If Pac Man for the Atari 2600 Was Released Today

The YouTube user with an outrageously lengthy username “Rich “Lowtax” Kyanka – Gaming Garbage” has attempted to re-envision Pac Man on the Atari 2600 as if it were made today.

Then it will still be epic. You can't go wrong with the classics.

One of my fondest memories as a child. I got this game for my birthday and my father stayed up all night with me playing this together. Ya I dated myself right there.

If it was released today it would probably have either an ea or an ubisoft logo on it.

In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.

I can't wait to get this. Day one

That would have been ideal

In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.

It’s odd they skipped the 5200

mastershredder309d ago

So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
