In 1980, Pac-Man was famous. And in 1982 the Atari version was famously bad. Check out how this game holds up today right here in this review.

  • Yep. Could have been better. Good job on capturing the video in a high enough frame rate to capture all the ghosts. Since they are so flickery they tend to not show up well since they flicker at a certain rate.

  • Yeah, I knew this would be a problem. The ghosts actually look better on my video than on a tv - on the tv it's hard to see what color they are, they actually have a bit of color in this video though. I exported in HD, 150 fps - this did the trick for the most part with the flicker.

  • 150 fps? Dam. I thought it only went up to 60 fps.

  • i just check, actually the 150 number was a different setting. i ran this video at 60fps, which i think is standard HD. you can go as high as you want, but after 60fps, the footage appears in slow motion like a high speed camera so i think 120fps would appear to run at half speed..

  • I dont think its that bad really

  • I Think I Like How The Ghosts Flicking. Yeah Its A Glitch Design Flaw But I Like it

  • That's interesting that Atari made more of these carts than there were consoles. Though I would argue that Pac Man and ET were not as guilty for the crash as every one makes them out to be.

  • I Rather Play This Game Then Super Man 64

  • atari did this becouse pacman was such a big name and thay new it make alot of money. thay did the same with et! i mean look at ms pacman thats how pacman should have looked!

  • You absolutely nailed it with "Disappointed Childhood". I was so let down as a kid. It was like your parents getting you fake Nikes and the other kids would just laugh.

  • my eyesight would worsen if i ever played this game ever again... the game was that bad

  • I knew this game was considered terrible, but did not kow the full details till now.

  • Atari age has made a game called Better Pacman that is 10 times better than this game. The Atari programmers were just trying to make a quick buck when they made this game.
