Also on a couple of stages you can push back a cactus or tree stump to get the helmet. There are also a couple stages where you push back a tree stump and get invisibility for about 10 seconds. And returning home, push back a hydrant, cactus or tree stump for a set of ballons, one of which is a 7650. If you get the correct colored balloon for a 7650, then all remaining balloons captured are also 7650. And a couple stages where Pac-man is returning home you can sometimes get an 'S' for an extra Pac-man. You have to rub against the cactus as you jump with your super shoes, or rub against the cliffs with your super shoes. I always wanted a bonus stage or two on Pac-land where Pac-man could try out the different vehicles the monsters use.
@La Von Hawkins Pac-Maze is great and all, but I prefer Pac-Land simply due to the obscure factor. Not many people outside of the big Pac-Man geeks know about Pac-Land, so giving it some more exposure is really cool imo. It would have been nice to have a remix of the Pac-Land theme to go along with it, though.
(TG16 version) Blinky, Pinky, and Inky all mind their own business in their cars, but Clyde TURNS around when he drives past Pac-Man! What is his problem!
@@AdriaticTokoru bruh I can think of good games by tengen like Rolling Thunder, Gauntlet, and Tengen Tetris and you gotta tell me they developed a poorly game on the famicom?
Interesting: Some versions reproduced the scrolling of the original, even down to the parallax scrolling. But other versions just settled for a "slideshow" approach.
Update this to include the Arcade Archives and Pac-Man Museum+ versions. Although both versions are virtually identical to the original arcade versions, there are two minor changes that some may not notice. Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man were both replaced by Pac-Mom and Pac-Sis. This is because of Bandai Namco's ongoing dispute with AtGames for the Ms. Pac-Man trademark
Goddamnit AtGames Sucks They Released Multiple Terrible Terrible Plug And Plays They Also They're Own Terrible Sega Genesis Mini After Those Minis Failed So Hard Because It Had 40 Original Games By Them And It Had Terrible Terrible Audio Quality God I Hate Them When They Do Stupid Stuff
Little bit of trivia: the US version of Pac-Land was modeled after the "Pac Man" cartoon at the time (which is why Chomp-Chomp the dog is in the opening screen, US Pac Man's nose is shorter than JP Pac Man, and why the Pac Family have hair/blue bow (US Baby Pac)--JP Ms. Pac Man has no hair, and JP Baby Pac is female with red bow). Also, JP Pac-Land has an ending, US Pac-Land keeps cycling through levels.
I like both US and JP Pac-Man, and I think the reason why the JP Pac-Man is more used is that Hannah Barbera haves the rights to Pac-Man's design on the cartoon
@@kajioukun They do but when Namco wanted to do a US version, Hanna-Barbers were open to Namco using the US designs. When they did “Pac Man: The New Adventures” they did a rework where the first kid was “Jr. Pac Man” (aka “Pac Baby #1”) and Pac Baby #2 was the daughter. One could argue the US Cartoon came just before Ms. Pac Man told Pac Man she was pregnant again.
I didn't know the NES version, that was... Unexpected ! I also didn't remember the Amstrad CPC version, which looks quite good, had no scrolling, totally ruining it. I think I played it a couple of times on some compilation but I never really liked this game. It was probably great for the short time before Super Mario Bros appeared.
@@theimortal1974 From what I've read, this game was only ported officially to the Famicom. Nintendo built early Famicom cartridges with little storage space to keep costs down, so Namco probably had to cut down on graphics to help make this game fit. The Commodore 64 also had a lot more onboard RAM to work with than the Famicom (64 KB vs 2 KB), which Grandslam probably took full advantage of.
My tip for the Famicom version is that you gotta have two controllers plugged in. Push start on the first player controller, and use the second one to play.
@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOYThe arcade version of Pac-Land didn’t have joystick controls, and it used buttons instead. Tengen wanted to replicate this, for some reason.
@@cyanthelouie An 3D Modeling Software for Windows, "Anim8or". It's free and It doesn't take much Space, pretty much every computer can run it, I think even Windows XP.
This could have made for a fantastic port on the Atari 7800. Early 8-bit era platformer, I'm stunned it didn't happen. Pre-Super Mario Bros. (1984) Homebrew idea!
