Arcade Game: Jr. Pac-man (1983 Midway)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2015
- A maze game sequel to the classic hits: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, and Pac-Man Plus. This was the first "Pac-Man" game in which the maze is larger than the visible area; requiring the screen to scroll.
There are a number of hidden bonus objects that were never used by the developers. To see them, set 'CHEATS' to 'Always have blue ghosts'; play a game, repeatedly eat the ghosts until you get past 1600 points. The game was coded to deal with such high bonus values and assigns a hexadecimal value to the score value after 1600. The hexadecimal scores equate to a graphic in the game. After eating somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 ghosts consecutively, the hidden objects will appear. There is a rattle, a baby's dummy, a cowboy hat and a skateboard.
Note: Used Invincibility cheat after down to last life.

The technology was so new that the programmer had to explain screen scrolling to his bosses as they thought it was going to be a mechanical function of the cabinet. (The player moves? There are multiple monitors? Oh! The screen is on some sort of pivot!) So he drew the first map and made a cut out "window" and slid the map around past the window to demonstrate the concept.
Jr. Pacman walked so Super Mario Bros could run.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter I think Miyamoto was partially inspired by Pac-Land to make super mario bros, as well.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter Um, Mappy debuted before Jr Pac Man. And Mappy also scrolls left and right in screen as well. If anything, Super Mario Bros should thank Mappy for that idea.
@@retrofan4963 I think each game was crucial to the development of the sidescroller. Mappy scrolled, but it didn't scroll far in either direction and apparently the board wasn't built for hardware scrolling so some clever programming trickery had to be done to get the game to scroll left and right. Pac-Land took the idea of a "scrolling platformer" further and designed the hardware with scrolling in mind.
@@supernintendo182 Just to nit-pick a little: Levels in Mappy were actually considerably wider than the mazes in Jr. Pac-Man, and not necessarily symmetric.
I love how each Pac-Man game gets harder as the characters get younger. (Jr. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man in this case)
Just like in real life.
I know, right? We're first introduced to the parents, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, then Jr. Pac-Man features Bigger Mazes, and Baby Pac-Man, I have no idea.
I never realized just how aggressive the ghost programming was for this game. I mean I know it was pretty rough, but they get ridiculously fast after the first level. They really don't act like the other pacman games ghosts.
You can definitely tell this game was designed to be a quarter muncher. Especially with the later level maze designs.
Yeah not only that, but jr. pacman is just a tough challenge in general. The mazes are bigger, and scroll. The "fruit" (or whatever the item for the round is) bounce around and slow you down with pac-dots, and if not eaten, will blow up a power pellet. And power pellets are extremely low in this game anyway! After the 1st level, they hardly stay blue at all! I feel like this game was almost intended to be a challenge to pacman-lovers, and knowing how to manipulate the ghosts's path finding to your own advantage.
There's a website I play it on sometimes, and there's 2 versions of it if you wanna give it a try.
Normal speed version: www.retrogames.cc/arcade-games/jr-pac-man-11-9-83.html
Speed boost version: www.retrogames.cc/arcade-games/jr-pac-man-speedup-hack.html
I personally like the speed boost version more.
@@abluntuser940 An excellent challenge that still holds up well today
@@abluntuser940 Jawbreakers, not Pac-Dots.
@@Mmacrossfirekenai man hitting stage 3 feels like i have any skill in the pac-series at all. This game is hard. The fruit blowing up the power pellet is the most horrifying thing to witness x_x
Fun Fact: The music that plays before the game starts is from Ms Pac Man, coffee break 3, where Jr first appeared.
I don't think that's true. (Corrected from original post) The theme between Ms. Pac-Man 3rd intermission and Jr Pac-Man intro is similar enough to be related, but you would also be forgiven to say that they're different. I think you're right, tho, that the intro was definitely based on that intermission.
It's true, It says "ACT 3
Junior" then the stork drops him.
