Pac-Man has a special place in my heart. My mom, Rest In Peace, couldn’t have cared less about video games. But oddly enough, she loved Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 and got rather good at it.
Thanks for inviting me to guest voice on the video! Stuck the landing at 33:30 in one take! Also the Super Pac parts at around 56:00 take me back to the good old days, playing Super Pac in the kitchen with my cat sleeping on the top of the machine
Neil is there any chance I could get unblocked on your YT channel? I've been watching and commenting on your videos for like four years and only just found out I'm shadow banned. Not sure why. 🤔
There's a Baby PAC-MAN arcade cabinet at Level 257, a little bar-arcade inlet at a mall near where I live! I think the location is actually managed by Namco themselves, so all the units are in pristine condition! Had no idea the game was so rare, it's a really really fun experience!
High five dude, yet another absolute 💯 awesome video, i love these long form videos and the topics you cover. Having said that, i love the og pacman games and got my kids into pacman on my xbox and this little credit card sized game i bought them. Pacman fever has not gone away, its still very strong
High five! I've had an interest in the early arcade sequels for quite a bit myself so it was good to have them all run down in succession here with great attention to detail as usual! Eagerly awaiting part 2.
I can't even begin to imagine the amount of effort needed to make a video of this size and scope and keeping me entertained throughout. Another great video, keep it up Slopes!
My goodness mate..it honestly bums me out that you don't have more subs by now. You put in an insane amount of work and it shows, your research and editing work is incredible. Love your videos. Heres to 'breaking out' in 2021 🙌🙌🙌
Everybody knows Slope for his Kickscammer videos, but his "Complete History Of" series is excellent. My favorite will always be the Daytona USA episode. 5 minute ads? Totally deserved. These are 1 hour long videos with loads of info and effort! He better be getting something in return lol. Hope this series continues!
Hey Slopes! :) I really enjoyed this video, watched it with my partner and even he (with the gaming knowledge of a mini encyclopaedia lol) learned something new! :) The amount of work that goes into these videos must be crazy, you do a fantastic job breaking everything down even for people who don't know a lot like me haha. Really looking forward to Part 2!
Nice to see the Classic Game Room Super Pac Man arcade machine in a video. I held the completely official machine record for high score on that one as of 2017, sadly have not visited the Intergalactic Space Arcade since it got overrun by giant insects until only recently having been brought back to life with flamethrowers.
Isn't it quite funny how much the Japanese Mafia had influences in the Japanese video game history lol so once you get a book made about that you could call it quarters and crime
What makes pacman great is that it is both incredibly simple and incredibly complicated at the same time. At any moment the player has simple choices to make, turn or don't turn. But when you add up all the possible choices and all the possible paths the ghosts can take it's enormously complicated.
40:24 "You see, as soon as you know how to take on each of the four mazes..." This is talking about the original Pac-Man, which has only a single maze. I am guessing that what happened here was the script writer got their games crossed (Pac-Man vs. Ms. Pac-Man) when they were trying to make a point about the drop-off in challenge, but it's still a bit odd that this wasn't caught during recording, editing, or finalizing.
@@papaG6423 : It was a feminist thing in those days. Maybe invented to help women cheat on their husbands? Hm, well I don't know that! Who knows or remembers? hehehehehehe
According to Tod Frye, there was no expectation how to make arcade ports back then as they were the first. He even received a letter once from a kid who was disappointed that arcade Pac-Man wasn’t like Atari VCS. The background was blue because Atari had a rule that said all non-space games were not allowed to have a black background. Tod said in hindsight knowing what he knows now he would have ignored that rule and made it black. The game was initially liked but the biggest complaint Tod said he received was making the tunnels vertical instead of horizontal. Tod has seen the 8k Pac-Man and was really impressed by it. He was especially impressed by the rotating sprite flicker. He had a similar plan but 6 months was not nearly enough time to implement it. Some perspective: the Atari used the MOS 6507, a version of their 6502 used in the C64, Apple II, and NES, but limited to 4k address lines. Early Atari ROMs had 2k ROMs. Some 4k ROMs were coming out which included Pac-Man. 8k ROMs had just become available using bank switching in cartridge. Bigger ROMs had bigger costs of course. The graphics chip was designed to support two player sprites (8 bits wide, one color), two player missile sprites (1 bit wide, same player color), a blocky repeating or inverted play field, and one ball sprite (1 bit wide same as play field color), and CPU had to update the graphics every vertical line, tying up a lot of processing time. It’s goal was to play Pong and Combat, any other game was a bonus. Jay Miner did put in a sprite repeat mode that was manipulated by clever coders while drawing to created sprite scores and other things. Because of the two sprite limit per line, to do more, you cannot always draw all of them every frame, hence why so many Atari VCS games had sprite flicker. Programmers back then had to code assembly by hand and on paper and didn’t often have debugger access. Today, programmers have full dev environments and easy debugging, can choose any ROM size and even banking that adds RAM to the native 128 bytes, and there’s no time waiting for ROMs to burn to test.
Of course there was a video that came out 2 hours before I decided that I wanted to learn Namco history posted by the person I was super excited to see upload again.
Great video. But I have to disagree about the changes in Pac-Man Plus being so minor that they're unnoticeable. The ghosts and Pac-Man move slightly faster, they have little flags on their heads when they change blue, the fruits (or food items) are different, and when eaten they make the ghosts change blue but at the same time they turn invisible which makes it harder to eat them, most times not all the ghosts turn blue when a power pellet is eaten, and sometimes eating a power pellet makes the entire maze disappear. I'd say those are some hard to miss changes.
