bradhig1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Did this ad air on TV? I only remember the version with gameplay footage. Wouldn't Atari get in trouble for false advertising with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Collector Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Typical unscrupulous behavior from Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't Atari get in trouble for false advertising with this? I remember at one point they started putting disclaimers on the game boxes that the game may differ "slightly" from the arcade version. Atari did this kind of stuff all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvingnator Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 This is the storyboard version. That is a mockup and does not represent the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundGammon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I remember the description in one of the Atari catalogs: "Differs SLIGHTLY from the original"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the 0:11 mark, Pac-Man eats a power pill and the ghosts all change direction and run away. That does not happen in the Atari version. They run away, but they have to turn the corner. They're not able to do a 180 like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari PAC-MAN Fan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 This one will always be my favorite. They false-advertised in this one too. They changed the sound effects to the ones from the arcade version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