@@Virtualboxandlionsfanchannel - Yep, the cutscene itself is not in question. The theme between the two scenes is similar enough to be related, but I wouldn't call them the same.
@@KieferSkunk cool, huh?
Yum-Yum is the most obscure Pac-Man character I've seen in the Pac-Man series. Seeing her only appearance in Jr. Pac-Man, she is the most obscure characters in Pac-Man series history.
Clearly you’ve never seen World 3’s characters
@@NES-ml3by we’re talking about obscure characters who are barely acknowledged, Ghostly Adventures is not in that criteria
@@NES-ml3by do you know what obscure means
It’s so cute! They’re both so innocent, they don’t realize they are to be bitter rivals
I love how the ghost don’t even try to attack him and just walk aside him.

@@yurikendal4868Makes sense as on other games Pac would die.
This one needed a continue feature. An excellent challenge for the serious player. The Root Beer maze is a killer
This is the version I remembered as a kid. I remember when I played Pac-Man for the first time, I was really disappointed because the screen didn't scroll and it was the same map over and over again. Took me a while before I realized that it was Pac-Man Jr. and not Pac-Man that I was impressed with so so long ago. :D
jr pac and baby pac were the ones i was into. baby pac had a whole pinball game attached. loved that stuff. pinball petes, alladins castle, gumball express and chuck e cheese. damn...
Same

This is the first arcade game I ever played and I played it a LOT. They had a machine at my dentist office that was free to use. My family of 4 would all get checkups together so while one person when on the dentist chair the rest of us were grinding this absolutely brutal game haha. Later on we got a gameboy color that had pacman which was kept the fix between dentist visits but og pacman has nothing on junior. The first 2 levels of pacman are free. In pacman jr you're a gangster if you make it to level 2 haha.
When Bally Midway released Ms. PAC-MAN in 1982, Namco gladly adopted the game, as PAC-MAN needed a wife. However, it was games like Jr. PAC-MAN and Baby PAC-MAN that led to Namco cutting all ties with Bally Midway.
Wait. Why does Pac-Man need a wife?
@@trejohnson4760 no clue lmao
As far as I know it was Professor Pac-Man that drove them over the edge. Baby Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man were novel and they were good games but Professor Pac-Man quite simply sucked balls. It was a crappy edutainment game.
@@Framed_Niner - I believe officially it was Jr. Pac-Man that was the last straw for Namco. Most everyone agrees that Professor, Baby, and Mr/Mrs were all total garbage, but I have a soft spot for this one.

I'm surprised they were able to get smooth horizontal scrolling working back in an 80s arcade tbh. Just look at how fluid that scrolling looks
The NES came out in 1985 and Super Mario Bros was the pack-in game. That was smooth scrolling on a scaled down home version!
You could get smooth scrolling like this on a couple of the 8-bit home computers of the day. You needed dedicated video hardware to do it. Also could do it on a couple 16-bit computers of the time.
In fact, here's an Atari 8-bit version of Jr. Pac Man (unreleased) showing the smooth scrolling board.

Did you know: When Midway made this game, Namco were angry at them for creating ANOTHER Pac-Man clone without permission again! They were made when Midway did Ms. Pac-Man and the same occurred, but Namco accepted it as Pac-Man needed a wife(I believe)
Midway didn't make Ms. Pac-Man.
"General Computer originally made the game as a modification kit for the original Pac-Man, titled Crazy Otto. Following legal action with Atari, GCC was forced to present the project to Midway Games, the North American distributor of Pac-Man, before release, who purchased the project."
Also *was not were.
They also used the Mappy arcade cabinets they had laying around, making an already rare machine even rarer. makes me pretty mad, I've wanted to get my hands on a Mappy cabinet for years and I finally found out they butchered them for this.
So is this why the ghosts names aren't the same names from the original? Did the people at Midway forget about that, or didn't bother to notice?
Midway ceased its partnership with Namco a few years later

17:01 "They Escape!" is my favorite intermission.
