For those who didn't know the Pacman Championship Nes version works on NES emulators its a legit NES rom

[@Tirgo69]

And it's one of the best NES games ever. Released 30 years after the console was relevant.

[@Bro3256]

should note that the game uses the Namco 106 mapper which features expansion audio, the same expansion audio that is also featured in games such as Megami Tensei II, Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken, and Mappy Kids the cartridge pins for said expansion audio is only present on Famicom consoles, as NES consoles removed the feature so unless you plan on playing the game on Famicom than you'll have to modify the NES to re-enable expansion audio otherwise you'll be missing quite a bit of the games sound this is mainly if you intend on playing via original hardware, you won't have to worry about any of this in the emulation realm

The Sega Genesis and SNES versions of Ms Pac-Man are the best. You can even play with another player on the maze at the same time

[@275hammy]

This is pretty off topic, but I'm glad to finally see Namco Museum DS acknowledged; I was honestly worried you hadn't played it. I grew up with it, and it's part of why I enjoy Namco's classics to this day. More importantly though, it's a really good Namco Museum title. A ton of artwork, manuals, etc., a great sound test, the ability to play Xevious Plus (and Dig Dug 2 Plus if i remember the other one right), just the coolest intro, controlling the DIP switches of the arcade board, and, in my opinion, the best version of Pac Man Vs. M2 cares a lot as you've mentioned before, and it shows in Namco Museum DS in ways i wish would return in future Namco Museum games.

[@tsunamirider9895]

Agreed. Absolutely love Namco Museum DS. Also agree, best version of Pac Man Vs w/everyone having their own DS. Download Play and sharing of all the games. And Love Dig Dug 2 as well! PSP Namco Museum was great too, especially since it got Ms Pac Man. Good times.

a video made specifically for me about a year ago when i was looking up namco arcade stuff for switch and found out there are like a bajillion releases for pac-man and classic arcade namco titles but all with slightly different selection of games , game versions , and extra features. clearly the best way to go about it is to do what scott did and buy all of them.

The Problem with Pac-Man 99 is that Pac-Man (At least the original version) wasn't really a versus focused game. So they had to add things to Pac-Man 99 which does work, but... does it? On the other hand, in Tetris 99 and F-Zero 99, in the originals you were always going against other players (Unless if you played a different mode), so the games themselves only had to be altered a little to fit with the 99 formula

[@rodneylives]

NES/Famicom Pac-Man also has a couple of significant bugs that affect play. When monsters switch from Chase to Scatter mode, they don't reverse direction, which means you can't easily tell when they switch. And, crucially, when the game reaches maximum difficulty (at the 8th Key board instead of 9th like the arcade), there's a bug that makes the initial Scatter period much longer than usual. It's really noticeable when you get to it, the ghosts circle the corners of the board for quite a while before they start chasing you!

[@daserfomalhaut9809]

Shoutouts to Hamster's Arcade Archive ports in general. They've been getting arcade perfect ports to consoles, mainly Switch, for years with all kinds of games. They focus heavily on STG's, but there's a shit ton of classics ported by them on Switch and not one is a botched job. They've given clean access to stuff that I would never think to hit consoles at all let alone with quality. Next to M2, they're doing an excellent at making some of these games accessible and preserving them. The fact that In the Hunt, Xexex, and X-Multiply are just on Switch for $7 a pop is crazy to me. Arcade games are notoriously finnicky for normal fan emulation and tracking down real hardware is not only difficult but more expensive than owning a PC usually. Go browse their offerings.

It looks like the co op pac man championship is comprehensive so it includes all the content from the single player version and that’s why it defaults to it

[@CarlMakesVideos]

My gut says Pac Man CE has fewer rereleases than CEDX, but that may be because between the Pac Man and Galaga collection being delisted on the 3ds eshop (and the cessation of it being printed physically), and the release of the Pac Man Museum Plus that included it, CE1 (non-DX) was not available anywhere, while CEDX was available on Steam. Could be that I just hold CE closer to me since it was actually designed by Toru Iwatani, and DX is just a confusingly-named sequel that plays incredibly differently.

[@Markimark151]

Pac Man has been released multiple times on the Switch is redundant, if it’s part of a collection that’s enough, it’s kind of like when Pac Man was released multiple times on GBA in compilations and in its standalone NES version!
