[@supertombrother1988]

Everyone complains about the loss of Ms. Pac-Man, but nobody ever asks what happened to Junior Pac-Man. Junior Pac-Man was my favorite game in the series, and a true arcade port has never happened. The Atari 2600 version changed the maze from horizontal scrolling to vertical scrolling, and the version included on the genesis version of Pac-Man 2 was just a hack of Ms. Pac-Man. My kingdom for an accurate port of Junior Pac-Man!!

[@supertombrother1988]

@W B no. Junior Pac-Man was an arcade game released in 1983 by midway while they were localizing namco games in America. The machines still exist and are quite expensive. My complaint is that the arcade game was never properly ported to modern consoles. The game WAS an arcade game, it WASN'T crappy, and you don't even know what you're talking about!

[@phoenixzappa7366]

[@TheSelectGaming]

Would have been awesome if they put the PS1 Pac-Man World on this one.

[@serrotnodnarB]

i have a feeling that those games might be getting a remaster/rerelease at some point

[@isaigutierrez1617]

@@serrotnodnarB klonoa is being remastered. So I can see that happening

[@serrotnodnarB]

@@isaigutierrez1617 definitely! it just seems weird to me that with all Namco rereleases, the Pac-man World games never get their time to shine.

[@jordanhoughton1948]

I would guess it's because Ms pacman is in it and all the legal stuff they don't want to deal with and they didn't want to modify it. I mean they have 'Pac in Time' but no 'Pacman 2' AKA: 'Hello Pacman'? Probably the same issue unfortunately

[@saturncrush]

That is why this collection is a no go for me. All 3 PAC world’s should have been on this collection. I would have gladly paid more for it.

[@gwildor8543]

Not sure how everyone else feels, but I’d have loved a virtual pinball version of baby pac man. I still love playing it when I come across it in retro arcades. Although I’m not sure how well that would have translated over.

[@Cyborg647]

There was a pinball game of pacman?

[@TheGameBeaters]

Funny, had the same exact thought!

[@sfbsfb]

@@Cyborg647 it was a hybrid video game and pinball game. I played it in arcades back in the day. The top portion was a video game, similar to regular pac-man, with 1-2 tunnels pointing down. When you escaped down one of those tunnels, the lower pinball portion would begin. Truly unique. I haven’t seen it in decades.

[@Cyborg647]

@@sfbsfb definitely would like to play that now lol

[@drno-xc1yt]

There's a homebrew port for the Atari 7800.

[@skiethefolf8247]

1:53 This was actually how arcades first worked when arcades were first coming out. It was basically gambling. But gambling was outlawed, and now kids had access to it. So the country of the U.S.A. (at least) took it out on pinball. Which was different to modern pinball. No flippers. So they added the flippers and just made the game about scores and it was no longer gambling.

[@AzrialAlaria]

And now we have brand new "gambling" machines for children in the form of Stacker and I-Cube machines! It infuriates me!!

[@digitalevolution167]

Just downloaded this on Xbox game pass and had a fun time playing. Not sure if I would pay $19.99 or 29.99 for a physical copy … but on game pass 100% worth the download! Great review!

[@ObiWanJabronE]

Does the game show up on your Achievments list? I got 3 Xbox Achiements and when I went to check the rest of them the game isn't in the list, really odd.

[@averagedog206]

Same

[@mattpike7268]

It's a steal for $20 physically IMO.

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

It's best to buy to own. Game Pass is pretty much Xbox's Netflix or Hulu. They have the rights to take it away from you unless you buy.

[@LegionOfWorldWarriors]

Just use Game Pass to try games. Not cheat the system and misusing it to avoid buying games. Devs and companies need the money, not just Microsoft.

[@saltsalted1528]

I was really shocked when I saw that pac n roll remix and Pac motos were included in the game due to how more of a second thought they really are in terms of a pac man collection game.

[@UwUDaniUwU]

I wish i lived in a world where atgames didnt own ms pacman, then we'd be able to have ms.pacman and pacman jr. Would be neat to have that in this collection, as long with baby pacman pinball. Would be the ultimate collection.

[@jwill7998]

I'd pay $40 (maybe even $50) if it include the Pacman World trilogy.