I would really love to go back to the arcades in the future.
Yes
Yeah, but nowadays the classic games are RARE.
Silverreploid CLE yeah iwonder what they looked like back then
One of the fastest and most extensive Pac-Man games I've ever played, as the boards are HUGE and Junior and the ghosts move really fast.
I didn’t realize Jr PAC Man existed until 2000 when I bumped into the machine at South of the Border.
This became my favorite game of the PAC-Man Franchise.
It’s sad this game isn’t available for the Switch like PAC-Man & Super PAC-Man are.
So I finally got to play this game a couple of days ago at the bowling alley I was at. It really is a fun game. I don't ever remember playing this as a kid. The cabinet this game was in was one of those multi-game cabs with like 30 games in it. The only bummer was the joystick was REAL bad, making split-second turns nearly impossible. I would love to have this at home!!
This game was the hardest Pac Man of all. I used to play this at Golf Land in Stanton, Ca.
IMO Baby Pac-Man is miles harder.

Yeah who's Tim LOL
Jared Ball He is renamed tim. in ms pac man he is sue.
Clum
It's a shame this never got re-released. I feel it's the best one out of the original trilogy.
The "fruit" on this game turned rogue. It makes the dots bigger and destroys power pellets.
I do remember this version of Pac-Man. Only seen it once at an arcade I only been to once. It is a much harder version because of how the mazes change each time they are cleared and the way they're designed.
I wonder why Clyde got renamed to Sue in Ms., and to Tim in Jr.? Was it an attempt to make more ghost characters? It sort of worked for Sue I guess since she’s now purple, but what color is Tim supposed to be, brown? I know in Sandbox Evolution he was turned into a peach color, but since the original Jr. Pac-Man game made him a darker orange and not brighter, I feel as if he should be brown.
Anyways, Namco needs to seriously get their crap together and finally start re-releasing this game again, or at the very least for arcade machines like Pixel Bash and the Arcade1Up’s. If they can get Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Plus, then they can do Jr. Pac-Man too. It’s not like he’s out of limits anyways since he’s been in the Pac-Man World games, among other things. Ms. Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, Sue, Tim, and Yum-Yum all need to make more reappearances too. I don’t care about any of the original characters they’re trying to come up in shows like Ghostly Adventures or their Pac-Stores or whatever they’re called. Even characters like Orson, Spooky, Miru, and Kinky would be better. But I guess instead of respecting their own games, Namco would rather make more new ones that nobody cares about. They just don’t want to admit that Midway also made good Pac-Man games I guess, and forget the ambitions of Pac-Man World 1 and 2. It’s no surprise to me that they pretty much stopped making good Pac-Man games altogether for the most part not long after the merger with Bandai other than the Championship Editions. Such a shame... :(
Yeah, constantly re-releasing the original Pac Man even on the same consoles- let's say like if you happen to see different games that come with it, is absurd. The arcade Pac Man is just that, but let's say like on the Switch they put out Namco Museum, Arcade Archives, and now coming up is Pac Man Museum+ - Arcade Archives has that High Score Mode, Namco Museum has that Challenge Mode and comes with some other games harder to come around- same with Pac Man Museum+, but I'm telling you, as someone who owns a Switch and admittedly wants some of those other games, one arcade version Pac Man, especially on the same console, is just enough for me- regardless of those other minor feature changes- because I'm telling you, chances are I'll only want to be playing the game straight up.
