Classic Game Room HD - PAC MAN for Atari 5200 review

Classic Game Room reviews PAC MAN for Atari 5200! How does this version of Pac Man compare to the Atari 2600 version and Namco's arcade stand up classic? Arguably the most famous video game character in history, Pac Man is recognizable everywhere in the world. The mesmerizing maze based game has been ported onto dozens of game consoles, new and old and has been shrunk down to play on watches, phones and toys. Back in 1982 there were fewer ways to play Pac Man than there are now, and unless you went to the arcade to play a real coin-op Pac Man machine you weren't going to find a quality Pac Man conversion unless you had the ATARI 5200. The CGRHD Atari 5200 reviewer reviewing Atari 5200 games like Pac Man loves this game cartridge. Pac Man on the 5200 looks great, sounds great, plays well and is a stunning example of the potential that Atari's 5200 game system. The analog Atari 5200 non-self centering joystick is terrible for Pac Man, practically ruining the experience. I'm out to find a better controller but can say with certainty that this version of Pac Man is awesome! It just needs a better controller.

I just fixed my atari 2600 controller I bought. It was a mess. I might add a potentiometer

I didn't care much for this review, but I still gave it a tumbs-up for the attempted beer analogy (even if it doesn't quite work).

I like beer.

@FromThisWorld2Sirius "Ocarina of Time"

*troll mode, engage*

Pfft. Link to the Past was the last good Zelda game. N64 had no good games, and ruined all the classic series by making them 3D.

the first intro is better

[TheIrateFan]

@FromThisWorld2Sirius Yeah, original games have value because they are collectible! It{s not the same retro feeling playing kirby on an emulator rather than on an old fashioned gameboy for example

[Zachandhisdicky47101]

@TheDragonCore its just the begening of his video

[FromThisWorld2Sirius]

@crazy32495 Classic games on modern consoles or devices are usually updated for a cleaner look and feel. But 99% of those who played a classic prefer the original, because the look, sound, and feel takes the player(s) back memory lane.

There are many reasons why people will sell original games online for a high price.

To test out this theory, go to Amazon.com and find the original N64 Ocarina of Time game.

[GamerNinjaX]

[GamerNinjaX]

@crazy32495 now why does anyone care? and maybe because this game console came before the ipod touch. use your head.