[@bland9876]

They just need to make an entire compilation with all the spinoffs like adventurers in time and maze madness plus having that pinball game on the gba would not sting as much

[@renofheavens2]

No trilogy, but the first Pacman World game is getting a remake and coming out in August

[@bland9876]

@@renofheavens2 hopefully they make it worth us just paying for 1 game.

[@josephcontreras8930]

Or how about the giant screen size one?? Like the ones in the arcades

[@jaym5118]

There's one major gripe I have with this collection. The fact that they couldn't add Ms. Pac-Man to this. Ms. Pac-Man is such a classic. Not to mention, where's Jr. Pac-Man? It's unfortunate that ALL Pac-Man related games couldn't be featured on this.

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

AtGames is at fault for this.

[@DigiPen92]

@Madlittlepixel Why did the video thumbnail showed the Boxart had the M Rating Logo on Pac-Man Museum+? The Boxart that you showed in the video had the Rated E for Everyone on it.

[@blinxerizer5426]

It's cool to have PM 256 physical now. I got so addicted to that game.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

PM 256 was the selling point for me.

[@Ponaru]

Same. Having 256 and Championship Edition on Switch is awesome!

[@glennshoemake4200]

I picked this up on Steam and it works perfectly on the Steam Deck. Controls could be a bit tighter, but I think this could be due to the original arcade games were 4 point controls and modern systems are 8 point controls and if you use diagnol on analog stick it confuses the game. Using rdpad is the way to go.

[@mademedothis424]

It's a great set of games and it's cool to have CE and Arrange on the Steam Deck, but... man, it's laggy. I don't know if the Switch version is better, but the input lag on some of the faster games really sucks. As the review says the bezels are also bad and the CRT filter is atrocious. It sucks that these types of compilations never go that extra bit further to prevents those types of issues.

[@idontknowwhattocallmyaccou349]

I own a steam deck and think this game is great on here

[@SuperHyphyOne]

We need Tate mode on the Switch. That should have been a no-brainer considering that The Arcade Archives versions have the option as well as Namco Museum. Tate mode with a Flip Grip is the best way to play some of these games.

[@broken1394]

No tate is a big miss for me ... Saturn Controller and stand is a cool way to play hanheld mode.

[@andrewvasquez1960]

This is a steal, most of these titles are priced at $7.99 on the eshop so all these games together is a great deal, new copies at walmart are now $19.99.

[@otherverge]

This game genuinely feels like an ARCADE game that make you feel like you’re in one lol

[@spiritandtimeakalilroachie7014]

I go hard on the editor. Unlocking new cabinets and filling up rows in the arcade makes me unbelievably happy

[@Lassikko]

Definitely hope this game gets some extra games as DLC. Probably the easiest addition would be the NES demake of Championship Edition, I honestly think that version is better than the original. Another possible one is Championship Edition DX, probably my favorite Pac-Man game? Would be great to have a version on modern consoles.

[@Quartzer.]

I could also see Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures and Pac-Man Plus

[@billford171]

got it and love it. Sadly Ms. Pacman is my favorite but still a great collection. Really wish they would work out whatever it is they have to work out with AtGames, or just buy AtGames completely.

[@bland9876]

5:47 for anyone who has played this on the gamebube/ps2 etc that's the wrong bezel for pacman arrangement 1 also I've played that game 2 player and the second player is puke man (green) so idk why they would remove it.

[@koryandrews1665]

One issue I have had with the digital version on switch is this, once in awhile it seems like the audio in different games gets kind of screwy. Like for example, playing Pac-Attack, or even the OG Pac-Man, the sound sometimes becomes garbled or scratchy sounding and the only way to really "fix" it is to exit the game and restart. Not sure if this is an emulation issue or what.

[@brandonmatys]

It is but I just pause and unpause it and the music works just fine after that

[@natepacjr5877]

That also happened to me. Once when I was playing Pac-Land and that happened and the game crashed and it didn’t save my high score

[@AbeM.]

I noticed sometimes the sound gets kinda scratchy in some games, like My Arcade Pocket Player Pac-Mania quality, has that happened to anyone else?

[@vega123ev]

Same!

[@AbeM.]