I should mention that the port of Pac-Man to the Famicom was done in 1985, before expansion chips like the MMC1 or even the Famicom Disk System released... hence the extremely primitive graphics. Maybe Namco should've waited a bit longer on that port...
i dont quite understand the unanimous hatred for the famicom/nes port. i think it's main problem is rly just the color which is kinda unavoidable due the the famicom's hardware as evident in a lot of namcot's other ports and a lot of famicom games at the time that are ports of similar, colorful arcade games. i think making pac man small was a good call too cause if u notice that the other 8bit ports have pac mans head big but with practically no legs and waddling around on lil feet while the famicom port has him small but still with legs like the arcade. i think the game also controls pretty great and some of the graphics are pretty nice(i like the simplicity of the houses and the blue and green hills in the bridge levels) but i also agree that they couldve made a better port especially with things they cut out like the scene of the fairy giving u the boots and removing pac man's family and the door to the fairy land -_- i think its a pretty decent port considering how early it came out and that it obviously cant compete with the pc engine port, it looks different enough and has its own lil charm. like compare it to the port of yokai dochuki on famicom and pc engine where both look similar to the arcade but because of that there's like no reason to even ever buy the famicom port if u have the pc engine since its inferior in every way since its a direct imitation of something that the pc engine can and does way better.
The NEC PC-800 even has parallax scrolling, I'm surprised! Also the Atari Lynx has, but that's a different thing, it's a quite powerful and 16bit system...
1. Arcade: It's perfect as always. Pacman's face is cute, especially at the end. He has little nose and a little red hat. 2. Arcade (Japan): Pacman's face is not that cute. He has big nose and a bit larger brownish hat. I prefer the non Japan version. 3. Sharp: Very good, it's almost identical to the Arcade version except the picture is narrower and Pacman has big nose. (which I don't like, but it's not a big problem) 4. Playstation: It's like the Sharp version, but the picture size (also the resolution?) is smaller. But, Pacman has little nose. 5. TurboGrafix: Really good, but it's not that good like the previous versions. The background has simplier graphics. The game area is zoomed. 6. Atari: The scroll is not really good, the enemy sprites are different, the audio is ok. Pacman sometimes smiles. It's better than the Amiga version, which is rare! 7. Amiga: The scroll here is also not really good, (bad for an Amiga), the graphics are identical to the Atari version. The audio is not the real one, but it's ok. Pacman has only one face, which looks angry. 8. C64: Very nice for this machine. Pacman has face expressions in the different situations. The sound could have been better. 9. NES: It's good. One of the smoothest scroll. But, Pacman's face is always angry. 10. NEC: Less colors would have been better. The graphics are a bit ugly this way. Pacman looks not really kind. 11. Amstrad: No scroll. (better off without that) The sounds are not any good. The graphics are ok, a bit dark though. 12. Atari Lynx: It has a too low resolution and because of this, the graphics are a bit ugly. I think the developers did their best though. It's not that bad, if you can stand this pixel face.. :) 13. MSX: It's like the Spectrum version, but somehow it's better. 14. Spectrum: Usually the worst version. But, it's not that bad game on this machine.
The Amiga version could have been as good as the arcade if they hadn't have done a crappy ST port... theres no excuse for slow shakey scrolling when the blitter could do it without breaking a sweat, especially as something as simple as that game.
