I love pacman although I'm not very good at it and mostly play unofficial versions (pacman 8k & paku paku specifically).
It's surprising how Atarisoft messed up the controls on that DOS port (every port?). Travelling in a horizontal direction and pressing up or down before there's a path to do so makes Ms Pacman reverse course which is frustrating when you're being chased by a ghost and press the arrow key too early. It's a basic thing and not something the 2600 port suffers from.

The only Pacman game I can really have fun with nowadays in Pacman arrangement, which was on the GBA Pacman collection. None of the other traditional maze chase games of his do it for me at all.
That said, the Phillips Videopac had a brilliant Pacman game. There were only twelve pills - two regular and one power pill in each corner, if I remember rightly, but it had a level editor, which was amazing. Has any Pacman game since then ever had one? If not, I wonder why.

Edit: you can get brand new sealed copies of Beast for around £20 on eBay.

Although, Rygar and Toki are much more fun overall. They're easily 'must-haves' for the system.
I have a modded Lynx II with a new screen, so I'm not sure how games look on the original screen. I guess it's just a case of having a darker, blurrier image.Last edited by Leon Retro; 07-05-2019, 01:18.

The original Ghostbusters was a great move. I was 10 years old when it came out. I actually saw it at the cinema back then. Then came the cartoon show, The Real Ghostbusters. I loved the first season of that too. Then came the game. Well, to those who lived in the US. In the UK it was quite a rare cabinet and in Japan it wasn't even known as a Ghostbusters game. Funnily enough the game got a few ports. Let's check them out.
