cuvtixo To celebrate a special collaboration with Plaion Replai and Namco to bring retro gaming fans the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition. Please read the article before getting outraged. I'm fairly ambivalent. Yay, they have slots for old cartridges to function, but two games? Two? for that matter, I'm not clear why not 5200 cartridges won't work. Is the connector really that different? They could easily put the 69 Atari5200 games into a single cartridge. Heck, they could put a whole gaming system in a cartridge, upscale graphics on all games, oh so much more! Cheap! I'm skeptical about the joysticks, I'd have to have one in my hands before judging. I suspect they're day-glow crap. Pacmac is 45 years old, this is just about an insult to vintage gamers, really. So, so inadequate. Reply

The controllers for the 5200 were legendarily bad, (look up a picture of one). Despite some decent games on the 5200 it did not sell well. Reply

Lamarr the Strelok To those that don't know,Pac man on 2600 was crap. The video accompanying the story shows the graphics of the 7800 version of Pac man. They are incredibly different.5200 was pretty close and it seems 7800 even got closer to the OG but the 2600 version was bad bad. Yahoogle some gameplay and see for yourself.(dare) Even at like 12 I was like nah bro, I'm good. I got quarters and the real deal at 7-11 a block away.Most games on it were pretty bad really. But,it's pretty incredible what they DID get out of the 2600 hardware. Many of you may be interested in that.Many of you more than me can appreciate what they did. And no. It's not too bright.Pac man doesn't mess around. We kneel at Pac man.The colored controllers are neat.Different colors are great. What color should they be? Intentional or not,OG pac man is a magnet for kids.I'm talking 2 years old.It's an irresponsibly cute game. I won't get it because I have the real one on steam but this would be fun to have for teh vibes.And even my 12 year old hands would cramp pretty quick too. And the 5200 controller is a controller you put in your hand and it has 2 buttons on each side and a wheel/paddle(?) that turns left and right in the middle of the controller. I didn't play that one much but I think I cramped up on that one too. OK. Point being the video that's with the video doesn't show the 2600 version but it looks like the 7800 cartridge does come with it and that has the better graphics. I assume the 2600 version comes with it too but…. oof.Hey. It was a stepping stone. Primitive but sorta revolutionary. I'm glad Atari seems to be doing good it seems. Reply

So, at least for coin-op players….this was stupid. Reply
