Description Source:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man
Pac-Man (パックマン, Pakkuman?) is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980.[1][2] Immensely popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is considered one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture.[6][7][8][9] Upon its release, the game-and, subsequently, Pac-Man derivatives-became a social phenomenon[10] that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and a top-ten hit single.[11]
When Pac-Man was released, the most popular arcade video games were space shooters, in particular Space Invaders and Asteroids. The most visible minority were sports games that were mostly derivative of Pong. Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new genre and appealing to both genders.[12] Pac-Man is often credited with being a landmark in video game history, and is among the most famous arcade games of all time.[13] The character also appears in more than 30 officially licensed game spin-offs,[14] as well as in numerous unauthorized clones and bootlegs.[15] According to the Davie-Brown Index, Pac-Man has the highest brand awareness of any video game character among American consumers, recognized by 94 percent of them.[16] Pac-Man is one of the longest running video game franchises from the golden age of video arcade games, and one of only three video games that are on display at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. (along with Pong and Dragon's Lair).
GAME PLAY
The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating pac-dots. When all dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage, between some stages one of three intermission animations plays.[18] Four enemies (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) roam the maze, trying to catch Pac-Man. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. Pac-Man is awarded a single bonus life at 10,000 points by default-DIP switches inside the machine can change the required points or disable the bonus life altogether. Near the corners of the maze are four larger, flashing dots known as power pellets that provide Pac-Man with the temporary ability to eat the enemies. The enemies turn deep blue, reverse direction and usually move more slowly. When an enemy is eaten, its eyes remain and return to the center box where it is regenerated in its normal color. Blue enemies flash white before they become dangerous again and the amount of time the enemies remain vulnerable varies from one stage to the next, but the time period generally becomes shorter as the game progresses. In later stages, the enemies don't change colors at all, but still reverse direction when a power pellet is eaten.
Enemies

The enemies in Pac-Man are known variously as "ghosts" and "monsters".[19][20][21] Despite the seemingly random nature of the enemies, their movements are strictly deterministic, which players have used to their advantage.[22] In an interview, creator Toru Iwatani stated that he had designed each enemy with its own distinct personality in order to keep the game from becoming impossibly difficult or boring to play.[23] More recently, Iwatani described the enemy behaviors in more detail at the 2011 Game Developers Conference. He stated that the red enemy chases Pac-Man, and the pink and blue enemies try to position themselves in front of Pac-Man's mouth.[24] While he claimed that the orange enemy's behavior is random, a careful analysis of the game's code reveals that it actually chases Pac-Man most of the time, but also moves toward the lower-left corner of the maze when Pac-Man is facing a certain direction. - เกม

Thanks for this video. Pac-Man's kind of a basic benchmark for any machine; it's like testing a diner by ordering a cheeseburger. Amazing that no system got the sound right until the N64. Though it is surprising how close some of the old machines come to the original overall, including the Intellivision and Coleco Vision.
That's probably because Pac-Man's arcade cabinet used a wavetable synthesizer(!) to produce sound. Suffice to say that wouldn't be equaled until the SNES but no one made a port for that system so...
Fun fact: The Gameboy and Gameboy Color versions had a mode whereby you could see the whole screen (no contemplated scrolling). I think you needed to press on the players select screen (before starting the game).
The version on the N64 is actually the same one as in Namco Museum for the N64 and Dreamcast, and in Pac-Man World 1 for the PS1.