Some of the ports were criminal mind, I remember firing it up on my amstrad as it was one of my fave arcades as a kid, and, yeah, loaded it up, had a play, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC within a minute I think, if that long... Never played it again! Hats off to the TurboGrafx-16, they nailed it, and I still play it via that emulator in OpenEmu! :)
Does anyone know if you can get the new hat by pushing the hydrant on the 8-bit computer versions? I played the speccy one, and I had no idea that you could get that item
Arcade (US): the one we like 10/10 Arcade (JP): like the US version, but pac's nose is bigger 10/10 Nes: the graphics are a bit bad, but the music is good. Btw, where is pac's nose? 7/10 Nec pc 8001: all the sprites are ok except for the road, it makes my eyes burn! Btw decent music for this computer 6/10 C64: good graphics and music for the commodore 64. 8/10 Amstard CPC: game is slow and starts getting slower if more than 1 ghost is on the screen. Also because of the limits of the computer, it does not have sidescrolling 5/10 Amiga: good music in start, but this game is underwhelming for what can the amiga do, and the music is slow. 5.5/10 Atari st: similar to the amiga, but chiptune music. Better than amiga since it is not underwhelming 7/10 TurboGrafx 16: it is like the original arcade one! 9/10 Zx spectrum: good old speccy. only yellow, blue and black. But the music is like the amstard one and like the CPC, it does not have sidescrolling. Good for the speccy 6/10 MSX: like the speccy, but the music is faster and the yellow is more white! 6.25/10 Atari lynx: good for a portable system at the time. 7/10 Sharp x68000 like the arcade version 9/10 Psx: same as arcade! 10/10
Namcot was the home division of Namco. They mainly ported Namco arcade games to home consoles, but they also made plenty of original titles for home consoles
Pac-land's controls is very confusing to me. Why did you have to use the buttons to move and the d-pad to jump? Also, the NES version looks more like an Atari 5200 game
It's crazy how we think of these older arcade games to be in the same category of the 8-bit consoles, but watching the NES footage shows how arcade games really blew them out of the water in terms of processing but also look.

Nes: No way, 8-Bit, NO! Paint/Adobe Flash Mode! NEC PC-8001mkll SR: Glitched graphics, not smooth scroll, and CRT filter. Commodore 64: Decent conversion, it's okay with his limitations. Amstrad CPC: Literally the same as Commodore 64, but not scroll and some changes in the colors. Amiga: *WHY THIS IS WORST THAN COMMODORE 64* ?!?! Atari ST: Literally the same as Amiga, but, better music! TG16/PC Engine: Now you can call this an port! And, an Expert/Pro mode when the game is completed! ZX Spectrum (128K): Literally the same as Amstrad CPC, but worse colors and decent music. MSX: Literally the same as ZX Spectrum, with correct BPM music. Atari Lynx: An decent conversion, with good colors and music! Sharp X68000: Again, YOU can call this an port! Playstation: Literally the same as Arcade but the nose is, cutted? My favorites: Arcade, TG16/PC Engine, Sharp X68000 and PS1
@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY Now that I've actually played this game, I can say its controls aren't bad-just different from what most platformers use today. You don't need to mash the directional buttons most of the time since you can simply hold the correct button to maintain your current speed. That said, you'll need to mash to get up to speed or change direction as well as to glide farther off a springboard.
@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY Yeah, that springboard is a real killer. I'm not sure how you've played this game, but I know in _Pac-Man Museum +_ that you can opt to map your jump to the stick or D-pad and your run to the face buttons. Doing that made the springboard sections easier for me, so much so that I've gotten as far as the start of Trip 4.
i have played pac-land in pac-man museum + and i see what the break time signs are for now: they serve to give your finger a break from pressing the run button repeatedly and stop you from getting carpal tunnel syndrome
the euro computer versions were the last games to come from quicksilva, who shut it's doors after they were released. talk about ending things with a bang.
Grandslam published Pac Land, but this was the last game to use the Quicksilva brand. Quicksilva was Grandslam - Argus Press brought Quicksilva, who became Grandslam. They were in business until about 1995. They also owned Bug Byte (Manic Miner's publishers).
It was good to know that there was an atari st version as well sothat it could compeat against nintendo’s own platformer on the nes,eventrough the st was a computer but it could serve as a game console as well.

Amiga: good music in start, but this game is underwhelming for what can the amiga do, and the music is slow. 5.5/10
Atari st: similar to the amiga, but chiptune music. Better than amiga since it is not underwhelming 7/10
TurboGrafx 16: it is like the original arcade one! 9/10
Zx spectrum: good old speccy. only yellow, blue and black. But the music is like the amstard one and like the CPC, it does not have sidescrolling. Good for the speccy 6/10
MSX: like the speccy, but the music is faster and the yellow is more white!
6.25/10
Atari lynx: good for a portable system at the time. 7/10
Sharp x68000 like the arcade version 9/10
Psx: same as arcade! 10/10
Thanks for your review!

Why the NES one say "Namcot" instead of "Namco"?
