Atari 800 fan

Ok, I know I used a bad thread title, but in my opinion (Just the part about PacMan being the arcade hit at home) it does. You guys are right about it being adequete as a standalone game, but it could stand some work on the Arcade reproduction. I can change the topic's title.

And how do you do that, since the 2600 has only one button? (I know in the original 2600 Defender you go to the top and fire to hyperspace, and go to the bottom to smart-bomb.)

I don't know how to hack or program, even though it is my interests. It was just an Idea.

Since I can't hack, I can only dream, can I? This Idea was to Hack Donkey Kong to: 1. Change the colors of the Ramps (to Red) and the Rivits (to dark blue) 2. To Make the sound more to the arcade. 3. Add the Elevator Level (May need more memory) to be comparable to the NES version (It had only 3 levels- Ramps, Elevators, Rivits) 4. Enhance the sprites. (DK looks like Jason covered in mud, and Mario looks like he's wearing pajamas.) 5. WTF is with those barrels!?!? They look more like cookies. I'm not sure if this all is possible, but I know some of it is. It could be Donkey Kong ARCADE. I think the 2600 Donkey Kong is passable, but that is it.

Defender Is a fun game to play. I just find the "Disappearing ship when you fire" annoying, as well as the flickering. It would pass, but I think Stargate/ Defender II Is a much better port. (A question about stargate- Can you go invisible like in the arcade?)

Sorry, but I hit the button twice to post it. This message was not meant to be

I've played ET on Stella, a Windows Emulator. ET sucks something worse than an A$$hole. I keep falling into a pit, and once I "escape" I move one pixel and I fall in. Defender flickers so much that I run away from my PC and go jump off a cliff. Now keep in mind that Defender and PacMan: People hated these games so much that they buried it in Mexico or someplace and put a Building over the landfill as a coverup. And that "Better PacMan" is way better than that Ugly 1981 PacMan

I'll score 2600 Ms. PacMan for you: Graphics: (7/10) At least It looks Arcad-ish. Sounds: (8/10) Not too bad. Gameplay: (10/10) I enjoy it. Fun Factor: (8/10) Perfect in Comparison to the Arcade version. Overall: (9/10) Everyone should own this much better Pac-Game. In other words, no. Ms. PacMan is way better!

Who doesn't hate it? And we are talking about the originals, not the hacks. I hate the corny manual's story, which goes something like this: PacMan lives in Mazeland? What about PacLand? You do this by feeding him Video Wafers throughout the mazes, while avoiding four ghosts. Video Wafers my A$$. They are supposed to be pellets? I will grade the properties of each game: Graphics: (2/10) I've seen better graphics on my Handheld Football. Sounds: (1/10) It would be 0, but at least it has sound. [pang, pang] Gameplay: (1/10) 2/10 if you use a Sega Genisis Joypad. Fun Factor: (1/10) 2600 Pac-Man recieves A "You'll have more fun watching a dead fish" Award for Fun. Overall: (0/10) Each cart is worth 0.0000000000000001 cents. Share your pet peeves about this pathetic game.

It is a good Idea- For a system that is over 20 years old. Hey, nobody's perfect, but you are off to a great start.
