    10:50 spanish speaker here. Zapato is shoe. Zampatodo is kind of a slang word for someone that just eats about anything without thinking or being picky.

    10:45 Zampatodo can be interpreted as "The one who devours everything" since "Zampar" in spanish can mean "Devour", the word for Shoe is "Zapato".
    Amazing video nonetheless!

    16:17 That's supposed to be a sword lodged into the head of one of the skulls you get chased by throughout the game.
    21:45 The thief in Lock 'n' Chase is named Lupin, at least from what I remember. You're also intended to trap the cops inbetween two of the doors, preferably in the bottom left, bottom right, and upper right to score more points.

    16:27 That is supposed to be a sword stuck into a skull with its sprite cut in half. If you look at the skull sprites and compare that to the pinkish skull sprite slices in half, it will look similar, not to mention the eye socket shapes too in both sprites.
    They couldn’t fit the rest of the skull in

    11:19 I think I know that this is, you see arcade owners don't wanna buy new machines, so people make replacement kits for existing machines, so this is probably the galaxian pacman cabinet, explaining why the cabinet is white and why they had to remake the art.

    "ZAMPATODO" does not means "ZAPATO" (shoe). "Zampatodo" is someone that eats all (eats anything).
    ("Come" means eat. "Zampa" is a spanish vulgarism for "come").

    If anyone's curious, the Japanese version of Lock 'n' Chase, for the DECO Cassette system, makes it clearer that it's a Pac-Man clone, with the officers and the maze looking more like the ghosts and the iconic maze in Pac-Man, among a few other changes.

Two escape tunnels, otherwise it may have played like the original

    11:19 This "bootleg" was in the Namco lobby! You can see it in an episode of Game Center CX. So, does that mean it isn't a bootleg? I like to think of it as the prototype artwork, but I am probably wrong.
    Also, the most important, most sought-after bootleg is Pac-Man Deluxe, which was mentioned in Joystik Magazine and elsewhere (though not in Ken Uston's book). The main thing about that bootleg was there were eight monsters instead of four. Nobody seems to know where a cabinet or even a PCB might be found.

      Could you link me to your source or put any evidence (videos/photos) in the contributor's folder that I linked to in the description? As for the Horrifying Monstrosity (TM), I still think it's a third party art replacement kit. Many creators have expressed interests in the knock-offs of their creations. However, I think that you could be right about it possibly being official. Unfortunately, there's not much information that I've been able to find about it. Thank you for the information!

    When ever I think of any Pac-Man close the first game that comes to my mind is Mouse Trap by Exidy one year after Pac-Man in 1981. I love Mouse Trap for my Colecovision and the 2600. Still have it and still playing it.

    • @PacDragon
      @PacDragon  4 года назад +1

      Actually, Namco's been doing a lot. Mainly in terms of collaborations with other companies. Arcade1up, MyArcade, Basic Fun, and Numbskull have all made Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Edition arcade machines. Namco had the "Join the Pac" theme song made. They also released a Pac-Man Tamagotchi. They've actually done the most they've ever done this anniversary.
      Also, thanks! This video is gonna end up being a documentary. I barely scratched the surface of what I've found.

  • @guessundheit6494
    @guessundheit6494 Год назад +1

    If competitors were smart, they would have PAINTED the maze completely instead of clearing it ("you're posting ads, being chased by cops!"). Then they could tell a judge, "This isn't a pacman clone! This is based on William Hamilton's 'travelling salesman problem (TSP)' from 1832!" Good luck to Atari winning THAT lawsuit.
    Ladybug (23:30 onward) bears a strong resemblance to LadyTut, a game for the Apple II, C64 and other platforms. Walls could turn (self defence, locking in enemies, etc.), and you had a limited number of shots. Enemies were respawned a few seconds after being shot, but long enough to let you get through an area.

Since arcade games are usually one thing. Unlike consoles and pcs which developers could make many games for one piece of hardware.

    Freaking enjoyed this video.
    Being the alien I am I did love the art with the sexy lipped pacman with the roler scates that was androgynous. Hehe.
    BUT INDEED!! loved the video, loved the letter at the end. Holy shick! Pole Position was a game I had some funny times playing, especially when I started recording myself playing with added music and commentary recorded on vhs cassette tapes. very unorthodox my beginnings were. Still ate, hence the inception and Commissioning of Battleship RadioTV.
    But my gosh, I look forward to more videos from you good sir. Very good work. It Actually was helpful in aiding me discovering more story ideas as I flesh out these characters.
    Cheers and I cant believe it was almost a year sense you made this video. I'M LATE!!! AAAAAH.
    Loving all the pacman games, I enjoy playing Pacman5 which let's me battle 10 ghosts of Captain Shadow's army at the same time. Tis crazy. Hehe. Cheers friend.

I thought you were finally going to tell me what they are but then I see that you're just as confused about that one as I am. The only thing I can think it might be is a moth of some kind. When it's in the "standing up" position, it does kind of resemble wings.

      Honestly, I don't know. I haven't given up on it, nor do I have plans to. The main problem is the lack of time to work on this project. Also, more information about a lot of the bootlegs are continually coming out. Rest assured, I'm still working on it, and I hope that it'll be worth it!

      Why not release it in segments, as a series, and then as a finished product? Right now, it looks like your white whale.

    You have 4 different introductions to your video.

      Yes I do. I'm getting into the groove of things. After all this is my first video. I feel like I needed to introduce different things, therefore having multiple intros.

    I think spain arcade looks nice looks like a better version of the us but they still have that q*bert pacman mutant but why the fuck the ghost look fucked up
    Clyde & blinky error well spain has errors
    Color erros & clyde & blinky shit name error but with inky and pinky i bet they are blue becuse pacman eat the power pellet and blinky and clyde ( becuse some pacman merch in the 80s clyde was yellow and not orange so the yellow ghost is clyde in spain art idk the spain could put kinky and that will be fucked up)
    But hey cool art but i wish the artist play pacman and get the ghost gang colors and names right
