Super Pac-Man - ahbeef

Ойындар

Namco's true sequel to Pac-Man finally hit arcades in September of 1982, but it changed the gameplay formula quite dramatically. Does it still hold up, or does its radical shift from what made the original so special leave it as a relic of the past? This video takes a closer look at Super Pac-Man!

    1:10 pac-man floating is actually supposed to represent pac-man flying over the ghosts (that's why the ghosts stretch when you grab a power pellet)

    Maaan I missed you bro. In an age where video game reviewers venture into other comedic ventures and drown in vpn sponsorships it's nice to see someone (esp you) still around making serious yet entertaining reviews that are fun to watch.

    I've found that eating the Power Pellet after the Super Pellet, you will shrink when the power pellet wears off so sometimes your super power will be longer when you use the power pellet although when the power pellet change back is less than the super pellet, you will turn back sooner

    the bonus points are based on the maze number. The first maze awards 200 points, the second maze awards 400, then 800 then 1600 points. for matching pairs you will receive 2000 points although if the pair matches the fruit for the round.

    The fruit sound in this game is actually reused in the PMW games as the Pac-dot sound

    I actually remember playing the arcade machine of this game and loved the different approach. I'm really glad they added it to Pac-Man Museum+.

    i don't dislike it but it's still probably my least favorite intermission music of all the arcade games (except for maybe pac-mania's)

    When it first came out, Super Pac-Man was a moderate success but not a monster hit like Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man before it became forgotten for many years until it came back for the home market with Playstation's original Namco Museum Series in North America. The Japanese version of it did not have Super Pac-Man 🤔 but fans showed the love and it really came back with a punch for companies like Arcade1Up.

    I appreciate that they at least *tried* to make a different game for its sequel while keeping some of the familiar elements. I still prefer Ms. and Jr. overall much more as direct sequels, but this is still a good spin-off or spiritual fourth game. (I say that because this is actually the third not counting Pac-Baby, but I don’t think anyone will be mad if I don’t count that, and Jr. is just too good for me to ignore like most people sadly already do) Pac & Pal is okay too, but I like Super more simply because it’s more dynamic and frantic, whereas Pac & Pal is a lot slower and puzzle-like, more so than even Super.

    you do realize, there are patterns for this game, just like any other pac-man. i've gotten to a million on 3men+2 extras. its actually not that hard. you seem to think every game is too hard. you don't seem to be very good at these games, or haven't played them much. search around youtube and you will find more gameplay, and perfect patterns. do your homework first. later || | | | || | | ne gative1

    Haha that is me for sure. I can't get any farther on original Pac-Man today than I could in 1980. 😂

    Completely agree almost every one of these videos he says he has a hard time with them. I'm not a fan of following patterns but this Pac-Man is definitely one of the easiest. Dude has a hard time with pac-mania.. Ooooooooooook....
