Is this from AtariSoft? I never saw that version, but this looks and sounds EXACTLY like an earlier Pac-Man clone on the Apple II called "Taxman", which gameplay-wise was the most accurate rendition of Pac-Man I'd seen on that computer.
(Before AtariSoft came along in 1983, there were very few licensed ports of popular arcade games on the Apple- instead, you'd get games that played very similar to those games but with different names. There was a Frogger game called "Ribbit" for example.)
@eyeh8nbc Yes, this is the AtariSoft version, which is essentially Taxman. Atarisoft sued Taxman's creator, and as part of the settlement, they received the source code to Taxman. AtariSoft just slapped the Pac-Man license on it and released it as the official port.
This was my favorite iteration of pacman, because of the apple graphics type of things they had to do, just to get it to work.
The little white ghost.. lol.. he's the cutest, cause he's in APPLE HI RES white! LULZ

The disk for this is in my mom's storage boxes for me. Hopefully not dusted with sand like my C=64 disks got to be, somehow.. ugh.. my poor C=64 disks.. * whimper.. *
@SuperDave341 I don't understand what you're asking exactly. Are you asking if you can embed the video on a web page that compares the different versions of the game, or are you asking if you can download the video for your own personal use as part of a similar project?
*The stage start tune heard here is actually the intermission tune.
*Pac-Man's death sound is a simple, high-pitched descending set of five notes (rather than the descending siren-like sound heard in the arcade original and numerous other home versions)

Woah. The begining music in this version is the intermission music & when Pac-Man eats the dots it sounds like a chicken pecking at something

It's also the ONLY licensed version I know of that supports FIVE players alternating.

Here's the low-down on this version of Pac-Man:
*The stage start tune heard here is actually the intermission tune.
*Pac-Man's death sound is a simple, high-pitched descending set of five notes (rather than the descending siren-like sound heard in the arcade original and numerous other home versions)
