+davidcalgary29 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Can someone comment on the quality of this game? Several sites (ok, vendors) list this as a "must-have". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I only have the 5200 version but I assume they're identical. If so then I'd say it's a must have. It's awesome and very close to the arcade version. If you liked the arcade version then you'll like this version. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Pretty good translation as I remember, though IM not a Super Pac Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 My experience with it is the difficulty seems to ramp up a lot faster than it did in the arcade. But a great translation notwithstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Phantom Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I like both the arcade game and the Atari 8-bit version. The only drawback is that seeing all those treats in the maze stirs my cravings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Excellent version. Best of all, it is complete, unlike many unreleased games. A "must have" ? If you are Pac-Maniac, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGuy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 One of my favorites! I used to play it quite a bit, and still load it up from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent57 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 One of my faves for the 8-bits. Once you get past the fact that it doesn't quite look like the arcade game, you'll be in for many hours of fun. Playability is excellent and I would agree that it is a "must-have". Still can't believe this was never released for the 8-bits...yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't believe this was never released for the 8-bits...yikes. I read the story somewhere on the net. The programmer, Landon Dyer IIRC, worked on it during the time of the Tramiel takeover. The good part was that he was really left alone during the chaos. Without a real deadline he spent time perfecting the program. Just shows what can be done when a progammer is allowed to complete and refine his work. The bad part of course was when he left, Atari just let the whole thing slip through the cracks, apparently unaware of what he had done.

mos6507 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I thought there was a bug in Super Pac where you could get into situations where you could not unlock all the barriers, hence a dead-end in the game. I know I got stuck along those lines when I last played it. Maybe I just sucked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
