    Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 195: Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. Also known in Japan as "Hello! Pac-Man." Pac-Man 2 is a side-scrolling adventure game in the Pac-Man series. Instead of being a maze game like the majority of its predecessors, Pac-Man 2 incorporates light point-and-click adventure game elements. The Nerd is playing the Sega Genesis version. He joins Pac-Man exploring and interacting with the world and characters around him. Take on a task, and then take a wild ride on a mine cart or set off on an intense hand-glider flight while fending off some unrestful ghosts. This game was coined "the first ever interactive cartoon" by the game's manual.

      One of the things that makes the older videos so different is the music. The new ones mostly use stock audio, but the older ones used a bunch of old-school videogame music and chiptunes. It seems minor, and it took me a long time to notice, but it makes quite a big difference. I also think the older videos had more elaborate and exaggerated jokes, which is funnier to me. I still like the new videos, however, and since we're getting close to episode 200, James might be planning something big for that, so let's see what happens.
