on DVD and Blu-Ray and it is one of the best James Bond movies ( third favourite James Bond movie in my James Bond movie rankings) and it’s way better then any of the Daniel Craig era James Bond movies
People hate on this version so much, but it actually was quite a feat for the amount of memory they were allowed to use and the amount of time before the deadline. The man responsible worked his ass off :P .
It's not a great looking version, but god damn if it doesn't look at least decent.
@@penismightier9278 Yup, later games were really showing that there was still a lot to push from that console.
Atari made very future proof consoles, until Jack Tramiel. One can only guess what the 7200 could have been if it had included that new sound chip they were making, and if it wasn't "marketed far under it's market price as Jack wanted to get rid of it".
I still have a black-and-white television. It's one of those Radio Shack Genexxa (the fancier store brand they came up with in the 1990s to replace "Realistic") TV/Radio combos with a 7" screen. I don't actually use it for anything anymore since most NTSC transmissions in Canada (except for some rural repeater stations and very local indie stations) were shut down a decade ago, it doesn't even have composite inputs, so I can't use it for retro gaming (well, unless I wanted to play via RF), and I have better ways of listening to the radio including my CD Walkman that's also a radio, but I still keep it on my nightstand because I find it to be a comforting presence. For bedroom TVs, I actually found I prefer the ambience of black-and-white over colour.
Is that a Jupiter 8, or is it PAC-MAN on the Atari 2600?
Nicely done on the pacman jam!
Only the finest of displays for the masterpiece that is Pac-Man on Atari 2600!
Is cgr back? I used to watch this on my breaks! I'm excited.
I was planning to look up some old cgr videos and was pleasantly surprised to find new ones.
I actually always thought ET got a bad rap, compared to this port. At least Pac-Man had a template to work with-and people had specific expectations for it-but with ET, it was all hype and no good idea about how bad movie tie-inn games could be, even though Spielberg saidE.T. were a film that “would never be on cable or VHS,” because it was a movie so incredible it couldn’t be rightly experienced outside a theater. That lasted one round of theater re-release.
i really like that mix near the end
I appreciate you're using the 2600 Jr here, despite your love of wood grain. I didn't get mine until the mid-80's, so that's the model I have.
MARK IS BACK
i'm convinced Mark is the older son in the British sitcom My Family
Class
Heh, I can remember watching the "Brought to You in Living Color by NBC" and wondering, "WHAT COLOR?"; we didn't have a color TV until 1975, when I was 13. Now I have 4k HDR and thinking I want to hook up the old 2600 and play some Pac-Man :)
You were right the delay DID sound cool
It's 1980 all over again😎
Takes me back to simpler times👍
Ah, the best version of Pac-Man I see
I wish they didn't try to act like this version of Pac-Man doesn't exist. I would play it if it was on some of the collections. I know the game sucks, but this was the version of Pac-Man I played as a kid. I didn't know it sucked back then.
Dang, the tune hidden at the end, rawrr...
ITS TRUE. THANK HEAVEN!
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
It was my first exposure to Pac-Man at any rate. If anything, the fact the ghost didn't all gang up on you after they left their box while you're still in Power Pellet mode made it easier for a young kid to play.
I came here for the review. I stayed for the dystopian synthwave track at the end....
I am almost certain this is 2K. There are 4K and 8K homebrews of Pacman which are much more faithful reproductions.
RADTASTIC to the MAX
Wow it's crazy hearing voiced reviews again lol!
Why is he using 60fps and 4K? Why do people act like they want 30fps and 1080p from the past on TH-cam to be forgotten?
@@MorganNye idk Morgan. Just enjoy the damn show
@@irregularmana6216 ok….., I’ll have to fragmentate them though.
So true about b&w tvs I'm now 54 born in 69' I was one of the only people in 1977 to have gotten a atari vcs as it was called back then had gotten it for Xmas that year and I still have my heavy sixer from then and I've cleaned it up over the years and looks brand new and still play today but even in 77 when I was 8 I had 2 color tvs one big giant with speaker about 25 " inch back then they were big cabinet tvs and had a 13 inch color and 1 13 inch b&w tv I used the 13" color for my Atari I could not stand to play it on a b&w tv thank God we had a color tv to play it on once in awhile I would take it to lr to play on 25" kind-of lucky kid back then no one I knew had an Atari until at least 79 or 80 the Intellivision came out in 79 but didn't like it cuz of the controller
He’s back 👏
He's back! 🎉
How many times do some of you people don’t even….
Hated this as a kid - absolutely love it as an adult! I decided (10 years ago), to look past the graphics, and give the game play an honest chance. As a result, I learned this is an excellent, fun game! Especially, game 1, set to expert mode.
Yessssssssss he's back
There is a certain charm to this version.
Could you imagine an AI conversion of the original Twilight Zone? That'll be a sad day.
