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 ancient quick. Like I said, the arcade version was alsome though.

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 sports meeting, and MAN! I like the sound effects of Atari 2600 better! The eating of pellets and potential pellets, and ESPECIALLY when Pac Man crashes into the ghost monster. I like 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!

Atari fans had huge 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 by and large 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/potential pellet/special treat, the eerie layout of the maze, and the notorious and infamous Pac-Man “death scene” sound effect. Atari proved that the 2600 could have a excellent 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.

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 selected 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 quicker and harder to escape, but that is being generous.

This seller did not leave accurate information. The game did not work. We finished up having to buy another PacMan from a different seller. You suck!