And now Namco cutting more corners and not even paying for the Ms. Pac Man character, just because AtGames owns it now, is not acceptable- because I know they will make well past whatever amount it costs just to get all of the royalties. Having other variants of the Ms. Pac Man character, ain't always the worst thing. However, going as far as editing older games that featured her just to cut corners, is disgusting. Besides, I'd rather Ms. Pac Man, Jr. Pac Man, and even Baby Pac Man, all be paid for, always. And putting this game, and Baby Pac Man, out on more than one console. By the way, even more releases of Pac Man Plus, and hey, the very similar Ms. Pac Man Plus, I'll tell ya, put em on one of those Arcade1up Partycades and maybe pack em with some unrelated games that aren't the originals again in that form,
And not another of the same Galaga and the same Dig Dug either-
Here we go, Pac Man Plus Partycade- 10 games- Pac Man Plus, Jr. Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man Plus, and then they pick the other 7, wouldn't even care if it costs a little more, but that size is perfect, and we got ourselves a deal, 3/4 Sized version too- Jr. Pac Man cabinet, those same games plus maybe the console Pac Attack and at least one arranged version on there like other comps, and THEN an arranged Dig Dug, and that's good business. Thanks
It's worth noting that Namco has only ever tacitly acknowledged Ms. Pac-Man as an official title in the series - they did release it and license many ports of it over the years, but it was with great reluctance since the company basically had to admit that they didn't actually create it. Namco is a proud Japanese company, and they are NOT known for publishing or even accepting third-party stuff.
And in that vein, they have NEVER officially acknowledged Jr. Pac-Man, nor any of Midway's other unlicensed games (Baby Pac-Man, Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man, or Professor Pac-Man). So we can't really get on Namco's case about not "re-releasing" it, because they never released it in the first place, and they haven't ever taken it on as a first-party property. Midway is gone now, as well, so they're not in a position to do anything with it either.
@@KieferSkunk Which is absolutely ridiculous. I know it was out of reluctance for Ms., but they should admit that Jr. is a good game too and give it the proper recognition it deserves. I’m not saying that Jr. is the best game in the series or anything, that’s an entirely subjective opinion since the original, Ms., and Jr. are all different, but it’s definitely extremely underrated all just because of their refusal. I’m not even asking for them to recognize any of the other Midway games, (I can easily see why they want to leave Pac-Baby and Professor Pac-Man behind since they have a bunch of problems) I just simply want Ms. and Jr., that’s all I’m asking for. Plus is interesting too, but it’s just a ROM hack that just so happened to be officially released by Midway, so I’m not so sure why Namco is so proud of that all of a sudden and not Jr.. *This whole situation makes no sense.*
@@bolivwx 10 games for a Pac-Man themed compilation? Easy, those can be:
1. Pac-Man
2. Ms. Pac-Man
3. Jr. Pac-Man
4. Pac-Man Plus
5. Super Pac-Man
6. Pac & Pal
7. Pac-Land
8. Pac-Mania
9. Pac-Man Arrangement
10. Galaga (Since they like to include both it and Pac-Man on literally everything)
Obviously it would just be more preferable to have as many Namco themed games as possible on one official physical arcade cabinet, but if it was to only be Pac-Man themed, I’d do it like that.
If not though, my choices would probably be somewhere among the lines of:
1. Pac-Man
2. Ms. Pac-Man
3. Jr. Pac-Man
4. Super Pac-Man
5. Pac-Mania
6. Galaxian
7. Galaga
8. Dig Dug
9. Mappy
10. Rally-X
I’d *still* want more games than those, like Xevious, Pole Position, New Rally-X, Gaplus, Galaga '88, Bosconian, and the other Arrangement games just to name a few, but again if it *had* to be condensed to just 10 I’m the style of an Arcade1Up machine, those would be my main choices. Besides, all 10 of those games are essential and have significantly important historical value for Namco themed arcade games, let alone Namco and arcades by themselves in general. Is it objectively the best list? Probably not, but it’s still better than most of Namco’s compilations and re-releases today. And wether Namco likes it or not, both Ms. and Jr. had a lot of inspiration for future titles in that franchise. Even the once unofficial made now official NES Championship Edition demake take some cues from Jr. did with the scrolling maze. Hell, going faster in of itself is also inspired by ROM hacks and ports that did the same thing.
