Summary: DUDE! MY Pac Man
Comment: I unfortunately don't have this game anymore, I have not had my system for 7 years due to life circumstances. I have the Jakks games, and MAN! I love the sound effects of Atari 2600 better! The eating of pellets and power pellets, and ESPECIALLY when Pac Man crashes into the ghost monster. I love the sound effect of Pac Man eating ghost monsters! YEAH BOY!!!
Call me a dweeb if you must, but those are way better sound effects than the arcade version!

Summary: Pac-man and E.T., Buried in the New mexico landfill...
Comment: This is a great game in the arcades. But pales poor on the Atari 2600. I still have my Atari 2600 and both E.T. and Pac man and some other games aswell. I mostly now days play games and stuff on my Dell 8200 which as been upgraded some. Anyways did you know Atari's E.T. was one of the worst games produces, and about every one of E.T. games plus some Pac man games were returned, over whelming Atari, so Atari had a good bunch of its merchandis buried in the New mexico's landfill. This happen in 1983 when the so called 'crash of video games of '83' accured. Its all over the internet. and there's even a band called 'Wintergreen' that played in a music video about this story of Atari buring all its E.T. games plus some other games that did not sell. Atari produce ruffly around 5 millions copies of E.T., they thought it was going to be a big success just in time of the holidays, christmas of 1982. But it was a complete failure. Here's a link to the Wintergreen video about the dumping of E.T. games story of 1983--> http://[...] Just click on media player at the bottom right to view this cool video. Anyways back to the Pac Man deal, well its about like the E.T. game, dull and it gets old fast. Like I said, the arcade version was alsome though.

Summary: Old School Fun
Comment: Pac Man was and is an awesome game. It was the beginning of everything. Anyone who remembers opening their console on Christmas morning knows exactly what I am talking about. The only down side to the games of yester year is the crap that is produced now. Yes the game flickers and if you TV is too big you have to wait for the screen to move but SO WHAT! It is a fun and easy game to play that can be played for HOURS and any age group from the toddler in your home to your great grand ma. So to those who are dogging this game go back and respect your gaming history!!!! Without it you could not blow things up or hear bones break today.

Summary: Not a good game but would make a nice drink coaster
Comment: What Law said in his review pretty much sums up this game so I dont feel I need to add much. What Atari was making when concieved to market this pile of junk for a game I don't know. Yes as Law said there is terrible sound effects with the "Wonk" sound, terrible graphics and poor control execution, also the same map repeats itself over and over again. This game should be picked up by the U.S. intelligence agencies and used to torture people during interrogation. If you see this game say a prayer and walk away quickly because it is certainly from the Devil. The only reason I gave this game two stars was because there is some skill too it as the ghosts get faster and harder to escape, but that is being generous.

Summary: The start of Atari's downfall
Comment: Atari fans had big hopes when Atari scored the home console rights for Pac-Man. Pac-Man debuted on the Atari 2600 in late 1981. Sales were very strong, but fans were disappointed in the overall product with its VERY poor graphics, constantly flickering ghosts, the "wonk" sound Pac-Man made when he ate a "video wafer", the bleeps and bloops when Paccy ate a ghost/power pellet/special treat, the weird layout of the maze, and the notorious and infamous Pac-Man "death scene" sound effect. Atari proved that the 2600 could have a good Pac-Man game the next year with Ms. Pac-Man, but Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 was the beginning of the end of Atari's reign as the Video Game Kings.