I hope it’s something they can fix. For a moment I thought maybe Pac-Mania and Pac-Attack just sounded ugly by design, but then it switched back to sounding ok.

[@leeboy2k1]

Software sound emulation is always a bit and miss even if a software emulator is 'cycle accurate' Heck even the God-tier MisterFPGA's sound reproduction can miss the mark depending on the implementation.

[@fruitlion8]

It's a very addictive collection. Worth it for games like Pac Attack and Arrangement alone in my eyes, but it's missing a few key titles and doesn't have much use for those coins.

[@NickArcade]

I've been playing it on Game Pass. Other Xbox players reported input delay with some of the titles.

[@scoony68]

also inputs being eaten. Best way to play this would be a 4 way arcade stick but then it would be useless for most other games

[@ReptileNL]

Pac-man Museum on the PS3 and Xbox 360 got a DLC of Ms. Pac-man Maybe that can happen with the + version eventually?

[@mknightstalkerx]

Not unless they can make a deal with at games. Since they own her now.

[@KesMonkey]

Played it on Xbox via Game Pass. Lots of issues. CRT filter looks poor due to uneven scanlines. Pac-land and Pac-mania have jerky scrolling. No CRT filter option for console games. Camera X-axis in the museum is inverted, with no option to change it. Cannot redefine any of the controls. No bilinear filtering option. Can't disable or change bezels. And finally, no Ms. Pac-man. I'm very disappointed. I won't be buying it unless they fix all of these things.

[@leeboy2k1]

I believe both of those games had refresh rates between 55-60HZ so unless the Xbox's VRR supports 40HZ and up, and you have a compatible monitor, there's the reason.

[@0utrunner237]

You not buying then. Ain't no way they addressing _all_ those issues. Especially Ms. Pacman.

[@ObiWanJabronE]

I noticed input lag too. Also the game doesn't show up in my Achievements list for some reason.

[@NotArmani30]

Ehhhh, I didn't really notice. My only real problem is the bezel art but they all look really good. Maybe that's just me 🤷

[@AzrialAlaria]

Then don't buy it. Ms. Pacman is GONE!

[@Raphael_De_La_Ghetto]

I have it on Switch, but i cant find Pac-Man 256, where is it? Does it have to be unlocked? Edit:you answered my question thanks

Perfect! Thank you for reviewing this. I'm a looooong time pacman fanatic, and I've never heard of this.

[@ChromeFamily]

Why no Ms Pacman, Jr Pacman, Baby Pacman or Professor Pacman?

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

Professor Pac actually is in the game as a statue. As for the other... Bs legal stuff Namco is too lazy to fix

[@ReptileNL]

🤞🏻

[@drno-xc1yt]

Jr Pac-Man, Baby Pac-Man and Professor Pac-Man were developed by Bally Midway and the prevailing thought is that Namco never approved the development of these games. Squabbles over royalties followed, Namco has never really acknowledged these games as "true" Pac-Man games, and with Midway's liquidation, who knows who even owns the rights to these games today.

[@DieselJT]

Just opened up my Switch copy last night and I'm having a blast with it.

[@JBLmobileG1]

This is nostalgia for me, so I had to buy it when I went to Walmart and saw it. I only paid 22$ with tax for the switch version copy

Come on Nintendo Tax! Also, I know its a big ask but can they figure out a way to port Baby Pac-Man? If so I'm all in!

[@brendanroberts1310]

Cartridges are more expensive to produce then discs.

[@victorromero8010]

I don’t like the in-game coins. This technically means games with continue functions like Pac-Man Arranged have limited continues, and I suck at some of these games, which could mean I end up with no coins, rendering the game useless.

[@davidcurtis8427]

How? Play pac man 256 to grind coins. Really easy and fastest ways

6:28 now thats what i call a PERFECT run haha

[@ducktail4068]

Its a good collection except for the sound emulation issues with some of the games such as pac man itself AND theres no online multiplayer despite there being 5 multiplayer games. The first pac man museum had pac man battle royale too, and no online, the did not redeem themselves in this area 8 years later.

[@dorien9127]

YES I AGREE! I had this issue with the original pac man and pac n pal. Hopefully this gets patched soon in a update
