SS Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 OK, this is a question for the very few of y'all who have actually had the chance to play both games. How does Pesco compare to the Ebivision version of Pac-Man? The DP review of Pesco says : As with any game there are some drawbacks, however with Pesco they are very minor. The most noticeable is the lack of sound. Other than the noise that Pesco makes when eating the plankton, there really isn't any sound in the game. I'm not going to criticize to harshly in this area because it's very possible that there are other factors involved like a lack of coding space due to the cartridge size. Does Ebivision Pac-Man have similar sound fx limitations? I know that I had the CGE video on my HD at one time but I can't seem to locate it now.

CPUWIZ Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I know for sure there is more than one sound effect in Ebivision's Pac-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 If I had to choose one game to own for the 2600 that I don't already have, it would probably be Ebivision's Pac-man. --Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I too, would love to have been able to purchase this game. I'd be happy even for just the chance to play it on an emulator..... (hint hint hint....) Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanglyman Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My guess is they probably got threats from Namco or ? for using the Pac-Man name and probably would not (could not) give official permission to release the rom they don't even mention it on they're site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 This is a reminder for anyone who posts a link or a zipfile of Ebivision games into this thread, Albert and Alex have been in negotiations with them to sell their products in the store.

raindog Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well, I was the one who got his post deleted by linking to someone else's copy of the ebivision roms, since I didn't know the Ebivision guys were still alive, much less talking to Albert Anyway, the rest of my post went something like this: I have Pesco and wasn't really impressed by it. The net effect was making me want to start from scratch on a better Pac-Man again, because this wouldn't have been it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Sorry about that, I was just about to send you a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I wouldn't have jumped back into the thread so quickly if I hadn't had to edit my post to fix the link, which was broken anyway, and phpBB did its weird database locking thing and I had to reload the thread to see if my changes went in.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Why would one not admit to owning Ebivision Pac-Man? AFAIK the neither the cart nor the binary was ever released, so I suppose only the Ebivision guys have a copy of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few carts were made by Ebivision and given to a few select individuals I know one was for a contest. As to wehter or not I would admit to owning one... well Let's leave it at that. -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CGE 99 video is the infamous one that first drew me here to the Atari Nexus! Now of course it's found just at cyberroach.

Marco Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Indeed, several carts exist (maybe 10). Most of them were given away in the '99 CGE contest. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
