Besides Pac Man World (1,2,3), the only other "modern" improvement I've seen is Pacifi3d (emulator). Check out the screenshots: http://pacifi3d.retrogames.com/pacifi3d/ Personally, though, I think Centipede 2000 and Dactyl Joust seem the most interesting ideas for a remake. How about Pitfall 2000....oh wait they did make that.... There was actually a proposal for Space Invaders VR. I have the original document posted on my site. No details yet, haven't had the time, but plan to put the entire thing up for folks to read. You can check it out here: Jag VR Page Click the picture to see a larger shot of the proposal. The Centipede 2000 demo that was posted here a while back looked very promising. That would have been an incredible release. Also, Pac Man VR essentially is what a Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man 2000 would look like. It's actually quite fun, those ghosts startle you when you come around corners. 908399[/snapback]

Personally, I think the Alien and Marine are too difficult, so I prefer the Predator. I never had the patience to finish, though (got close with Predator twice or so). It'd take me about three hours to find the Queen again, and all those cocoons...eek! I tend to run in circles, so the linear travel of the Predator (kill everything, go to next floor, etc.) works best for me (plus has the best weapons and "honor" code stuff). I personally don't think any of the vision modes actually work except green (or maybe pink). Anyone actually use the "heat seeking" blue/red/yellow(?) mode? It's actually a pretty hard game, IMO.

Correct me if I'm wrong: I copied and pasted the averages and then averaged those 74 scores via GAWK and got 6.29988 out of 10 (which is pretty good, IMO, for any console). Obviously, this doesn't include the "N/A" and "28 D" scores, plus it's highly subjective anyways. Your list does show that people LOVE the Jag, though, since many games have high individual scores. P.S. The Atari Times review list of 76 Jag games averages to 69.0395% out of 100%. Do the math, indeed!

Super Pac-Man was ported to the Game Boy Color (on a two-pack with Ms.Pac-Man). So, keep an eye out for that on eBay if you really want it. Very odd indeed, since vertical mode was a Wonderswan feature. Pac Jr. is in licensing limbo. Midway owns the game, but Namco owns the name. Super Pac... I dunno why it's not showing up. 887177[/snapback]

This has happened before, supposedly with Klax for GameBoy Color, IIRC.

I beat this game a while ago (XBox), and you don't need to get all the tokens to finish it, but I (of course) wanted to unlock a bunch of stuff. I gave up after approximately 150 tokens (unlocked everything including the museum) because it's just TOO HARD! Why do you have to do a bunch of time trials just to get Ms. Pac-Man? I mean, really, has anyone actually unlocked everything, including Ms. Pac-Man??

Didn't you just have another kid? Hey, it doesn't hurt to think ahead for the future (Songbird and Son Productions). Not as fast as I'd like... but that's because I'm working on another Mystery Project this summer. And to distract myself even more, the annual Mini-game Competition has got me thinking about two different ideas for small, fun, and original arcade-style games. If only there were 5 of me to get all these projects finished... 888879[/snapback]

Are you talking about the arcade version? A few years ago I was addicted enough with SF2 (SNES) to try that (the SNES controllers aren't that bad, IMO)...and eventually succeeded (if he corners you, you're dead...blocking sometimes helped, Ken's fireballs and super uppercuts sometimes helped too...avoid jumping into his forcefield). I was disappointed that the ending wasn't any different, though.

Dragon's Lair (NTSC only? haven't barely touched it since I beat it, though) Blue Lightning (one of my favorite games for the Jag) Baldies (I love this game, but it is tedious sometimes) Braindead 13 (buggy but interesting: nice art/theme) Black Ice/White Noise (interesting even if a bit easy to get lost) Highlander (beat it years ago, nice game but seems too hard nowadays) Vid Grid (nice novelty, some good tunes, worth having, but slide puzzles are hard) Myst (nice but haven't touched in a year...and I'm SO CLOSE TO THE END!) VLM (play Tempest 2000 soundtrack or anything else for that matter) Painter (want it fairly badly, when will it be encrypted???) Native (only a demo, no sound, don't have it but looks cool) Ocean Depths (hey, don't forget this gem although again I don't have it yet) Eerievale (a must have when it comes out...in 2010!) World Tour Racing (don't have it but it looks cool) Hoverstrike CD (don't have it but looks good too) Battlemorph (some people say this one is the best Jag game ever; I don't have it) The VLM is less unique nowadays since other alternatives exist (Nuon, XBox 360), and some of these games can be gotten elsewhere. The only real problem (ignoring price and rarity) would be that it might break or wear out (since they aren't as mint as they used to be). If you already have a ton of Jag cart games, go ahead and get one. Otherwise, if you aren't a diehard fan, just skip it and get either an XBox or XBox 360 instead (w/ Live if possible). Yeah I'd really like a cd addon for mine, but I just can't see spending that much money for one. Is it really worth it? I mean for the fun to money ration I could go out and buy a ps2 for less. 888587[/snapback]

You don't need the Memory Track for Baldies or Myst, so it's strictly optional for those (besides, rumor says it takes up too much space for Baldies). Something like Highlander would be hard to complete without it, but you can beat Blue Lightning without it (I did, once) although it'd take half a day. Braindead 13 is just plain buggy (although an interesting game). I got frustrated and had to look up a walkthrough after a few crashes (and because I couldn't find the elevator...stupid mirrored "get the eye" rooms).

I already voted for my favorite (Ms., because I can't remember any others besides the way-too-hard original), so this is on behalf of my brother. He used to LOVE Pac-Land! I bought him a Lynx, but he eventually gave up because he said it was too hard (even with the 330ne cheat...which, BTW, is a zero, not an "oh"). Also, I read an interview with Christopher Lambert (Highlander) a while back in which he claimed affinity for the original.

The mighty Lynx was the "portable arcade," not the Jaguar (although don't forget NBA Jam:TE and the unreleased Total Carnage).

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, the site below tells how to play the original Pac-Man in the Ms.Pac-Man/Galaga combo. Easter Eggs

Good luck on volume 2. You can expect to pay upwards of $100 for a complete one that is working and hasn't been resurfaced. If you do find it, it is the only one to feature Super Pacman so it id definitely worth it! 874512[/snapback] The GameBoy Color actually has a combo Ms. Pac-Man/Super Pac-Man cart if you'd like a portable version. I saw one or two on eBay a while back, but I skipped it. It was about $20, I think, but might be somewhat hard to find. There's also a Pac-Man/Pac-Attack combo cart, too.

Kirby's Dreamland (original GameBoy) always runs through my head whenever I hear certain sounds.

It's hard to imagine Baldies or Alien Vs. Predator without the keypad. Besides, there have been a few rotary controllers (do those not count as third party?), so the Jag isn't completely bereft. No controller seems to be universally liked, though, and I personally find the normal Jag controller feels and works pretty good. O.T. I'm looking to buy a good, new XBox controller, any suggestions? P.M. me.
