16-Bit Gems #29: Pac-Man 2 (SNES, Genesis)

A Pac-Man game is a Pac-Man game is a Pac-Man game, right? Not when it's Pac-Man 2 - Namco's unexpected foray into point and click adventure. While it threw Pac-fans for a loop in the 90's, we can look back now and give this quirkly little title its due. Find out why it's worth your Pac-time in this Pac-episode.

@BobbyShyne The Lost Levels is basically an add on pack to the original Mario Bros. designed for masochists. The U.S. version of part 2 is a much better game. Thank goodness we didn't get the Japanese version here, as it would have hurt the series because of it's difficulty and dated graphics (why Nintendo didn't release it here). The only people who claim to dislike Mario 2 U.S. are hipster Japanophiles who won't admit they loved it back in the day.

Just finished watching Soul Blazer review on RWT, and was wondering why you stopped making video's. Then I was smart enough to click on your youtube link, and now I'm oh so happy to see your still active!

I LOVE that rendition of the song "Here's to the Losers"! :D Vic Fontane's character on DS9 was pleasantly surprising on that series...

@sholva81 unleashed is great. Colors on Wii is really good.

this game sucks. it isn't pac-man. mario 2 wasn't mario and castlevania 2 was a broken game. zelda 2 also is not zelda (it is my fav "zelda" personally). these blacksheep sequels deserve that ugly moniker

@3:27 Ha, I love that America felt the need to make its box art just slightly more "extreme".

@OminousSquid why his games on ps3 are complete piles of dogshit except generations

@BobbyShyne Nice try hipster. Seems that nobody really agrees with you on this one. SMB2 is a GREAT game while the Lost Levels was just painful. I tried to like it but I can't. In fact, I'd rather play Ninja Gaiden, TMNT (the first NES game), Battletoads and Probotector in one sitting without losing ONE life. It would still be easier and a lot more fun. Nice try but I rather play some games that are actually worth my time. Have fun with your "real"' game.

@OminousSquid There is everything wrong with more recent games in the franchise. If you grew up with the genesis you will know exactly what I am talking about. In the Sonic universe its supposed to be Animals = Good People= Bad.
