BillDMatt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) got this over the weekend as part of the last chance, I absolute LOVE this version. Not just because it's on another level than the original but also because of how it plays, the AI on the ghosts is just fantastic, it so challenging but not unbeatable like Junior Pacman for the 2600, but much more than the original and Ms Pacman. When you complete a level even the first cherry level, it's like "Whew, OK let's GO " It also has has that sound and feel that it's an atari 2600 game. Love that it uses the sound used for ET moving around as the sound of the eating the pellets. The graphics are such a step up from the original but still retains that distinct Atari Look. Like this would have fit in with the realeses that came out 1982 1983 and into the red label era when it seemed like everything started to come together in terms of graphics etc. ie Phoenix, Vanguard, Defender II etc. Just a great great game.

I really enjoyed the challenge when I was building it. I also still enjoy playing it too. I admit that I build the ROM with the original speed though 3 hours ago, BillDMatt said: Love that it uses the sound used for ET moving around as the sound of the eating the pellets. LOL...that wasn't the intent. I struggle in the TIA sound department but glad you liked it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Atari goodness to share with the kiddos? 😁 yeah I enjoy getting my 11 year old into the older games, he likes the orignal basketball, frogs and flies, bowling and Demaon Attack, right now he and I are in a big Sonic phase which is a lot fun. He's much happier when he's done playing retro games. When he gets off his XBox he becomes possessed by some demon. LOL It's insane some days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This run-on sentence is driving me batty. Much more what than the original and Ms Pac-Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Yeah probably, but it could also be much more not unbeatable like Junior Pacman for the 2600 than Pac-Man or Ms PAC-man, or a couple other ridiculous sounding possibilities. Spoiler I pressed spoiler by accident and now I can’t undo it. Edited March 21 by Glorkbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
