Jinks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) These are taken from a real 7800, Concerto, RF, and 50inch Samsung plasma. Looks better in person than the phone camera as a blue reflection and blurry image also the ghosts colours are all problems with using a phone camera.. I have stuff in front of the Crt right now so I can not access the plug in...lol. or I would take a picture there too..

PacManPlus Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) @Trebor - if that is the case, I am VERY happy to be wrong about that. Maybe it was just the TV I used. It was an old 32" RCA tube (damn thing was heavy too!) I am still curious, however, to see 320B mode on a tube... If anyone is able to throw together a video or even a picture.

Jinks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) 20200526_115010.mp4 Ok heres the Crt.. That is a 27" Hitachi ultravision RF into the 7800. Doing some sorting through junk in the room sorry about the mess... 20200526_115010.mp4 Edited May 26, 2020 by Jinks 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't look right on modern LCD screens. The graphics and fonts were all made using a CRT as the benchmark of what it would look like. They also tend to look sharper than on a high resolution LCD screen. Most of the time they are in the wrong aspect ratio. I know they take up more room, but they are worth the hassle IMHO. From the picture and video posted, it appears the game looks fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I can not post the video that I wanted.. only does 4 seconds. First video I ever posted online. The sound picture and everything is way better than anything. Once my ears and eyes sense an Atari playing through a crt with an good rf connection it is unlike any other experience when it comes to classic gaming.. Did not your mother tell you about going blind if you emulate?? Edited May 26, 2020 by Jinks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The video will play but takes time to load. This will give you guys an idea about how great the TIA sound is on this game. Also the amazing graphics and my non-gameplay skills holding a camera in one hand and playing with the other.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Just download the last video to be able to easily watch it. Enjoy! Thank you Bob for the cool game for us to enjoy. Now if you could do a Pac Man tutorial on how to play the game?? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me reading all the posts, including the HSC issue. It didn't click...until right now. Thank you...LoL! *EDIT: Here are just a few real fast, real crappy (And I mean backlight hitting, reflecting poorly, other lamp in the background, angled funky, kid and dog running around), crappy captures direct from a CRT. These by no means truly show off how good it actually appears on the display. I am not exaggerating, and sure Jinx can confirm again, it looks much better in person. Those extra line pattern/artifacts aren't present in the Pac-Man logo and other places. Between the camera, quality of capture, and resizing, a lot more noise was introduced into the pics. However, even these show it is more than looking good and probably the only time I ever wanted Bob to be wrong about something. I can't wait for the full cart and even more so to have the XM engaging that sweet Yamaha sound by tep392: 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 BTW, there are two easter eggs in this game. One is easy to find (as somebody already found it), and the other.... well, let's just say you have to be VERY good at Pac/Ms. Pac to activate it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I had once so it gave me the extra man sound for every bad guy chomped once too. Kinda having nightmares about the Popeye guy..

Jinks Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Maybe it is because I have an older version but when I scroll the screen up I can not see the leftover Pac Mans. Edited May 27, 2020 by Jinks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I'm very confused by this... If that were true, then you wouldn't be able to see the bottom of the maze either. The lives left go up the left side of the maze from the bottom, like the level indicator (fruit) goes down the left side of the maze from the top... The lives indicators are not at the bottom of the screen like in the normal game. This was done to be able to show more of the maze on the screen.

I think he means that when he is at the top of the maze, the extra lives are scrolled off the bottom and not visible. Which, I think (?), is normal behavior. The entire screen scrolls, not just the maze. That’s correct, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, that is normal behavior. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Honestly, even though it's unconventional, I think it's charming that the score, lives, and fruit/level indicator are part of the playfield that scrolls around. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
