This now sounds exactly like the Pacman I used to play back in the 80's. I even threw in a few graphical enhancements to add authenticity.

Enjoy!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!


Very cool

Nice.. I like it. This is like the evil twin of Nukey's 8k Pacman hack.

I didn't have anything better to work on so I decided to throw this together. Thought it would be funny to combine the excellent 7800 graphics with the horrid 2600 sound effects. I threw in a couple of the 2600 graphical quirks for fun.

Pretty good. But use arcade sounds!

Huh? These sound effects are perfectly re-created from the 2600 version, which is universally considered to be the best Pac-man port ever created.

Now you just need to make a Voice Enhanced ET with clips from the movie!!! LMAO

Fun stuff. So that's what the 2600 version would like like in higher resolution... lol The eyes were a nice effect, although a little too realistic...

I hope your kidding.

If your serious, you could order a custom 7800 cart from the AA store. It's a standard 32k rom. You would need to provide your own label. I never made one for myself.

Anyone have some screenshots? I'm curious what the 2600 style graphical "enhancements" look like!

I will be ordering a custom cart, thank you!

It was mostly an animation change so it wont show up in a screen shot.
1) The monster/ghost eyes rotate around in a cicle regardless of what direction they are heading.
2) Pac only faces left or right, even when going up/down
3) Pac's mouth is always chomping, even when stationary
4) Pac has a dot for an eye.

If you havn't tried it in emulation you really should. I ripped the sound code directly from the 2600 rom so it sounds exactly like the 2600 version.