The point I’m trying to make is that if even a company like Nintendo can hold onto characters and franchises made for the likes of Donkey Kong Country and Mario Tennis from other developers, (Diddy Kong and Waluigi being the most notable examples respectively) then Namco should lawyer up and take back the games made by Midway as well, or at the very least Ms. and Jr.. They were the ones responsible for officially giving Midway the Pac-Man license, and by the time they were stripped of it those games were still made. And of course, they still occasionally re-release Ms. and Plus sometimes, (I know for Ms. it’s even more reluctantly by now thanks to AtGames but still) so why they don’t do the same thing for Jr. at the same time as Ms. I have no idea, especially since those are two games are without a question the most similar to the arcade original without outright copying it, both in terms of graphics and gameplay.
@@ZacharyDietze As I understand it, there are several reasons why they can't/won't recognize those titles as canonical to the series. From a legal standpoint, Namco-Bandai would now have to purchase the rights to those titles from whoever took them over from Midway, since those games were technically made in the US and Namco didn't have a presence here at the time, thus no legal claim to them. And with Ms. Pac-Man in legal limbo right now, that's even more of a problem.
From a series perspective, I may be wrong on this, but I don't think Namco ever established any sort of canon that Pac-Man had a family. This stuff about being married and having at least one kid was all Midway. To take these games in implies that Namco supports this idea, and for whatever reason, they may not want to do that.
0:45 Pac:Welcome Pac Jr
Ms.Pac:Yay
Pac jr: Mom Dad
This game, along with the other Midway 'Pac-Man' games are the main reasons why Namco decided to cancel the license for Midway to make Pac-Man games, all for reasons unknown. As of now, it is unknown who owns the Midway 'Pac-Man' games.
The reason for the license agreement being terminated is actually well known: It's because, frankly, Midway was abusing that agreement and creating new games in the franchise without Namco's permission or blessing, and as one reviewer put it, some of the games were frankly so terrible that they could have ruined the franchise. Professor Pac-Man is usually the one people point to as being not only terrible, but nothing like a Pac-Man game, only using the character as a way to draw attention to what was otherwise a pretty bad quiz game.
Baby Pac-Man is the other one most people deride for two reasons: (1) It was both a terrible version of the maze game AND a mediocre-at-best pinball game, and (2) It was notoriously hard to maintain - very poorly designed and built.
Namco was right to terminate the license agreement. Had they continued it, they would have been tacitly accepting these games as part of its own franchise, and thus been subject to whatever damage to that franchise those games would have brought. As it is, these games do live on in the memories of people like us, and the fact that we're even talking about this stuff goes to show just how much damage they DID do to Namco. These games have been a thorn in their side ever since they came into existence.
That said, it really is too bad that they didn't take on Jr. Pac-Man, as this one is actually a pretty good game. But given the nature of copyright law and such, it's very understandable. (Why didn't Namco sue Midway? Because Namco didn't have a presence in the USA at the time.)
Who the Hell is Tim? I thought the orange ghost was Clyde?
it is clyde
Then why the name change? What's he trying to hide? Is he hiding from the government because he didn't pay his taxes? Is he incognito because of Interpol? Has he skipped on child support payments? Whats the deal man!?
DevilFish69 On Ms. Pac-Man he gets the Caitlyn Jenner treatment and is known as Sue.
In other games they make him green.
Radiant Penguin that’s funky
This game needs to be brought back with some minor adjustments like new cutscenes after their escape and new inorganic items after the root beer mug
Saddest Pac-Man death animation ever
i love pac man jr and yum yums relationship sm its insane, i wish the two were together more :, [
August 13, 1983-enter jr. pac man, a beanie wearing tyke eyeing on yum-yum-blinky’s daughter. And soon, misadventures ensue. A cult favorite, nonetheless.
The pellet eating sound is satisfying.
For me, same. Heck, it even helps me sleep. :)
The energizers sound just like Mommy’s, but with a faster pitch
You really died to avoid using the power pellets...
Why?
But why, why would you do that?
IKR? You have six at your disposal!
