First Pac-Man game comes over to Steam...

[atlantis1982]

I don't think there was a Smash TV remake, since the one that was on XBLA was just an arcade port.

Yes, but I believe it had modern day features like online multiplayer, etc...

Oh. I misunderstood "update" as in it was a remake. Sorry.

This music is so amazing...

The 2600 Pacman is one of the worst ports in history.
Pac Man is good, but Ms. Pac Man is the very best, it has the random behaviour of the ghosts.

Yes, we know....DPW was kidding about it.

Good call on Ms. Pac Man.

One more month until it launches on Steam...I can't wait

I had a Pong system first.

Ahh yes, PONG.

I was always partial to Super Pacman, but in my old age, I can't control it now. I like playing the turbo versions of Pacman and MS. Pacman, though.

CE really is awesome.

If you want to play Pac-Man, or Mrs Pacman, emulators deliver. The NES versions wil likely suffice, meaning they're on par with the original arcade version.
I'd be much more interrested in Jeff Minters excellent 30-year aniversary tribute to space Invaders, called Space Invaders Extreme.

Pac-Man DX is a great, amazing game IMO


And I actually hate Pac-Man, the classic game. I don't think it's ever been a remotely good game, it was simply at the right place at the right time, with a simple concept anyone could grasp.
But all those patterns you have study, learn and repeat to get a real score? Get outta here...

In Ms. Pac-Man's case I'm more fond of the Genesis/SNES version, which has different maze sets to choose from, and the Pac-Booster.

As for Space Invaders Extreme... I don't think it was Minter's concept. IIRC Minter only did the background effects for the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of it; all the others (and its sequel) were developed by Taito themselves.

5 more days...the wait is killing me...

I already have this, but I think I'll repurchase it once it's down in the 2-3 dollar range. I'm lazy enough to spend a couple semolians to not have to get off my ass and plug the 360 in, but not ten.

And I always enjoyed the 2600 version of Pac-man as a kid. Still do, in fact. Until the Internet, I had no idea it had such a bad rep.

For anyone who's played DX: how is the additional content?

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

The demo is available now, just for a taste of what's to come. Check the Store Page!

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

Speaking of which...

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

[Pinballwiz45b]

I love this course....
