Although the controversy didn't really bothered me personaly, the way you guys hadled it really deserves praise, specially considering the matters involving the sponsor of the original video. Keep up the good work.
The Pac-Man version played on the jumbotron in that footage was the Atari 400 computer version. It looks clearly superior to the sad 2600 version and you could see the computer next to the TV in front of the boy.
@@gswanson Possibly. The 5200 is directly based on the 400 line, the same version of Pac-Man was made for both and they look identical. It probably depends whether the competition was setup through Atari's console division or computer division. Hopefully it was the latter, that would have been a miserable competition if everyone had to use those awful 5200 joysticks.
@@jesuszamora6949 Definitely and I can confirm that. The one and only day I got my secondhand 5200's joysticks to work, my time with Pac-Man was not at all working out well with those things.
@GenesisGems He lied about his high scores. Threatened people and companies with lawsuits when they had facts about his lies (Not a hypothesis about it but cold hard facts). Tried to sued people that presented those facts and practically forced them to either lie or keep their mouths shut. He is a manipulative and horrible person. Simple as that
@GenesisGems No. It was about a Donkey Kong score but he is a bad person overall. I should add that he sued as well Cartoon Network for Regular Show that had a parody of him but CN won that.
I remember when the original video got so much backlash because of the Billy Mitchell stuff. Thank you for listening to criticism and editing this video.
@@tyghcoderxtreme8839 Don't worry, you're not missing much. The controls are really awkward and the gameplay slows down a lot when you're close to a ghost.

There actually exists a version of Pac-Man where level 256 can be completed! For the game’s 35th anniversary, a plug-and-play system was released featuring a version of Pac-Man where the player can reach Lv 256 and complete it. It was even one of the big selling points on the back of the box.
2:00 did you know there's another "765" easter eggs in some Namco games: - default lap records in Ridge Racer games always ended with .765 - Pac Racing Club cars from Ridge Racer Type 4 and Player's cars in R: Racing Evolution are numbered 76 - radio station named Ridge City FM 76.5 MHz in Ridge Racer V - one of RRV tracks is named Seaside Route 765 - idol agency named 765 Production in Idolmaster - population of Oured, Osea's capital city in Ace Combat 5 is 7.65 million - there's an achievement in Ace Combat 7 where you have to fly a total of 76,500 km in the campaign
Did You Know? Pac-Man’s alternate artwork for his Fighter Spirit in _Super Smash Bros. Ultimate_ is actually art from his limited cross-promotion in the mobile game _Sonic Dash,_ which was itself based on Pac-Man’s fighter artwork for _Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS._ It is unknown why this specific art piece was chosen, given Namco’s involvement in the game’s development
At 5:55 The "largest Pac-Man convention" is touted as the infamously rushed Atari 2600 version of the game being played on the jumbo screen, but the footage shown looks more in line with the Atari 5200 (?) version. Could someone please provide some clarity about this?

The NES version has no kill screen, but to do this, the game simply repeats one level afterwards over and over to avoid the kill screen. However, this one level in particular still has some power pellet frames whereas the last few levels before 256 has the power pellet last only one frame. It's also hard to tell what level exactly because the fruits on the round counter are all keys.
Thank you for the removal of Billy Mitchel, but I will say your sponsor is not good for gaming at all. Nothing is yours, and you're giving them 15 dollars to essentially "borrow" a game which is not downloaded onto your device. That means if they take the game off, it's off for good. Not good for preservation. Will be keeping my ROMs and GOG.com account for my games, thanks.
Streaming in general is such a stupid idea, but I don't know how this nobody company plans to make money. You know damn well they're not going to get the Nintendo library, nor Sega, so there's very little that's going to draw people in to begin with.
As probably one of the most important characters in video game history, it's kind of weird that the Pac-Man World games aren't talked about as much lately. It makes me sad because those are some really great games. I remember World 3 in particular having some very interesting atmosphere and mechanics, yet it is barely talked about and got average reviews... I also think Pac-Man World is kinda similar to games like Super Mario 3D Land/World
* Cough * * Cough * Pac-Man World is 3D World before Mario 3D World came out 14 years later Pac-Man World 2 is just Crash Bandicoot I'm probably the only one that relize World 2 is just Crash Bandicoot the levels are designed to be linear which is fine but whenever I come back to play World 2 I just keep seeing Pac-Man as Crash I can't get over it Pac-Man World 3 is more open to explore which is my favorite by the way I love it Pac-Man World Rally yeah back then my first Kart Racer was CTR (Crash Team Racing) on PS1 and I didn't know what the hell a Mario Kart was until I got my DS years later I love World Rally my kid self usually call it a good CTR clone yeah I'm probably the ONLY one that said CTR clone instead of Mario Kart clone
The president of the United States calling someone for getting the highest score in a video game is so funny to me. I wish that was still a tradition that existed.
Well, Reagan was never known for his smarts. At least he didn't steal credit like what Donald Trump would do if some other kid boasted about his high score.
People who claim that Mario is the most iconic video game mascot, while debatable I always felt Pacman is more iconic as Mario is only known by gamers while Pacman is known by the average person.
@@SYS_Alberto said “crash” only took place in north america, it was never a thing worldwide, and it’s said to be the result of E.T. Not Pacman, further more, Pacman 2600 was still a big hit in most countries.
I disagree. Pac-Man is a phenomenon for anyone who knows of arcades but as far as worldwide pop culture, Mario is the video game equivalent of Mickey Mouse, not just because of how popular his games are. Which character has the merchandise? Which character is featured in mobile gaming? Which character is starring in his own theme park and movie? In short, he's instantly recognized by kids and adults even if they don't care about video games.
@@jlev1028 Mario only appeared in one movie based on video games, Pixels, however Pacman appeared in so many others, he had a cartoon before any other video game character and his simplistic design made him super popular among kids gamers and non gamers. Also, having a theme park doesn’t count since that was made by Nintendo thenselves and not based on popularity, SEGA made a mini theme park for Sonic too before, SEGA Republic.

