  • @lutzdify I read on Wikipedia that the original Pac-Man's cartridge had only half as much RAM as its follow up games. They may have done it to speed up the 5-week production time. I have read about these kinds of things with game carts limiting the RAM amount in earlier installments, like the first Sonic game had 8 bits of RAM, versus maybe double in Sonic 3 without the Sonic and Knuckles expantion cart. Thought I''d share that with all of you. :)

  • What.........The...,..........­.......F!

  • The 2600 graphics are so bad Pac Man is a crooked diamond.

  • @lutzdify Have you ever seen "A Better Pac Man" on Atari Age? Its a hack of Mrs. Pacman but its exactly what this game should have been.

  • there was a reason they didn't show the actual graphics in the commercial....

  • The main reason WHY pac-man for the atari 2600 was so flicker-y when it came to mutliple ghost sprites as well as very limited animation was not because pac-man on the 2600 was impossible, it was because the game wasn't EVEN HALF FINISHED when the managers at atari decided to released it early!!!!!!

  • @HONEYKONEKO

    And, to top it off, the "Pac-Man" commercial was false advertising.

    The actual 2600 game looks nothing like what's shown on the commercial.

  • ...and then comes the GTA Vice City commercial...

  • "It's the new video computer game everyone's talking about."

    They sure were, except the comments were less than flattering.

    "This is what I spent my allowance money on? This is nothing like the arcade game. THIS SUCKS!"

  • THAT WAS AMAZING...The lyrics were worse than Friday's, but still! I miss games like this...