Wowie! This an excellent video, so thorough, and informative! Big **Thumb Up** for this one hehehehe I still have a question about some details in the making and marketing of the Atari 2600 VCS coin-op conversion, starting with how and/or why Tod Fyre made it that way, so different from the Namco/Bally/Midway original?
I played the Pac-Land arcade machine back in the 90's at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, Michigan. I do remember Pacman being hard to control while running.
Seeing Gee Bee in an arcade is one of my very earliest memories. I only vaguely remembered what kind of game it was, or that it was sitting all on its lonesome while people largely played more space-shooty type games. But I remembered the really, really odd name, with its pre-Pac-Man font, quite vividly. It was a treat to finally play the game decades later (in collections / emulated), as well as to learn it was Namco's very first game. But I didn't know it was Toriyama's.
Pac Man plus is the hidden gem of this video. The small changes really liven up the game without significantly changing the basic formula. There are endless bootlegs that do the same. A real shame that, as far as I know, Pac Man plus has never been released in any of the endless home compilations.
Excellent documentary Slopes! Pac-Man is a true video game icon, and I am a true fan. Excited to catch part 2. The Atari VCS/2600 Pac-Man port may not hold up compared/contrasted to the arcade cabinet original, but it's not such a terrible game either.
I completely forgot about the cereal and pasta. I had the board game and bought one of those metal plates with Pac on it. And the Amiibo. And a few weeks ago I started to play the original game and the SNES version. I'm much better than I used to be. And I liked the 2600 game. This must have been a good bit of research. Thank you.
The president of Atari at the time ordered 5 million cartridges to be produced that would boost sales of the 2600 to match. The unsold cartridges were smashed and ground up into the foundation of their headquarters, a bit like what happened to the ET cartridges.
fun fact: the atari 2600 version is actually playable if you use original hardware on a crt. the ghosts only “teleport” on emulated hardware, due to the ghosts' flickering being made for the hardware of the time. it’s also why they’re called “ghosts” at all. on original hardware, they still flicker, but you will still know when all 4 ghost monsters are at any given time
I always love when a video game company is open to cartoon adaptions of their games and reciprocates by making a video game based on the cartoon or at least gives cartoon only characters cameos. What I really like is how the Pac-Man cartoons come full circle (pun intended only if you want it). Pac-Land is based on the HB cartoon, and features the cartoon's theme song and chase music variation of it. Pac-Mania has at least one piece that slightly homages the Pac-Man theme song. Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures (the second cartoon) uses arrangements from Pac-Mania as background music, including the piece that references the theme song of the first cartoon meaning, at least indirectly, the new cartoon referenced the old one.
When I was growing up I had an Odyssey 2 and I loved K.C. Munchkin. I also loved the sequel which they had to change a bit because Atari of course sued them.
53:27 I actually found 'mastering pac-man' at a local library, it was kinda neat! Ken Uston even figured out how to differentiate between the different arcade versions by just watching the attract mode! (the switch version of namco museum actually lines up with one of the patterns he references in the book!) Ms. Pac-Man is definitely my all time favorite of the maze games, though. (Pac-mania a close second)
Are you talking about their Plow double edged safety razor? If it's cutting you, it's either blade quality or technique, or both. Get some decent quality blades (Gillette, Astra, Wilkinson-Sword, basically any double edged blade on the market is going to be better and cheaper than subscription blades) and watch a bunch of videos about "how to shave with a safety razor." You can't just start whacking away like you do with a cartridge razor or you'll cut the shit out of yourself.
@@RockandrollNegro it’s naturally easy to pick up, I had a fully clean shave my first time, with no cuts or nicks, and I had a thickish beard. 10- mins and I’m done
I believe both Nakamura-san and Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell was so hungover he doesn't remember the meetings. He didn't say they DIDNT happen, just that he can't confirm that they did or didn't.

Get some decent quality blades (Gillette, Astra, Wilkinson-Sword, basically any double edged blade on the market is going to be better and cheaper than subscription blades) and watch a bunch of videos about "how to shave with a safety razor." You can't just start whacking away like you do with a cartridge razor or you'll cut the shit out of yourself.
@@RockandrollNegro it’s naturally easy to pick up, I had a fully clean shave my first time, with no cuts or nicks, and I had a thickish beard. 10- mins and I’m done
@@RockandrollNegro No I'm talking about the lawn mower
Sir, you must do a Complete Wario History, because everyone can sure wanna watch a video with that character via those underrated games!
Absolutely astounding work! You mad lad I can't believe you actually did this! 😲
So glad you liked it. This was a tough one to do
@@slopesgameroom I can imagine! Incredible achievement dude. 👌
I believe both Nakamura-san and Nolan Bushnell.
Bushnell was so hungover he doesn't remember the meetings. He didn't say they DIDNT happen, just that he can't confirm that they did or didn't.
Imagine being that hungover lol
I find this here after finishing watching pixels on the TV about less than ten minutes go
I un ironically loved pixels and bought the blu ray
It really isn't as bad as people made out
@@slopesgameroom I consider it a stupid mindless guilty pleasure
Great stuff mate, what a mammoth video!
Yeah, this one was hard core
Outstanding! Thank you!
