Скачать или смотреть Pac-Man (Atari 2600/800/5200) - Dang I actually like the 2600 version : D [Atari 50 DLC]

Checking out the Namco DLC Pac-Man stuff in Atari 50--the Steam version in Windows!

2:01:25 - Pac-Man Atari 2600 TV commercial

There's horrible flicker, there's input delay, the ghosts' hurt boxes are huge, and it's almost nothing like the arcade game, but darned if the original Atari (VCS/2600) Pac-Man ain't pretty darned fun! The 800 and slightly faster 5200 versions, on the other hand, just feel like graceless arcade ports--where the speeds of everything are off, including yes no cornering speed boost. : P

(I mean, the VCS version has no cornering speed boost either, but it's its own thing and doesn't feel like that's a missing part of it, you know?)

"VCS" stands for "Video Computer System" says Wikipedia. The picture book monsters comparison I was trying to make with Hiro Kimura's unused Pac-Man 2600 box art was Maurice Sendak's 1963 "Where the Wild Things Are."
