I worked at creative asylum as the lead character artist, working on main model / animations / extra levels / extra cut scenes. We were lucky enough to work with Minds eye who had no idea how to make a engine but handed us the project while they worked on the cut scenes. We pretty much smashed this project so much we decided to make extra levels, which were considered like tony hawk score levels. It was a good years work and we still reminisce over it, even for the lead coder wanting to convert it to unreal just so he can see it again in some new splendor. The team sadly dispanded after we worked on BATTLEBOTS, which got canned by THQ because the rights fell through for the TV networks. John Reynolds went on to work for UBI soft and then set up Tall studios. While the graphics coder Simon O Conner actually went on to work for Unity, which wasnt surprising seeing as the game was built for Nvidia cards and was used in their examples. The rest of us went on to work for local teams like Travellers tales (lego games) Sadly last year one of designers Sam Donohoe passed away - We miss you Sam.

The additional cut scenes although looking (REALLY REALLY woodern) were actually a homage to the original pacman cutscenes on the arcades. I actually used motion capture (from a mouse movement) to make them look like they where card board cut outs. the other cut scenes still make me laugh as they end on the cusp of a serious injury to pacman.

That "Pretty sick 100% Nitro Rad" video probably took more work than all of the "Comedy Clips" combined. I could've made all them myself in under 10 minutes with MS Paint.

Yooo, dude, I had this as a kid! It's weird because I can usually identify the stuff I used to play like instantly, but this one must've been a really deep memory because I only fully realized it when I saw the three Pacman balloons when Multiplayer was highlighted on the menu. For some reason, THAT'S what stuck with me about this game- the weird balloon menu thing. Go figure.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I do have a couple of answers about the game addressed in the video. In terms of the different difficulties, the ghosts become faster the harder the difficulty level is. It's not super noticeable until around Medieval A (the fourth time period you visit), but on hard, the ghosts are actually faster than Pac-Man by the time you reach Wild West B (the eighth time period), so that's when you need to be really strategic about eating power pellets and jumping. In addition, the frequency with which you're allowed to save is also changed. On easy, the game allows you to save after every level. On medium, you can save after the second and fifth maze of each time period. On hard, you can only save after every five levels. Finally, you start with five lives on easy, four on medium, and three on hard. Difficulty aside, the first person mode actually has its own category on the speedrunning leaderboards, where you play through all 45 mazes in first person mode. Like it was stated in the video though, it'd be crazy hard to complete even one maze like this under normal circumstances, so you're also allowed (and strongly encouraged!) to use the invincibility cheat during runs. Otherwise you'd be dying way too frequently to warrant it.

Finally, one I’ve played. I remember LOVING Pac-Man World 2 as a kid, and since my mom was a teacher at my elementary school at the time, I’d usually stay with her after school until she’d wrapped up her teaching business. While I was waiting, itching to get home and play World 2, I’d play this to keep my Pac-Man fever going. The monster in the pre-rendered intro still haunts me to this day. 😂

I loved this game as a kid, and I was super thrilled to see you reviewing it! I played it a lot at my grandmother's house whenever I visited, and I have many fond memories of it. The cylindrical and cube levels were definitely the most memorable parts of it.

Oh boy, Infogrames, the company had it's logo on alot of games in Europe, mostly european licenses like "Asterix & Obelix" or "The Adventures of Asterix" (which funnily enough had it's own Mario Party esque game but only with 16 minigames). From what I know Infogrames bought alot of companies from England in the past, and even bought Atari's copyright, when that was up for grabs and thus later due to the power of that name, used "Atari" instead of their old rainbow amadillo logo when publishing games. I was surprised when I saw the Atari logo on "Eternal Darkness" and thought, hey this company is still alive? But no, it was just a different company using that name for brand recognition.

I was about to say the same thing.

Those "Comedy Clip" videos gave me a short lived chuckle, since they reminded me of the cutscenes from BattleBlock Theater, where they did a similar moving cutouts thing for most of them but the player would actually WANT to watch them with how they were handled! That and William Stamper as the narrator in BBT and the writing put into not just the cutscenes, but the game too! If you played BattleBlock Theater, you might see what I am referring to.

"That big ol' flashing 'Blinky Approaching' kinda gave me chills" The way you said Blinky Approaching. Ha! I see what you did there

As far as I can tell, the "Comedy Clips" are meant to be... """Recreations""" of the occasional mini-scenes one could see in older pacman games.

it took me til 10:46 to figure out that he was wearing a boundary break t-shirt. I think that's awesome!

The difference I've noticed with the difficulty change was the jump bar and how fast it fills back up. Oh and save states

Man, I loved this game. I used to play this all the time and I wish I still had a copy.

I'm imagining a parody of that Comedy Clip in which he becomes large and makes the knight ghosts into ghostly pancakes - it's a part of an ego-inflating sequence sung by Air Man, and he flattens some other wind-affiliated robots in the process.

Yes! I had this on PC as a child, and was waiting for this video!

That was actually a pretty good reward. The nitro rad video game was super hard and all that effort put forth to 100% it was definitely worth it. 10/10 would do a flip.

Why are you just so nice to watch? Really genuine guy! Keep up the amazing work :)

I know you were making fun of the cutscenes but that clip you did of Jibanyan in a chicken outfit attacking the other plushies genuinely made me laugh. Much more than the comedy clips in Adventures in Time.

02:50 I never thought I'd see Infogrames working on a Pac-man game. If you want to know, they're from France. And apparently, they are known to be involved in really hard licenced games from the 90's.
