![]() ![]() ![]() People actually bought this, loads of people. ![]() And to think that THIS was the best selling Atari 2600 game and the best selling game of its time. Not only have I seen better Atari 2600 games, but I’ve seen way better ports. Pac Man deserved better and instead received a half-assed, rushed, piece of crap port for the Atari 2600. Really, I can’t even go on about how stupid a port this was. Lesson learned only emulate the Atari 2600. Luckily when I emulated it to get the screenshots I needed for this review, the controls worked a lot better when mapped on my PS3 controller. Through playing it again, I’ve noticed that either my Atari joystick isn’t a fan of me or the controls for this game are extra sucky. You’d think with the big joystick on the Atari 2600’s controller, that would actually be easy. And considering this is Pac Man, the only controls that you’ll need are really the directionals. I suppose you can’t really go on too much about lack of decent colors on the Atari 2600 now can you? Time to talk controls. The problem comes when you decide to port a popular arcade game to the Atari. Maybe I’m just a boring person, I don’t know. I also do love the Atari 2600, most people find it an incredibly boring system, but I enjoy it. It’s a simple game that has not only become a major pop culture phenomenon, but is still the king of maze games. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Pac Man! I used to play it at the arcade near my house as a kid all the time. And by that I mean Pac-Man for the Atari 2600. Luckily, I found not only a cartridge of Yar’s Revenge in good shape, but also a game that had tons of April’s Foolish Games potential. That’s a piece of crap, I came here for Yar’s Revenge. So popular that I had the merchants of those games even ask me why I didn’t want to buy that game. It’s not even surprising, because Pac-Man was a really popular game for the Atari. However, when I went to a flea market the other day to look for some more Atari 2600 games, just about every seller that had an Atari game to sell, also had this. At first I didn’t think I would ever come around to talking about or even playing this game again I’d worked to forget it’s existence entirely. ![]()
