mr_intv Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Ok, sorry if this has been discussed prior, but I was just going over my collection. How is PacMan officially classified? It was released by Atarisoft and Intv Corp. Is it 126 releases but only 125 games, after the title screen and cart design, the gameplay is exactly the same isnt it? Would it not be counted as 2 releases if seperate developers (Home brewers) released it today? I think instances of MLB Baseball, Big League Baseball And Baseball are still just 1 release as they are all the same game by the same company(Mattel). Does that make sense?

+Steve Jones Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Its considered 1 release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Oh no a can of worms has just been opened..(we have been through this years ago)but I go by the official amount of release's during the commercial run of the intellivision life span. (not counting regional or rebranded for region or brand name examples CBS,Sears ext) I have always insisted its 126 as you can see from my signature..

mr_intv Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Would not both companies be credited with a release though? Im thinking that releases and games are something different. 126 releases but 125 games. Edited February 9, 2018 by mr_intv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Its considered 1 release The question is who considers this one release and what make them the authority to deicide its one release. Just asking and just because one person out of everyone involved in the Mattel ,InTv , Intellivision inc say's does not make it so.. That's my opinion not meant to jump on anyone else's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Would not both companies be credited with a release though?

mr_intv Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 If you take all the game companies that released games and add them up, you do get 126. I have to rethink everything I ever believed now. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