Haha it's better than booyah and woomy

@@ciarandaragh8676 Yes she does
In the fall of 1981, in a bar in NW Illinois, at like 2:30
in the morning, after 4 hours 27 minutes of game play, I encountered
this screen for the 1st and only time. It was unknown (at least by me)
at the time, and caught me unawares. It was only my 2nd life. Obviously I
lost all my lives there. Ended with 3,133,280 points. Won a case of
beer, and a place in the local gamer's Hall of Fame.
No one is going to mention the fact that all of these versions are in mono (like the original arcade). Part of what was fun about upgrading to newer consoles was the addition of more channels (NES=mono, SNES=stereo, GC/PS=PLII, PS2=5.1)
While the Gameboy had no color and had to scroll, it incorporated stereo. I've always felt the GB had a decent sound chip (for MIDI music) and offering stereo was always fun with headphones.
This one is currently being remade. But I'm still having issues getting some of the footage I need.
What’s The Theme Song In The Opening Of The Video? 0:00
windows mobile sin: at the start of the game, blinky kind of connects to inky, but immediately goes out, then inky goes to pinky's spot and connects with pinky, THEN, goes to clydes spot to get out of the chamber but immediately moves to the chamber entrance/exit and get's out. THEN it goes out normally.
I watched this when I was a little kid! Nostalgic!
This is so nostalgic I still remember my pacman fase from when I was five
No matter what version, the arcade version is and will always be the best.
Agreed.
How To Download Yup
No doubt.
Seems that the Nintendo GBA version looked and sounded closer to arcade than most of the consoles.
i think the ios version is better than the arcade version because some things are improved
Yeah it is the best so far
There are literally over 70 versions out there & that isn't counting the clones. I'm thinking about remaking this one some time in the future. Hang tight ;)
even the atari hackers are better than the company studios.
That's a bad sign.
When PacMan was being developed for the 2600 initially, the two programmers were given 3 months to make it for an underpowered console on a 4KB ROM.
Nowadays they give themselves more time, have actual development tools, and now know ways to get more memory... Most importantly, that memory isn't $1000 per megabyte!
Sulfurousdhkz coz Co a
yeah why did they have to make the atari 2600 pac-man game so bad?
PAC man followed by e.t. Two bad games released in 1982.
I like how you put the Pac-man collection theme song in the beginning. It really does capture the history.
The Great Video Game Crash of 1983 at 1:02.
+All Access Gaming It was not just pacman, but that horrid e.t.
Robert White I know E.T. was also the cause of the GVGCO '83. That game is the freakin' worst ever!
UltraMaster2O1 Studios But theres another one,that frickin mario bros from atari 2600
you mean princess rescue that is a demake you fucking idoit
I'm 13 years old
I don't even know where to start with the 2600 version of Pacman. I was 9 years old when my Mom bought it for my older brother. The next day we brought it back to the Caldor store. Where do we start? Pacman can't even make turns. The ghosts constantly flicker and seem to change locations on the maze. You don't eat dots. You eat lines. The sounds are awful! Pacman eating sounds like, Dank! Dank! Dank! You didn't eat fruit either. You know what that square was that you eat in the center screen? Well the manual referred to it as a vitamin. What? Really? The development of Pacman on 2600 was similar to E.T. In that it was rushed to the market to capitalize on the fame of the product. This was made even more evident when the superior looking Mrs Pacman was released on the 2600. Suddenly all the things wrong in Pacman 2600 were fixed in Mrs Pacman 2600. Why? Because they were given more time to develop the game.
