Atari Pac-Man was terrible, but my dad loved it. My first Atari (along with that game and many others) ended up in the closet throughout the 80s. In the early 90s, while I was playing SNES with all of my high school friends, my dad pulled the Atari out of the closet to "show us kids a real game". Apparently he had grown up on arcade Pac-Man in the 70s, and found the Atari Pac-Man to be much more difficult and therefore a worthy challenge.
