This video contains Official, unofficial, clones, & home brews.
Many of the clones
featured in this video are only to show off the hardware &
it's limitations. It is not
intended to document Pac-Man in all of it's official capacity.
This video will not be following the usual formula.
With exception to the Arcade, all video's will
be featured in alphabetical order.
Even with 100 versions in one video It's still impossible
for me to round up every version out there. I had many
issues with finding the roms / images, & Emulation. Some
roms simply could not be located. This project has taken 7
months to complete. Enjoy !!
In this video We'll be comparing 100
versions of Pac-Man, including clones,
homebrews, & unofficial clones.

Video Description Link:
pacman.fandom.com/wiki/Pac-Ma...)
Pac-Man (パックマン Pakkuman), originally known as Puckman in Japan, is the initial game in the Pac-Man series. It was created by Toru Iwatani and released by Namco in 1980, and it was published by Bally Midway for U.S. distribution. The game would go on to become a cultural icon worldwide.
Name Change:
Pac-Man was originally released under the English name "Puckman". The game's katakana was actually closer to "Pack Man", meaning the original name was likely translated incorrectly. Upon its release in the US, the name was changed to "Pac-Man" due to fear of vandalism of the "P" in "Puck" being changed into an "F". Presumably due to this actually being closer to the intended name, the name was changed to Pac-Man in Japan for subsequent sequels and re-releases.

[@EugenioAngueira]

Excellent video! It's unfortunate that Atari was one of the companies how made no effort to better emulate the arcade game with their port to the 2600. The game looks nothing like the arcade game. I know that the maze is supposed to be turned sideways, like some of the other versions in the video did, but the maze looks nothing like the arcade version. It's good to see that homebrew developers have fixed this issue with their excellent versions, accomplished even in the same 4K limitation. The best version on the 2600, though, is that 8K version. For the system, looks and sound fantastic.

[@thescoobydooshowbythescoob479]

Omg yes finally about time that this video came out as a huge fan of pacman it came as no surprise that this video would've caught my attention when i saw the thumbnail of this video im like oh heck yes finally im gald this video exists in the frist place also its got the best port of pac man on here its the Playstation one version from 1995s namco museum volume 1 so yeah thanks for uploading this video hopefully i can share this very video with all my friends on the pac man anmino so yeah also can you redo the ms pac man video as well please thanks so much your an amazing person for uploading this video for all of us fellow pac man fans to enjoy but yeah love the video nonetheless keep up the awsome work with making the video

[@GamingHistorySource]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am a huge pac-man fan myself. :D This video was 7 months off & on. My original target was around 120 versions. But I kept running into road blocks making it. Emulation, rom location, & recording issues. I sought help from a few places that just didn't come through. But I do not fault them. Some things just don't always fall into place. Please leave me a link to the "pac man anmino" site . Also, any help with producing a Ms. Pac-man mega vid would be greatly appreciated ! Sources, roms, & what not. Just shoot me an email with the information if you don't mind. A Ms' Pac-Man video is in the works as we speak. :)

[@nicholastosoni707]

One of the better knockoffs is the one from the old Willy Wonka site, "Gobstopper Gobbler." It was pretty creative, too---the Energizers (read: Shock Tarts) did something different depending on what color they were (e.g. orange = lock the monsters back in their cages; purple = gain a WONKA letter, etc.), and you could only escape the maze by spelling out WONKA. Blatantly advertising to impressionable children, but it was pretty damn fun. The Wonka games should still be floating around somewhere on the 'net, and with a little digging, one should be able to find them.

[@nikkorapisu1086]

The more recent ZX Spectrum version does, since it's running the original arcade ROM. However it doesn't appear identical to the arcade kill screen since the tile sizes had to be tweaked slightly for the smaller screen.
