Pretty much everything: the flickering and the altered map with misaligned dots is the most obvious change, but it's missing all the different value bonus items, the iconic sounds, and lots of tiny graphical touches like ghost eyes facing the direction they move in, or up and down sprites for the pac.
In short, it's severly cut down on all features, and poorly coded to boot (mrs. pac-man shows you can do better than this).
- Johnny555 7y agoI guess I was very forgiving back then... I loved Pacmac on my 2600. Or maybe it's because it was my first game purchase after "Combat!" (which came with the 2600)
- krige 7y agoI mean, I'm in the same boat as you. 2600 pacman is the only one I knew for a long while and I still kinda prefer the meaty beep sounds over the original sound effects. But for people who knew arcade pacman beforehand, the perception was obviously rather different.
