BigO Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think it was a well executed announcement of the release of a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have a feeling any proto that might have exsisted would not have been done nearly as well as this was. It might have been as good if it had been done by GCC. They did a darn good job on the original Ms Pacman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think that the aprils fools joke was really good! I didn´t believe the story untill I got some harsh pm´s from a nice moderator!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I agree with Gorf. Although it's great to find protos, having someone program a classic game today is always better. Less pressure to get it out the door. More pressure to get it looking like the arcade game (if based on one.). Better tools to create it, etc. Homebrews always come out better than games done back in the Eighties. Allan Nail on the head! No Sam Tramiel breathing fire at us to rush it out the door.

Had they finished the game yes, you are probably right but typically protos are anything from finished, especially this particular title.

Catsmasher Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 This is my first year on AA and I fell for it hook line and sinker (I didn't know any better). I even told my wife about this lucky dude that found an undiscovered game in some of his Dad's old stuff. "See there?" I said "All this game collecting can pay off!" I haven't told her it was a setup - she would just use it against me I downloaded it and played it on the emulator. Is there any thought to making a cart or putting it in the Pac Man Collection cart? Keep Playing! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 What Jr. Pac-Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Dunno guys, Bob did fix a couple of things in the original version of Ms Pac Man. I haven't played that cart since I got PMC. I think if he wanted to, there's not a 7800 game from back in the day he couldn't improve on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