Fun Fact: While Ms. Pac-Man was gladly accepted into the Namco universe, Jr. Pac-Man wasn't. This game, along with Baby Pac-Man, wound up seeing Namco cutting ties with Bally-Midway.
i'm 50 years old. And till this day I'm STILL waiting for modern compilations (Pac Man Museums) to add this game into the mix. OR just simply release it for $5 or something. Why is Namco ignoring this title?
Oh god the credit noise scared me XD also...Jr Pac is going through ghosts in the second level..........really dude?...
I fantasized of Peter Noone, Simon Cowell and David Letterman getting so amused of saying something like, scary blue ghosts.
I enjoyed watching popular games evolve like this.
Ok, I like this opening because someone would think that the last ghost would be called,"Clyde" and not "Tim", however now knowing that Tim was used to replace Clyde just like the ghost Sue replacing Clyde as well in Ms. Pac-Man makes alot of sense now considering the entire Midway and Namco situation back then.
Just knowing even a little bit of the whole Pac-Man Lore is just intesting to me!
There's a lot of debate about why it was just Clyde that got switched around. Blinky, Pinky and Inky were just as recognizable (if not more so).
But, interesting fun fact: Pac-Man is the American release of that game. In the Japanese Puck Man, the ghosts had Japanese names that translated as "Chaser", "Fickle", "Ambusher" and "Stupid", respectively. Midway officially came up with the English versions of those names, so at least in their minds, they had more leeway with how to name them in their sequels.
Also, it's been reported that Clyde being renamed to Sue for Ms. Pac-Man was an attempt to make the game more appealing to women - nice to have a female rival to the player character, right? Perhaps Midway adopted "Tim" because that sounded more kid-friendly than Clyde.
Back when times were human unlike today that is not
This one doesn't seem to get the same recognition as the first 2 which is a shame.
>>Big yellow ball shows up at your door with a bag of power pellets. "You called for an exorcist?"
I wish that they would make a Pac-Man anthology using original arcade graphics and mechanics. It should include Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Mania, Jr. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Pac-Land, and Baby Pac-Man although I don't know how the pinball part of it would be included. Just something to think about.
They would have to pay the original creators a ton of moolah for half of that, that's why you can barely get Ms. Pac-Man on any new Pac-Man/Namco collections.
@@TritnewNG That, and he also forgot Pac & Pal
@@TheCoolEevee Well, Pac & Pal wouldn't be a problem to port over since Namco owns that game.

I hope not, either. Jr Pac-Man is too innocent
This is the one I was talking about Jr Pac-Man arcade1up needs to make this cabinet along with Miss Pac-Man
Thanks for uploading it.
From Clyde in pacman, to Sue in Ms. Pacman, to Tim in Jr Pacman! Weird, huh?
fun fact: the mazes are 2 times as wide as those from other pac-man games
Another fun fact about that: Technically speaking, the maze data is exactly the same size as the mazes in Pac-Man. The data comprises one half (left half, I believe) of the maze, and the other half is simply mirrored from it. Simple but effective trick. If you were to take screenshots of the game scrolled all the way to the left and then to the right, and stitch them together, the symmetry would be easy to see, and if you did that with the kill screen (which in this game causes mostly empty space with some lit pixels forming a sort of "starry sky"), you'd quickly see a perfectly symmetric "arch" at the top middle.
17:30 that looks like mew from pokemon
My favorite game in the pac man series! Junior would have been a bigger hit if it had wider distribution.
Have you played the Atari 2600 or the 5200 home version? They did an excellent job of porting the arcade into a cartridge. Too bad that the Jr Pac Man games for the Atari consoles didn't get the exposure that they deserved.
+Skylinesandsunsets
No I haven't. I only played the arcade version.
Thank you! One of the best ports on the 2600 I thought. WAY better than original Pacman.
The 5200 version was never officially released but two prototypes of it had been made available in recent years.
Nice job! I love your game play of these pac man games. And could you do pac mania?
