Pac-Man games that stick to the original formula. Championship and the two collection games are great fun.
Thing is, Pac could be a great mascot for Namco. I imagine he could be an appealing, popular character if they were willing to put effort into. OK, you got a character, now the rest. And that's what lacks. There's not really a unique or interesting world, well developed character etc. Even in the World games don't have environments that make the games stand out. Their just cool games a fan of platformers will enjoy, but it goes not further then that.

I also noticed Pac-Man never has a same villain. It is different one in every game.

Re: Off Topic
Mr Sakurai won't add Pac-Man to the roster of Smash Bros. Trust me. He said that Namco-Bandai had no priority, even if they are co-developing the game. Also, there are many parameters involved. The character must have influenced in the history of Nintendo... AND, but be a possible transformation for Kirby. How can Kirby become Pac-Man? he can't become yellow, because of the recolors, and it's not like Pac-Man's weird eyebrows are that iconic.
Re: Off Topic
I am actually glad, because if Pac-Man was in new SSB, it would be lame "kiddy" version of Pac-Man instead of one from World Series. At least, Capcom put right Mega Man design in SSB.
Re: Off Topic
Well I can imagine the World design would have been one of his skins.
Re: Off Topic
Well, if X can be Zero's skin in MVC3, It could work for Pac-Man. As for Kirby transformation, I can actually imagine that. Kirby changes his eyes to black pac-man shaped ones, and attack is throwing power pallets and pac-dots.

It's like the Rabbids... it's a random sexual joke, but instead of funny, it's freaking awkward. Also, can you take a look at the stage and tell me that it looks more creative than the new Pac-Man game? Oh yeah... beautiful grey floor.
Kirby has black eyes already, and all of his transformations are costumes or hats. What you say is not enough.OldClassicGamer wrote:Well, if X can be Zero's skin in MVC3, It could work for Pac-Man.

Re: Off Topic
World is, like I said, enjoyable if you like platformers, but I don't think anyone will place the games in their top 10. I do think the games have better visuals then the new pac-man so far, though.
What do you mean with that?OldClassicGamer wrote:I know right?sergiomonty wrote:beautiful grey floor.
Re: Off Topic
But Kirby's eyes are not pac-shaped. I said they should turn in Pac-Man's eyes when he is transformed, and as for hat, He can have Pac-Man hatsergiomonty wrote:Kirby has black eyes already, and all of his transformations are costumes or hats. What you say is not enough.

OCG, kid... you seem to be soooooooo in love with Pac-Man World, and you say that this new generation of Pac-Man ruined yours. What if I told you that YOUR ridiculous generation of Pac-Man "World" ruined MY generation of Pac-Man.
Huh? huuuuuuuuh?

Re: Off Topic
Nah, I don't really dislike Pac-Man World...I'm just saying, I don't know, it's just a franchise that shouldn't have evolved. The Championship games are AMAZING, but the adventures and spin-off... well, they're "okay-ish"... I don't know, I don't feel like they are particularly funny or hilarious.
I remember having this obscure Pac-Man game as a young boy:

It looked interesting but... bleh, wasn't the big deal. It got repetitive pretty easy and the ending was anticlimatic.
I remember enjoying this one for a while:

It's not as good as Mario Kart, but its gameplay mechanics seemed fun enough.

I liked Adventures in Time as a kid. I probably wouldn't as much today.
Re: Off Topic
Pac-Man World Rally had awesome soundtrack (Retro Maze Remix FTW!!!)
As for the other one, I remember playing it and It became very boring.
Have you played Pac-Man All Stars?

Re: Off Topic
Thank you for reminding me of that awesome song.
Speaking of Pac-Man and Fever, I ordered today Pac-Man Fever for PS2. It seems to be Mario Party clone by gameplay I saw, but at least, it used Old Pac-Man design and characters. I will give you my opinions on the game when it arrives. It was really cheap. Only 2.50$

Re: Off Topic
Anyone remember this site? Apparently two people left one post on it after years, and one of them was T-Minor. Huh.
