Atari 2600 Pac-Man commercial with Mr. Hooper

I want a atari video computer system!

Pac-Man for Atari blew dog.

I remember buying this with my Xmas money in 1982 and feeling totally f*cked when I got home and tried it out!

The 2600 Ms. Pac-Man was much improved!

Lol. The footage of the game in the commercial is better than the game in real life. The real game has a REALLY bad flikering problem with the ghosts.

Everybody talks about susposed video game system crash of 1983 but for 2 years people just moved on to home computers like the atari 800 and the commodore 64 and what do you think they did on them? I played et when I was 8 and we had great fun playing and beating it. I don't know who labeled it one of the worst games of all time it wasnt my brothers or I. How many good movie based games are there?

I am fully aware that consumers went to home computers during the time, as it was considered a better investment when considering all the other things that a PC offered. ET was not a full game and was considered a failure even by those that made it. It was given 6 weeks to complete a game from concept to store shelves, so it was far too rushed to be a fully enriched experience. Games like this and Pacman for the 2600 stand as monuments to the loss of trust that consumers had for videogames.

Not a pc a commodore 64 or atari because they had better games.

What did you think those were? Home Computers or Personal Computers. Please don't try to act like I don't know what I am talking about.

Pc has become universally adopted as meaning an ibm or clone. The commodore 64 was the greatest home computer to come out of the 80s and mostly that was because of its games.

Wow, you are a broken record. I referred to them both as PC and Home Computer. Home Computer was what they were calling all computers, including the Commodore 64. I understand that, at a time, PC was a reference to IBM, but today, PC is a general term. Sorry to confuse you...