Namco tokyo i guess
Namcot was the home division of Namco. They mainly ported Namco arcade games to home consoles, but they also made plenty of original titles for home consoles
Nintendo had the most accurate music for the actual tv show
0:00 Arcade
0:01 Arcade

Someday, Pac-Land ought to get a sequel!
Well, it was tied to the new pac man tv show at the time so I don’t think they will make a sequel
7:27 Why did you jump pacman in car ghost
2:12 Namcot
And? Does anyone care?
Pac land arcade american looks more like in Hanna Barbera's Pac man
Because it is based on it (sorry if im wrong)
やっぱPCエンジン版は当時としてはずば抜けた移植度だな！！
Hey, at least ZX Spectrum had music

Both the US & JP Arcade and Playstation versions for me. They're truly equal to each other.
The only difference for what I see is its eyes.
@@alejandroschnettler1794 That's too good to be true.😊👍
Great video! Even the ZX Spectrum has a nice version of this game.
It's got to be 128k though, I dread to think what a 48k version was like!
What I say: ruclips.net/video/Hwz7YN1AQmQ/видео.html
@@contactacb Yup, it's 128k, you can see by scrolling the video bar
Shizuku Osaka and Kasumi Nakasu ever beaten PacLand in its Namco Museum Volume 4 version. Shizuku got much higher score. 786090pts.
True.😊
Your channel is amazing
Idk about you guys, but I feel like I was the only one who played the turbo grafix version, lol!

Unlike any other game Namco has made, I think the NES version looks better than the arcade version.
シームレスにステージ進行の作品と画面切り替え作品があるね
オリジナルはシームレスだから
再現出来てる物はぐっど
車が出てこない作品もあるね
NES version’s background looks like it was made in MS paint💀
X68000, Psx and PC Engine are pretty good.Amiga hardware wise could have done much much better (jerky scrolling)
if the Amiga port (version) wasn’t a lazy Atari ST remake yes
Did you know Pac Land had inspired Super Mario Bros
Pac-land's controls is very confusing to me. Why did you have to use the buttons to move and the d-pad to jump? Also, the NES version looks more like an Atari 5200 game
It's crazy how we think of these older arcade games to be in the same category of the 8-bit consoles, but watching the NES footage shows how arcade games really blew them out of the water in terms of processing but also look.
Other console ports are based on the Japanese version of the arcade game
3:08 *HOLD ON WHAT IS THIS RENDER!!!?????*
(In the left side two bullets are bugging)
4:13 what the hell why the music are stopped for no reason
4:20 oh, here it is :D
5:07 what the peppers is this pallet the floor is *𝚙 𝚞 𝚛 𝚙 𝚕 𝚎*
5:22 𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗴𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
A Hanna Barbera's animation into a video game!
Arcade (USA/Midway): WHOA WHOA WHOA, the speed! *inserts voices* *Faster* ! *Faster* ! *of Pac-Man 2*
Arcade (JP/Namco): Pac-Man eyes are correct, speed okay, Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man it's okay!
Nes: No way, 8-Bit, NO! Paint/Adobe Flash Mode!
NEC PC-8001mkll SR: Glitched graphics, not smooth scroll, and CRT filter.
Commodore 64: Decent conversion, it's okay with his limitations.
Amstrad CPC: Literally the same as Commodore 64, but not scroll and some changes in the colors.
Amiga: *WHY THIS IS WORST THAN COMMODORE 64* ?!?!
Atari ST: Literally the same as Amiga, but, better music!
TG16/PC Engine: Now you can call this an port! And, an Expert/Pro mode when the game is completed!
ZX Spectrum (128K): Literally the same as Amstrad CPC, but worse colors and decent music.
MSX: Literally the same as ZX Spectrum, with correct BPM music.
Atari Lynx: An decent conversion, with good colors and music!
Sharp X68000: Again, YOU can call this an port!
Playstation: Literally the same as Arcade but the nose is, cutted?
My favorites: Arcade, TG16/PC Engine, Sharp X68000 and PS1
What about a Pac-Land Epoch Super Cassette Vision Homebrew?
I'm glad you didn't forget about the PC-8001mk2SR version!