I love the fact that Clyde is re-named tim
How does one enable the invincible cheat?
This game got a Genesis port in the form of pac jr a mini game on pac man 2
Am I the only one who thinks the death animation is sorta creepy in this one?
I'm surprised that this game was originally going to be in the Pac-Man Plug N' Play from 2009! Did Namco start tolerating this game, even though it was removed? Just curious...
Is there any truth to this?
Actually from 2006 but it is unfortunate that it wasn’t added
16:24 this ghost sound sounds like a UFO
Call me old fashioned, but I don't think Pac-men should be hooking up with ghosts. It ain't natural.
That was kinda of creepy
I like calling it baby pac-man for some reason, even as a kid.
Even though she’s actually a character......
There was a baby pac man also, but it was a pinball game combined with a video game.
1:19 this can be pac-man's alternate victory theme in smash

PACMAN IS SO CUTE
Originally, it was going to be released in stores as a plug-in play t.v. before, but it got cancelled.
The game is more fun if you don't disable the ghosts. If the ghosts aren't a danger, then you might as well not have them.
0:00
Does anyone know why arcade games do that when you start them?
I think its like a debugging cycle
Similar to booting a computer... BIOS in the game looks for everything and makes sure it is working for operating condition before the system starts the actual game ROM
I think it has to do with turning on the computers inside these machines, however I'm not too sure because I am only 12 and I never got to have experience with arcade machines. However I still love these games.
Yeah, that's the same question I had in this video: m.ruclips.net/video/4CDVshu9a4U/видео.html

_Casually_ just turns on god mode on his last life...
I love how Jr. Pac dies. More than Pac and Miss Pac.
Where do you find Jr. Pac-Man? I want to play it.
Go to this website. It works... I have Jr Pac Man.

Japan
This is all I have, sorry if my ideas are bad.
Either go to an arcade and look,
Or go and buy a machine.
@@tryhardheavy I don't think this was released Japan (I'm not certain but considering Ms.Pac-Man wasn't)
@@Quartzer. my brother told me when he visited Japan there was alot of Jr pacman
I did not know you can walk through the ghosts in the game.
17:08 || Shoutout to Ms. Pac Man... one of the world’s best moms ever!
My goal was to make a dollar last all day. Watched these games, but got evel knievel up to 40 credits...sold this for 2 dollars...wow. At the bowling alley. 1979.
Do you know where I can play this ?
Junior Pac-Man is invincible so the ghosts will never hurt him? Of course! Why haven't I thought of that before?
The map is wider, and other Pac-Man Games should have that!
How do you start playing this on the Internet Archive? I am having trouble trying to start playing the original game on the Internet Archive.
I don't understand--in the balloon stage how is it possible that PacMan Jr has several instances of going right through the ghosts and he doesn't die from being touched? Is it just a glitch or is it a special rule? EDIT: Nevermind, i didin't see in the description that he used the invincibility code.
He's Here! Jr. Pac-Man! The Arcade Hit From Namco! Ghosts Can Run, But They Can't Hide From Jr. Pac-Man!
Pac-Man:”That’s my boy!”
11:30 He went through the ghost
@@Mr.BlueSun yeah
Where can I play this?
That's strange I've never seen this game before Jr Pac-Man maybe I should play this game and see if I'm good at this
what is the cheat code you used?
Wait - how come the ghosts don't kill you later on? Some glitch or code?

@@jussaracardoso7334 What?
That game has the biggest maze.
And the most difficult ones.
Well, kids love to run😊
I was going to make a comment about the trike bonus item, but Junior here doesn't have arms or legs, so his eating a trike makes way more sense than riding it.
You should get the big pellets whenever the ghosts are on your tail.
Am I misunderstanding something, or do the ghosts not kill you, in this one?
They do like in previous games. The player likely used cheats, but having played this myself I don't blame them. The game is trickier for the bigger mazes alone.
I like Pac Man Jr.