Caldor....lol
It's so cool seeing how many variations there are on the arcade classics!
man, this video is classic! i watched this like 8 years ago and i finally found it again. this video is literally how i found out about atari, commodore, zx spectrum, etc. thanks for teaching me about old video game consoles, lol.
You should see the newest video. It has 100 versions. Let's Compare ( Pac-Man ) THE MEGA VIDEO. :)
It's worth noting that there was a clone for the apple 2 called "taxman" although it's supposed to be a clone, it's actually complete conversion of pac man for the apple 2, guess they couldn't get the licensing from midway so just disguised it, but apart from that, there is no official version of pac man for the apple 2 as far as I know
Nice avgn reference
Tzg8dkfugiy
Sounds like they saw the chance to make a reference to The Beatles in the title and ran home with it.
Actually the code for taxman was purchased to make the official Apple II port. Yes, there is one.
I don't think anybody can deny that Atari 2600 had the worst version of all. Heck, even the GB version in black and white looked and sounded better, although GBA seems way off in terms of sound.
That said, back then we didn't have a whole lot of money, and so it was Atari 2600 all the way for us. And we played the hell out of all those games we owned, including their Pac-Man version. I've grown quite fond of the ugly blue shade and the odd munching sound, but it's also somewhat nostalgic as well.
If I hadn't seen it before now, I probably would avoid it like the plague. But having grown up with it, it's got a sort of charm that calls out to me once in awhile. Heck, even Atari's version of ET can grown on you when there is nothing else to play.
*COUGHCOUGHCOLECOCOUTABLETOPCOUG*
QK IS THAT mega man 8 on your profile picture
I wonder why you're not at top or highlighted!? :)
To be honest I agree. I don't do well with Original PacMan on Atari 2600. The hack is much, much better.
That's because the GameBoy came out almost 20 years later and had much better development tools and was a far more powerful device than the 2600 ever was!
The GameBoy has twice as much RAM as the 2600 can address in total without extra hardware.
Watching this brought back a few memories. For one the terrible atari 2600 version as a kid. The atari 5200 version had this thing that once you reached the 5th key and ate a power pellet the ghosts turned blue and never changed back from that level on, so you could play forever. The Coleco tabletop version, I still have one in a closet downstairs along with Donkey Kong and Frogger. The Frogger is still in the box in mint condition.
4:40 creepy ass paceman saying BUTTON in a deep voice :O
i can't believe how I fooled myself into thinking the 2600 version was fun. It was not. It was crap. 50 bucks we will all never get back.
+Jesus Saves If you fooled yourself into thinking it was fun, it was fun.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. 😷
I'm surprised the flickering ghosts didn't cause any epileptic seizures.
Two things Jesus doesn't like:
1. People selling merchandise and profiting off of religion
2. Shitty Pacman ports
I wasn't fooled. I knew it was crap, but we played it anyway.
OMG that table top version brings back so many feelings of jealousy and envy. I used to call them "mini arcades". I always wanted one of those especially when I would see kids that brought them to school and played with them at recess. My parents would never get me them because they said they were overpriced junk. In the end they were right. I still would have played the crap out of it as a kid though.
12 years later and this still hits me into nostalgia
Thanks for putting the time and effort into making these. I love looking at retro gaming on different platforms.

