Something is not right... I have this same cartridge and when I play on my 800XL it is different. The graphics and sounds are all the same, but I have none of the intermission cut scenes. Including the one at the very beggining of game if you don't play right away, where pacman is being chased by the ghosts and then he gets a power pellet and turns around gets them one at at a time and as he does it shows the points for each one. That is not in my version either. -sigh-

@JeffAtariUser

I forgot to mention...

The intermission is on the Datasoft and U.S Gold versions ;)

Sorry, there is no box scan or photo in the video... I don't have this game :/

This game must've made every Atari 2600 and 5200 owner jealous back in the day. The 2600 version had horrible graphics and sound, and the 5200 version had horrible gameplay with its widely hated joysticks. Like many arcade classics, the Atari computer version got it right on all counts, and was one of the best versions available.

Yes, this version is excellent ... but it would have been much better if the maze had the same proportion than the arcade version ! ;)

I used to have 2 similar games on my Atari. The first one was named maybe Moustack, in that game I lost my teeth when colliding with a smiling creature and I got my teeth brushed after completing the level. The second game was Twomaze, it had a choice of 3 speeds and it could be played by two players simultaneously.

wow i didnt know pacman was violent back then???

The second movie scene where the red ghost get's stuck on something and then ripps off a piece of his skin I think that was also blood... weird..

[JeffAtariUser]

@CooldudeXXL Yeah, mine does not either... I always was disappointed that it did not, that is my only complaint about the atari 8-bit version, even the 5200 does.
