MaDDuck Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ordered mine! It looks sweet, hope it plays as good as it looks. Long live Pac Man!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Linked to the store and ordered my copy. This is going to be one of the 7800's greatest carts now. I emailed my friend the link and he was like what the hell,they still make games for that system? He thought it was pretty neat,but a little weird. Not so much if you own and enjoy the system though,I love the fact that were still getting new games for this console. Imagine some NES ports down the line The more the better. The NES had so many good games,damn the possibilities. Abit off topic but I really hope that someday someone makes a 7800 version of Moon Patrol for the 7800,one of the best games ever to me.

Stories from that blog get posted to digg on a regular basis...I wonder how long it takes Namco to contact AA...Maybe they'll just leave us alone.

I thought the same, let sleeping dogs lie...But cool anyway This seems like, and always has seemed like, a silly idea. Stopping the sale of your games on platforms a lot of people own or could buy (i.e. illegal plug and plays, or PCs) makes sense. You could lose money there. However, the type of people buying PacMan for the 7800 or other games for the 2600 are going to also buy compilations Namco releases anyway. We love these old games enough to spend money buying them for dead systems; it will not take away from the desire to buy it on Xbox Live Arcade or in the, awsome, Namco GBA collections. I have a version of Bob's PacMan, NES PacMAn, 2600 PacMan, the GBA PacMan collection, spin off PacMan World stuff, and even PacMan World Rally. The only way this collection could impact on my decision to buy more PacMAn stuff is if Namco made me upset with them for punishing the homebrew community. 99.9% of people who would buy Namco PacMan collections don't even have a 7800 anyway.

Lord Helmet Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Sad thing is that Bob tried to get in touch with Namco...and they never gave him the time of day. It would be really sad if they decided to flex their muscle now, after they already had a chance to work something out ahead of time.

There's always the chance they didn't reply as a sign of them not minding it. If they gave him specific permission it could set a precedent that would not be good for them. However, if they just ignore it everyone is happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think NAMCO's silence is a good sign! They'll pretend it doesn't exist. In the grand scheme of the universe, it doesn't really matter to them. Homebrews like this are nice, but they will not make or brake NAMCO. If NAMCO wants to spin this, they could mention it as proof of the timelessness of their franchises and wear the "good-guys" badge. Heck they could even even include this in a future PAC-MAN compilation. What are the odds that they'll release yet another compilation??

MaDDuck Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Oh, one other thing..... forgive me for asking, I looked and could not find the answer, but are theses Pac-Man Collections built on Pokey boards? thanks, and I can't WAIT for mine to show up!!

PacManPlus Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks everyone @MaDDuck - this cart doesn't use the Pokey chip. I hope at this point Namco will just let it go (if they see it). I did my best to do the right thing, and after all, it is for a 20+ year old system... Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just ordered mine, and I certainly hope my money order arrives before Namco does something. I was going to wait til after Christmas to order this and the Satna Simon cart, but with news of this release getting out, I wanted to make sure I could get my hands on the Pac Man Collection. Hopefully it won't cause a stir. I've played a couple of the games on it via RAM cart and homemade carts, and they are arcade quality, IMHO. I do have a final question, though: For the completist, is this collection going to replace the number of single game only carts, or will the perfectionist still be able to order those as well? (This comes from someone who has Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet for the NES on three separate carts...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It is a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Cool. Now we have the "Official" Pac Man by Pac Man Plus for the Atari 7800. Your new cart looks better than the SMB multis anyway! Edited December 18, 2006 by shadow460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajoe Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Does the PACMAN collection work on a PAL 7800???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately, I'm not sure (but I don't think so). I had just made the screen jumps stable (with a *LOT* of Kenfused's help), and I didn't want to introduce any more issues.

Mayhem Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well I'll report on it when it gets here... though I do have an NTSC 7800 in case it does not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Does the PACMAN collection work on a PAL 7800???? Hi jawoll,es müsste auch auf Pal laufen.Habe es mit meinem Cuttle Cart getestet.Nur ein kleiner Strich am Rand ist zu sehen.Dieser stört aber nicht beim spielen.

+Mitch Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm not sure what Walter said but I just tested it on one of my PAL 7800s and it's playable but buggy. The sound and gameplay are both rather sluggish, the screen is centered too high so that you can't see the score at the top and there is garbage at the bottom. Bob, if you want to borrow a PAL 7800 for a month or so let me know. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just ordered mine too. I'd love to see a 2 player simultaneous version of pacman on the 7800 Maybe on the Deluxe version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess his PAL TV has some auto center feature that fixes the problem I had. I'm curious to see how it works for other PAL users.
