oh yeah, what a classic. I never played the C64 version though. I recently played the emulated version for NES and I used save states to get as far as I could... yeah.. there is no end...
@badassgamez The C64 version was the first non-arcade version I played, followed by the Spectrum version followed by various others. Pac Man will live forever...
@techromancer1 yeah, the problem with the C64 version was the cpu clock speed. The VIC video chip dot clock was tied critically to the cpu clock, which left little time for the SID sound chip, which resulted in sound issues... sorry, got a bit technical there... ;-)
Looks almost identical to the Atari 8-bit version, except that sadly Pacman is in orange in the Atari 8-bit version.

@RPKGameVids Yeah, I always wondered why he was orange... now the question is who copied who's version... :)

You play Pacman the same way I do. You use the power pills to keep you safe while you clean up the dots, rather than to chase/eat the ghosts.
I have about as much success as you too :D
Great video, and it's nice to see these different versions.

@SteveBenway I find it a strategy that keeps me alive longer, I always favoured survival over high scores...