0:16 text: there are literally over 170 versions of pac-man out there
me: OMG!!!!!!!
Couldn't have said so myself better :)
The only think I like to add is that there were a lot of companies involved, including our national company Philips, and that the system consisted in fact of 4 generations: MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ and Turbo-R.
The 2600 homebrew hack is what it could of been, and better. Mrs. Pacman was a GREAT port for the 2600, and if you want pacman for it, do the homebrew hack pacman 2600.
😝 crazy version
Still a very true classic...Every port had his specials (except Atari 2600 bad version thats the bad sheep)

i liked it how the classic gameboy has a dynamic camera
I never realised how many bad conversions of Pac-Man were out there. And the unbelievable score you got on the Windows mobile version is incredible (I do mean unbelieveable) lol

Pac-Man world next
Okay guys, here are my recommended versions of the original Pac-Man:
NES
GBC (Special Color Edition, with Pac-Attack)
PSX (Namco Museum Vol. 1, with Japanese Puck-Man border surrounding game)
N64 (Almost practically the same as the Namco Museum Vol. 1 game)
GBA (Part of Pac-Man Collection, small-screen emulation version of Pac-Man and full screen)
And, that's pretty much it! Look for these versions and I wish you happy eating (and not getting eaten by ghosts.)
It would have been smarter if they did scores on the right of the screen and game on the left of the screen like they did with their other arcade conversions for the PSX rather than the distracting border.
Thank you, I got to see versions for systems that I never knew existed.
aw man, watching this is such a throwback
Good versions:
Arcade
commodor 64
MSX
Gameboy (advance too)
Game Gear
windows mobile
NES
Most are ok or horrible.
That's funny because the Atari 5200 version is almost identical to the commodore 64 version.
And the Amstrad is almost identical to both of them
ColecoVision was also pretty good. Intellivision wasnt great but it was still good for the hardware it was on
good ones to me are arcade, nes, msx, gg, gba game boy
IM only here to say, Thanks man, for this videos of "Let's compare"
I remember the 2600, it was a disaster from hell. It looked like an unfinished prototype, and that's probably what it was.
I forgot how bad the 2600 version was
it's not bad
Firelock the atari 2600 is better lel
Atari gave the programmer $1,000,000 in advance to port the game. He wasn't a fan of the original, so the asshole hack did the least he could and have a finished game. Blame Atari for not even reviewing the game and demanding changes.
Well. The rom hack of pac man for atari 2600 was better than the original atari 2600 version.
Crazy version
the 1980 (original) is iconic.....the graphics looks better than nowadays arcade games
I used to watch this all the time when I was 4 cuz I had pac man on my ipad and I loved it XD
I actually played an original cabinet version of Pac-Man in Charlston, the screen was all blurry but it was a novelty that the thing still worked all these yeaers. I found it in a beach town, and in an 80s store. Ironically, the 80s store also had 90s and even 2000s merch!
Its strange no 16 bits system has a version of this classic
"Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures" actually has a secret Pacman game in it if you enter a code in the password menu.
+GermanPeter YEAH ITS AWESOME
Not really. In the 16 bit era, Pac Man and clones thereof where largely considered to be old hat and were largely the preserve of public domain clones. Namco had moved onto versions like Pac Mania and spin offs like Pac Land. Though an interesting exception would be that I think Ms Pac Man got a fairly late release on the Megadrive/Genesis IIRC.
In Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures for the SNES, in the game you can go in a place with both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man arcade machines in it.
@@sonc07 In the Sega Genesis version, the game Ms.Pac-Man is replaced by Pac Man Jr.
around 4:35 in the video, when Pacman is gobbling up a pellet, it really SOUNDS like he's say F' em.....................
I will still remember this video
Oh my goodness... straight from arcade to Atari. How abysmal by comparison.
Atari rushed the official 2600 port.
The Atari 400/800/5200 were pretty good ports.
Atari ended up losing money on it because many copies were returned for refund by very disgruntled customers. The 2600 port is one of Atari’s historical “black eyes”.
Funny thing is that if not for Atari 2600 , I would have never been I’m introduced to PAC-Man. When I was a child, I played the Atari version a lot.

+J Waughtal Your list is ridiculous. Opcode's ColecoVision is practically identical to the arcade version in both graphics and audio; it is easily the most accurate port of Pac-Man ever made for a home console, and you think the laughable Intellivision port and those other inaccurate ports are better? The N64 version isn't even a port, it is the arcade ROM running on emulation, which means it _is_ the arcade version, yet you rank two inaccurate ports above it, and think the arcade version is better, even though, as I said, it _is_ the arcade version (the arcade version shown in this video is also running on emulation).
+J Waughtal looks about right. granted, the earlier game systems each had limitations in terms of graphics, sound, processing power so it's not a level playing ground.
Actually the GBA is running on emulation too, as is the mobile (android) version.
pac man on tabletop was my first version i ever own in 1980-1981
whoever was responsible for the 2600 version should have been flogged
+PMeursault In all fairness. The version you saw was a prototype & Atari didn't listen to the programmers when they insisted that they continue working on the game. So in reality is was Atari's screw up. Not the programmers.
I actually have a copy. I thought it was just buggy.
The persons responsible for flogging the persons responsible for the 2600 version... have been flogged.
I pre-ordered that travesty back in the day. It was a complete disappointment. They could only render ONE ghost at a time, thus the horrible flickering. Atari kinda got it together with their Ms Pac Man, but... ehhh... Ms Pac Man sucked in any format.
why is it had the company atari lost 1000000000$
MSX is an old computer series from back in the early 80's. It was a single platform that could be produced by any company to make an affordable home PC for home use. Microsoft produced the MSX 8 bit Operating system that was the heart of the computer itself. Most manufacturers were encouraged to find way's to integrate chips if they could to reduce the size, weight, & cost to sell more. It was mildly successful in U.S. Markets but wildly popular in over seas markets.
That last one though holy shit