As probably one of the most important characters in video game history, it's kind of weird that the Pac-Man World games aren't talked about as much lately. It makes me sad because those are some really great games. I remember World 3 in particular having some very interesting atmosphere and mechanics, yet it is barely talked about and got average reviews... I also think Pac-Man World is kinda similar to games like Super Mario 3D Land/World
* Cough * * Cough *
Pac-Man World is 3D World before Mario 3D World came out 14 years later
Pac-Man World 2 is just Crash Bandicoot I'm probably the only one that relize World 2 is just Crash Bandicoot the levels are designed to be linear which is fine but whenever I come back to play World 2 I just keep seeing Pac-Man as Crash I can't get over it
Pac-Man World 3 is more open to explore which is my favorite by the way I love it
Pac-Man World Rally yeah back then my first Kart Racer was CTR (Crash Team Racing) on PS1 and I didn't know what the hell a Mario Kart was until I got my DS years later
I love World Rally my kid self usually call it a good CTR clone yeah I'm probably the ONLY one that said CTR clone instead of Mario Kart clone
We need a new Pac Man World game. My favorite game to play as a kid was PMW 2
The president of the United States calling someone for getting the highest score in a video game is so funny to me. I wish that was still a tradition that existed.
Without the controversy and the large portion of the video being dedicated to Billy Mitchell this video is so much better now
So basically a kid randomly said “yeah I totally have like, 6 million points in Pac-Man” then freakin’ Ronald Reagan believed him
Regan: Finally I'll have someone to beat Gorbechev's Pac-Man record.
Well, Reagan was never known for his smarts. At least he didn't steal credit like what Donald Trump would do if some other kid boasted about his high score.
On a side note, why is there like no info on the chain of restaurants Billy Mitchell owns?
People who claim that Mario is the most iconic video game mascot, while debatable I always felt Pacman is more iconic as Mario is only known by gamers while Pacman is known by the average person.

Pac man is form the old testament (the crash of 1983) and mario is form the new testament of gaming.
@@SYS_Alberto said “crash” only took place in north america, it was never a thing worldwide, and it’s said to be the result of E.T. Not Pacman, further more, Pacman 2600 was still a big hit in most countries.
I disagree. Pac-Man is a phenomenon for anyone who knows of arcades but as far as worldwide pop culture, Mario is the video game equivalent of Mickey Mouse, not just because of how popular his games are. Which character has the merchandise? Which character is featured in mobile gaming? Which character is starring in his own theme park and movie? In short, he's instantly recognized by kids and adults even if they don't care about video games.
@@jlev1028 Mario only appeared in one movie based on video games, Pixels, however Pacman appeared in so many others, he had a cartoon before any other video game character and his simplistic design made him super popular among kids gamers and non gamers.
Also, having a theme park doesn’t count since that was made by Nintendo thenselves and not based on popularity, SEGA made a mini theme park for Sonic too before, SEGA Republic.
4:30- now this I never seen in the original Pac-man?
I think a "Did You Know Gaming" video about Godzilla games, or kaiju related games in general would be interesting. Please consider.

This whole video is Pacman... But without scammy speedrunners
You could have mentioned the GPS idea was repurposed on Google Maps during that one April Fool's week