How would you know what “eating ghosts underwater” sounds like?
ngl black and white atari 2600 pacman kind of looking like a horror game to me 😱
Is there still a way to donate games to the show, Mark?
Hey mark
What’s your opinion on the Atari 2600+ thing
You could review a cat turd and I’d tune in. Let’s go!
Go back a couple of years and watch some of the pencil, eraser and paper ✏️📝 reviews. Sounds like it’s exactly what you’re looking for.
My first introduction to pac man was on the Atari 2600.
I know this game gets plenty of flak for being a poor and disappointing conversion, but I have a huge amount of nostalgia for it. When it came out I had never played the arcade game, so didn't have a point of comparison and didn't experience any disappoinment as a result. The sound effects for this game will forever be burned into my brain.
the remix slaps
I’ve waited years for this review…..why aren’t you reviewing the Pac-Man 4K version which looks and sounds just like the arcade
Omega Ronin vs Atari album soon?
I unfortunately also had this version of Pac-Man, although at least I had the good Ms Pac-Man.
The bane of my childhood returns as a retrowave song! Noooooooooooooooooo
Imagination is what I find is missing in games today. I think it’s sad really . Ofcourse you can imagine yourself playing something else I guess. I know I do and go play some 70s arcade games.
Is this video directed by Nicolas Windin Refn?
Obviously no.
Play Pac Man 8K homebrew. is amazing.
Waka-Waka goes _TRUXTON!!_
casually making dank tunes
😂 Mark, how drunk were you when you filmed this?
There's ghosting on your tele 👻👻👻👻
I am also a crazy Uncle Mark
Black and white is the new 8k 😂
I remember when this channel was reviews of cool ass GI Joe comics. What's this video game crap? :P
It's 2023 and I'm still angry about 2600 Pac-Man. What a ripoff. I know Todd Frye only had a 4K ROM to work with, but this game was a complete rip. It's like he never even knew what Pac-Man was. Maybe he only looked at the arcade cabinet art and then created from there.
Oh, and for the record, I thought this video would review the homebrew Pac-Man 4K cartridge for Atari 2600, which is a far closer recreation of the arcade. The 8K version is just about as perfect as you could get from this console. But the actual retail cart we got in 1982? Ugh. What a rip.
wacka-wacka-wacka.
even fozzie bear knew the classics.
nice remix there at the end.
good thing the original cart was also 4k,
back when the memory chip determined how much the game sucked.
I have a stupid amount of nostalgia for this game. yeah, it was an arguably awful port, Ms. Pac-Man 2600 was a legitimate improvement. But the sound effects of this version are engraved into my brain.
I remember a point in the late 1980's and 1990''s when you would hear the Pac-Man 2600 sound effects in random cartoons, and even a few TV shows. Like the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series, the Technodrome computers would have the sound of Pac-Man dying coming out of them. They were just easy stock sound effects to get a hold of.
The 2600 could not render Pac-Man and all four ghosts at once, so it has to swap between two ghosts at a time. But it kinda works, because it gives them a translucent appearance.
Kids love them video wafers
One does not simply play pacman on the 2600 sober
Wokka! Wokka! Wokka!
+1
Color? Pfffff, no thanks, my eyes aren't trying to work that hard.
I don't think the maze is very good, that's the biggest weakness of the game, really. The graphics are fine.
So Mark, any chance of you reviewing the old Armored Core games from PlayStation onwards?
I don't remember the 2600 port looking this bad. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Really? I thought everyone who remembered this game from the drop was horrified when they finally played the game that I remember as the first preorder game in history. My folks had preordered it for me, for Easter. I remember calling the fruit “Bennies,” when I first saw them.
Nostalgia glasses can work both ways, I think. I actually remember it as worse. Either way, “hell of a drug” is spot on, JB.
I read that this version was just a prototype and was suppose to be better than this but was rushed and this is what we got.
@@mechamania I remember seeing and playing it for the first time and being really surprised at how much different it looked, but also kinda accepted that most Atari games looked different from the arcade. But I was also 5 at the time and was happy to play it. About a year or so later I got to play Ms. Pac man and that was much much better.
Nostalgia is obviously not a drug also
I love the newly discovered lore that Mark spilled beer on his 2600 *over 30 years ago* and it still works, minus a sticky switch lol
The Pac is back.
This is a nice video, but I perfer your original CGR HD review.
Hey classic game room, What do you think of the Atari 2600+
In space no one can hear you scream. Which is good when you play PacMan on the 2600. Love the look of the 2600 JR though.
When I got my VCS back in the day, Atari had started including Pac-Man as a throw-in with the console, so since the game was free, I don't dislike it. However, I cannot imagine the disappointment for someone who begged their parents for this game as a Christmas gift.
Ah yes, the version of PAC-MAN where he looks like a chicken nugget with eyes.
Also, that beat mixed with the delayed sound effects is kinda fire!