Also, the Namco Museum collection #1 on the PSX was one of the better ports back in the early 90's. GBA/DS/PSP all have Pac-Man too.
The Atarisoft ;prototype would have trumped the Atari 5200 version by a mile!
Vic-20 version was also programmed by AtariSoft from what I recalled.
I have a DK Coleco TT and Nelsonic Watch if you need video from those I may be able to help. Also, don't forget the 2010 NES (Wii) version with pie factory added, :P
and there's always DK64's hidden arcade port.
the tabletop one is s**t its not the camera its the annoying sounds
The Coleco Table Top is major ear rape xD
the sounds in the second version of pac-man (the game start, the eating pellets and the death sound) are heard near arcade machines in the pac-man and the ghostly adventures video game
Thanks for the fast reply! Love your videos! You always make them such nice quality!

WORST: Coleco Table Top
To be fair. The Coleco table top wasn't that bad. Especially for the time. Granted the game play wasn't fluid like the arcade. I spent a lot of hours playing with it as a kid & enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact ! I still have it to this day. When you compared it to the 2600 ... it was superior as it was more arcade accurate. And .. it looks good on My gaming shelf. ^_^
wingnut4427 Commodore 64 was pretty good but WHY no intermissions? Even the Vic-20 and Intellivision versions had the intermissions.
Correct:
Good: Gamegear, MSX, Arcade, Neo Geo Pocket Color

Well, I'm seemingly on a small island with this viewpoint, but friends and I enjoyed the VCS version. It's an Atari VCS, FFS! Even as young kids we knew it wasn't going to be the arcade game. OK, it's been proven since it could have been better, but still, we found it fun!
When you wanted Pacman 64
but god said:
9:23
Atari 2600 is shit.
everybody says that
because it's true
The Toontastic Toon I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaa yup
ok
Is it just me or does anyone else finds that the eyes make the ghosts from the MSX version look a bit scarier?
There was an amazing Japanese version of Pac-Man on the Macintosh II which I remember vividly as having near-perfect graphics and sound. It didn't seem to be emulation and was probably unofficial. I wonder if I could find a video of that somewhere.
red puyo
what is that 80's sounding synthesizied Pac Man song that plays in the opening? Cool stuff-
Game boy advance
Thanks for posting this excellent comparison clip. I loved the MSX version.
Music is from Pac-Man Collection for Gameboy Advance
My favourite is the NES Version and sounds in the NES Are the best
sad part is.. this isn't all of them. From My research there are around 60 official releases & a little over 100 home brews or hacks in existence. I simply couldn't add them all to this video.
It's a bit sad that it took until the Windows mobile for someone to come up with a decent port of it!
+Hugo QP (MapDark) Thge Namco Museum on the 64 and also other consoles have proper arcade versions.
Thank you ! I'm glad You enjoyed it.
What is the song in the beginning
I have played the original PAC-MAN arcade game, the Atari 2600 VCS original PAC-MAN, the Atari 2600 VCS PAC-MAN hack, the Atari 2600 VCS PAC-MAN 4K homebrew, the Atari 5200 Super System PAC-MAN, the Atari 7800 Pro System PAC-MAN COLLECTION, the Atari 400/800 PHCS PAC-MAN, the Nintendo NES PAC-MAN & the Super Nintendo SNES PAC-MAN 2: THE NEW ADVENTURES in its Arcade Simulation. These are all good games in their own ways, but nothing can ever beat the original arcade video game.
Gaming History Source, I'm amazed at how you can find the Perfect theme for a game.
@stringanime yeah, I'm aware of the one level flash game. But it is playable & it's really only the 1st level I'll be showing anyway. I'm still trying to acquire some more footage from several other platforms. Hopefully I'll be finished with the Donkey Kong remake this weekend. :)
What song played at the beginning of the video?
The Intellivision one is pretty damn good for a 1979 home console.
Yes but unfortunately you had to play it with an Intellivision controller LOL
Good work! :)
