|UUDDLRLRAB + Start 》》| Pac-Man franchise turns 41 years old. I wanted to talk a bit about Pac-Man a few months ago but I thought it was better just wait till the anniversary. What can I say about Pac-Man? Sincerely I think the original game is still a good example of timeless game concept that is still fun and memorable, nowadays. I agree that new generations will struggle understanding what made some older products special at the time, but I want to believe Pac-Man is one of the videogames from the 80s that is still and will be still fun in the future. About other games, I have always liked other Pac-Man games like these ones: - Pac-Man 2 The New Adventure (SNES) - Pac-Attack (Genesis) - Pac-Man World (PSX) - Pac-Man Arrangement (PSP) - Pac-Pix (NDS) - Pac-Roll (NDS) - Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures (PS3) - Pac-Man 256 (PS4) - Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 (PS4) After all, Pac-Man is one of the first times a videogame became a worldwide icon and up to this day people that have never liked videogames at all is still discovering the classic concept and enjoying it just like the first day it became available back then in 1980. Happy anniversary Pac-Man Let's hope for other 40 years of enjoyment with the classic Pizza boy. |

PAC-MAN 99 is pretty fun. I seem to always place around 13-17. |

I've never been a huge fan of Pac-Man, those kind of endlessly playable games done for points, it's just one of those games that has always been around, I would play it here or there every so often, though that being said, I'd love nothing more than to have a Pac-Man Cocktail table, there's just something iconic about that to me. |

- Answering to @weirdfeline Sincerely Pac-Man 99 was a good idea, mostly because they didn't hesitate to include stuff from the Championship Edition games, I do think the DLCs packs are too expensive, though. I assume PlayStation and Xbox consoles will get that Battle Royale game for Stadia that was released last year. - Answering to @kamikazekeeg I always thought the original concept was fun and in the 2000s I remember magazines and tv shows mentioning that Pac-Man was an icon for gaming, the original game is good for burn time or just relax and I think it's indeed better than other endless games from the 80s. I guess I also like the character because his inspiration was a half-eaten pizza and pizza with Pepsi is my absolutely favorite food. |

It's too bad Pacpix isn't around to contribute to this thread. I've always been a Pac-Man fan (a Pac-Maniac if you will). My favorite one to play is the sped-up Ms. Pac-Man though finding a port of it outside of MAME seems next to impossible as Namco doesn't care for it. Here recently I picked up one of those Arcade1Up machines off of Facebook which was for the 40th Anniversary of Pac-Man. It's nice but I was in Best Buy yesterday and saw they released a new one just recently called the Legacy Edition. It has all the games mine does + more AND the marquee lights up (mine does not). :P Anywho, I have one of those Ikea Detolf glass display cases and one of the shelves is dedicated to Pac-Man (the other three being Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse & Friends, and Superman). Here's a pic I took late last year... I've got a lot more stuff and could have just about filled the whole case with Pac-Man merch but wanted to have just a hint of diversity. 8) |
