24Fanatic365 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Including hacks and homebrews, which game do you find you can't seem to put down? For me lately, it's Ms. Hack, or as my wife calls it, "Crack-Man", because the game play is so amped up. If you don't have an extremely responsive joystick, you will quickly be kissing all of your extra men goodbye. The cut scenes are really cool, as well. I saw the arrival of Jr. for the first time last night. The stork is just classic! I'd have to say that an extremely close second for me would be the newest 4k version.

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Jr. Pac Man!! Hard as nails, but such an awesome game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Mrs pacman. The only one I ever wanted to play on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Ms. Pacman. Had it and loved it as a kid. I am very impressed with the new version of Pacman that's being worked on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Either the original Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbeliever Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ms. Pacman is still my favorite. Has been for years and years. Never seems to get old and always delights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 2600 Ms. Pacman! One of my favorite games of all time.. and I specifically mean the VCS version apart from the arcade version (also a favorite). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 My favorite and most played is Pac-Man 8k, a hack by Nukey Shay. It's on the threads here and is great. It has the original VCS board design, but the proper colors and effects and even intermissions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillTX Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Right now I'm enjoying DINTAR816's new version. It plays smoother than Pac-Man4K and the AI of the 4 monsters is almost as tough as the arcade version. I also liked Nukey Shay's Hack'Em 16K, his version of Pac-Man4K with cut scenes, and also his enhanced version of Pac-Man Arcade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ms. Hack is one of the best I've seen on the 2600. Cutscenes just make that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ms Pac-Man and Pac-Man Arcade Enhanced are about tied for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army Of 2600 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Jr. Pac-Man, but Ms Pac-Man is a gem as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Plain old 2600 Pac-Man as far as that franchise goes. While I have superior versions available, I still have a soft spot for the original. But I must admit Lock n Chase has it beat for overall play time by a very wide margin.

famicommander Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I grew up with Ms Pac 7800 and Pac-Man NES so I never really played any of the Pac-2600 games as anything more than a novelty. I prefer to play games that were designed for the system itself on my 2600, as I have literally dozens of other consoles with more faithful versions of arcade games to play. The 2600 has always been for Pitfall, Yars' Revenge, Adventure, Combat, River Raid, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.O.T.S Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ms. Pacman. Had it and loved it as a kid. I am very impressed with the new version of Pacman that's being worked on though. I agree with Ms. Pacman overall but I am playing the new Pacman too which has I have said before is quite stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I play Jr. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Arcade equally. Jr. Pac-Man is tough as nails, but for some reason it keeps calling me for more abuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