TurboGrafx-16 is the most Arcade-Accurate port we might eventually get (it also had an ending after 32 rounds wth)
1. X68000
2. Atari Lynx
3. TurboGrafx
i like how this is the first game to ever use a variable walking speed so to do this they probably used control sticks instead of joysticks
There was no joystick. Just a left run and right run button. (and jumps) The faster you tap them, the faster you run
@@RyBenn828 oof; i bet people's hands got tired of mashing the run buttons after they make it to fairy land for the first time
@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY Now that I've actually played this game, I can say its controls aren't bad-just different from what most platformers use today. You don't need to mash the directional buttons most of the time since you can simply hold the correct button to maintain your current speed. That said, you'll need to mash to get up to speed or change direction as well as to glide farther off a springboard.
@@reillywalker195 yeah. the furthest i have gotten is the springboard in trip 1
@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY Yeah, that springboard is a real killer. I'm not sure how you've played this game, but I know in _Pac-Man Museum +_ that you can opt to map your jump to the stick or D-pad and your run to the face buttons. Doing that made the springboard sections easier for me, so much so that I've gotten as far as the start of Trip 4.
i have played pac-land in pac-man museum + and i see what the break time signs are for now: they serve to give your finger a break from pressing the run button repeatedly and stop you from getting carpal tunnel syndrome
You do know you can tap till u get max speed then hold the button right?
no X(
I love pacland!
What the heck are those weird flower things in the sharp x68000 version?
Pretty fascinating! 👍🏻
Why is Pac-Man on C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, and MSX looks like Humpty Dumpty?
Turbografx 16 is my favorite game, i'm pulling the first hydra and blue hat appeared.
If i'm playing Pac-Man 2 on SNES, it Will be gonna be easy
Christ, that's actually kind of impressive for the Spectrum.
What I say: ruclips.net/video/Hwz7YN1AQmQ/видео.html
I didn’t know that a ZXspectrum game could be actually... good!
What I say: ruclips.net/video/Hwz7YN1AQmQ/видео.html
@@dayanemenezes300 but is has good music
I heard Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy were good.
Well at least the game looks playable
9:24 what the
Its very good, actually, for the ZX. You probably don't know the platform
@@EricFragaI was talking about the music, it’s a pre existing song but idk the name
Oh on your message there was nothing about music :) only the timestamp. I don't recognize the origin of the song too...
I met one of the guys who developed the Amiga version a couple of years back. He was stacking shelves in Tesco.
The jp version of the arcade version is better due to it changing Pac-Mans eyes from the human like ones to the more traditional pie eyes
Pac-Man looks so good and refined with his pie eyes. The human eyes have seen better days!
My Favorite Is Sharp X68000
I always watch the arcade original footage first and then jump straight to the ZX Spectrum and then Amstrad CPC just to see the biggest difference.
Lol me too. It's like I like to Bully zx spectrum ports
It has color on amstrad
I had a NEC PC-8001mk2SR and this "Shift keys-breaking" game (5-inch FD edition).
the euro computer versions were the last games to come from quicksilva, who shut it's doors after they were released. talk about ending things with a bang.
Grandslam published Pac Land, but this was the last game to use the Quicksilva brand. Quicksilva was Grandslam - Argus Press brought Quicksilva, who became Grandslam. They were in business until about 1995. They also owned Bug Byte (Manic Miner's publishers).
It was good to know that there was an atari st version as well sothat it could compeat against nintendo’s own platformer on the nes,eventrough the st was a computer but it could serve as a game console as well.
3:38 PAC man: welcome to the city
Pac-Land (Amiga Comportando) 6:13
Wow, I've never seen the X68000 version! This is the best version obviously. I grew up with the C64 version though and love it!
I like these many versions of Pac-Land. But why there's a lot of holy cross in these games?
Because Japan
Worker: This game clearly won't work on the system!
Owner: *I can make it work*
Gran vídeo y curioso que la versión para Spectrum tenga la música original y con mejor sonido que máquinas superiores
My RetroPie had the PC Engine and Atari Lynx Versions on it.
Pac-Land. AKA that one scrolling stage in Smash Bros.
my favorite version is the zx spectrum
On the nes/famicon version of pacland,
the namco is supposed to be namco but the nes/famicon is namcot
QU: Vượt Thời Đại - Guntap!!!!
