    vcs pac-man for me represents the dividing line between old atari (vcs) and new atari (2600). in the days before pac-man, just getting an arcade port on the vcs was a treat and people were mostly happy. accuracy was pushed aside and programmers instead pushed the unique qualities of the 2600 in ports of defender, asteriods and space invaders. pac-man took the same approach, but after pac-man was released, atari changed its strategy to more closely represent the arcade original.

    so if you compare pac-man to early games, the extra primitive graphics and sounds fit in quite well, and the game is well done. if you compare it to later atari games and activision/imagic/m-network/etc games, its not a pretty sight.

    Beleive it or not, I am a Pac Man freak. I own Namco Museum for PSX and Xbox, which contain Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Pac Man Arrangement, Pac Mania, and Pac Attack, I have Ms. Pac Man for 2600 and NES, there's a restaurant I go to a lot that has a Ms. Pac/Galaga Machine (which I also use the secret code to play Pac Man on there all the time), and I have Namco Museum DS which has, of course, Pac Man.

    So, basically speaking, I got Pac Man Fever.
