pumbaaj Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Y'all: I don't mean to be blasphemous, but- Which game is better: Pac-Man (the Atari 2600 version) or Odyssey 2's "KC Munchkin". That's the game that Atari sued Magnavox over. I think KC Munchkin is more creative. You can design your own maze, and the characters were cuter and more colorful. I've been tinkering with my Odyssey 2 (which I bought for $20 new in box on eBay). I remember thinking , when I was a kid, Atari was much superior. Now, it's kind of campy to look back at the fuzzier graphics on Odyssey 2. (Did you know they made an Odyssey 2 version of Popeye and Q-Bert???

DuckandCover Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Well, I have to admit that I've never been a big fan of the 2600 port of Pac Man. Back in the day, one of my friends eagerly rushed out to purchase a copy when it was first released, and I was fortunate enough to go to his home and play it shortly afterward. A couple of rounds convinced me that I didn't want the cart. Yeah, I think that KC was a better game, although I've always felt that the Odyssey2 as a whole suffered in comparison to the 2600. (There were a few outstanding Odyssey titles: Quest for the Rings comes to mind.) Still, I'd probably take the 2600 port of Ms. Pac Man over either Pac-Man or KC. Atari got it right with that one!

NE146 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Oh yeah, it was always a given that KC Munchkin was a better game than 2600 Pacman. However, now with "A Better Pacman" the nod goes back to the 2600 imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree, I personally like that version of Pac-man more than all the others I own (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, JR. Pac-Man). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 K.C. Munchkin is the better of the two games that you mentioned. I remember that a friend of mine had that guy and I used to play it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Funny thing is, the guy who made A Better Pacman ORIGINALLY tried to turn KC Munchkin into Pacman. But he gave up after he found the Odyssey 2 couldn't produce the color yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
