SoundGammon Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The best Pac Man for the 2600! Just wondering if they're going to put it on cart? PacMan Final.bin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 The left difficulty changes the border to a darker blue in A position. The right difficulty changes the speed! A = Faster! Fire button starts & pauses a game in progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Faster? I want that! One of my favorite things about arcades was many had a speed chip mod, which imo made Pac Man say more playable (probably screwed with people's "winning pattern" too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Pac could go either way and be fair since it's harder. But Jr. Pac is so slow and big and difficult that the fast mod is practically a necessity.

SoundGammon Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Unlike the speed-up chips for the arcade version, this one speeds both Pac Man & the ghosts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGHMW Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I also downloaded this and it also includes an arcade-style opening as well as a different font for both the score and the "READY!" and "GAME OVER" titling but other than that and the other mods mentioned it's basically a souped-up (and graphically better) version of the already-released Pac-Man Arcade, maybe this might be a prime candidate for a review of on a future episode of "The Atari Report - 2600 Edition". .....and speaking of which I will be debuting the latest episodes of each 2600 and 5200 Editions of TAR tomorrow it's just that I am a bit burnt out physically (80+ degree weather today here at BIGHMW.com World Headquarters here at Bishop Park in Port Townsend, WA) so I will be doing the voiceovers tomorrow morning when the weather cools off a bit.

Prizrak Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Comparing other Roms I have it seems that is Pac-Man 8KSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiu Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 My emulator identified it as Pac-Man 8k, too. Even continued a previous game of it I had going. I don't think it's on cart, for fairly obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
