I love this game growing up,The formula overall is very, VERY unique and makes the game really interesting. Namco did a great job with the making of this game.
+TheCodedtestament I wouldn't say that seeing as you don't really have that much control over pacman its really on a good game for nostalgia purposes. Even for it's time it wasn't that great.
Pac Man's cute; he's like a little child. "come on Pac, let's go over here", "you can look at that later Pac", "no don't eat that", "it's okay sweetie, look at the doggy".
The only flaw on this compared to the SNES version of this game, is at 10:46. Normally on the SNES, Pac-Man notices the rock you saved him from and continues walking happily, but on this version, he doesn't notice it and walks away looking scared
1:22:51 I had no idea that if you took too much time to select the card order, Pac-Man would put the cards in the order *he* wanted. The attention to detail this game has is underappreciated.
I feel exactly the opposite. The sound card on the Genesis doesn't lend itself to orchestral-type music, and the sound effects are a direct downgrade. Also, the color support is worse overall as well for the kind of palette in this game. The Sega Genesis has a lot of great titles like Sonic 2 and Gunstar Heroes, but PacMan 2 is flat-out better for the SNES because that's what it was designed for. This is just a port, and not one they put a lot of effort into I'd imagine.
man this game brings me way back. used to love playing this as a kid at my buddies house, he went head first on a motorycle and died man, but things like this reminds me of the good times when we were kids. great stuff.
Jesus! I can't believe that I wanted this game badly at one point in my childhood, and it was all because of that hang-gliding cover art. I would have been sorely disappointed with this back in the day lol.
This round thing has so many facial expressions. More than I'll ever have. Why the hell did they make him so likeable? You can easily grow attached to him, that's crazy !
I remember this game from when I was a kid. I would eventually just get stuck and then hit Pacman with my sling shot until he was too depressed to even stand up.
I think both versions have some good points about them. Graphics were definitely identical, but the Genesis version is missing some transition effects like in the opening movie or when you die. I don't know why, but I like the sound effects in the Genesis version. In my opinion, I thought the music in sounded a little more nicer, but thats just me. But yeah, I like the SNES Pac-Man voice better. Genesis was the version I grew up with so I feel more close to that, but I like both versions.
2020 1 month till ps5 and I am getting ready to love games even more so in the last month I bought Ps2 and silent hill 1-4. This week I got a psp with the third birthday. I am going retro baby I gotta get this game played it as a child
there are differences between the SNES version of this game and the sega genesis version: the SNES version's music is different along with the voices of pac-man and the person that says "look", "faster" and "higher" and the cartridges you find around unlock ms. pac-man instead of jr. pac-man
The cat is also different, the laser at the departement store is trasparent on the SNES, On the SNES the rytmyth of the music changes when he is happy or sad, due to the different color palett some things on the Genesis are blue and on the SNES are black, the passwords are different, the SNES sounds more cinematic while the Genesis sounds more cartoony
On 1:29:35 you can see a note it says..."great job! You beat the game,, but you didn't find many of my worlds secrets. Play the game again to keep your current percentage, and try to explore my world more thoughly. Finish the game with a higher percentage, to get special passwords."
Am I the only one who thinks Pac Jr. is more mature than his dad, and only gets upset when he loses things that fulfill his career? Looking at his guitar makes me want to assume he's dreaming of becoming a musician.
The best part of this game was when Pac-Man got overly happy. I used to play this quite often as a kid/teen/adult on the Genesis. I could get pretty far, but never beat the game. Perhaps I will give it a whirl on the next rainy day.
As much as people hated this game you have to admit it was an interesting since it introduced an entirely different control scheme than what people were used to.
An interesting game with a good story, but I do wish it included an additional way to control Pac Man directly instead of prompting the character with the target.
I remember this game so many fun memories eating a exotic fruit making Pac-Man act really silly and hammer a mallet on his head and pull on his tongue or the time next to the barn shot a tree and down came a beehive but I would be going to the next screen or the bees will chase Pac-Man
Poor Pac Baby! At the farrm, you were supposed to hit the bird with the slingshot so it would knock down the glass bottle. Then Pacman will milk the cow.
The SNES version has beautiful sound and music. This version just sounds like they put the SNES version onto the Genesis without trying to accomodate the music and sound for it. Listening to this grates on my ears XP
Stovacious In my opinion, the Genesis' sound and music capabilities are lacking compared to the SNES. It seems like most devs just didn't know how to use those capabilities. Not that I'm saying the Genesis always sounded awful. Exceptions such as the Sonic series, Gunstar Heroes, and the Earthworm Jim games are some really good examples of when the devs knew what they were using and pushed the system to its limits to make it sound amazing.
Wow, this 8-bit audio is pretty abysmal. I really like this game, but I played the SNES version, where the audio was much better. The great music, and Pac-Man's funny voice were a lot of the charm the game held, which I feel like is lost with the Sega version's poor audio.
TheCosmicChicken Um, actually, SNES uses 8 bit samples in order to produce the music. What you're really complaining about is the challenge of trying to make a 6 channel FM synthesizer chip mimic the quality of pre recorded samples. Not an easy thing. I think the musician did a good job, given the limitations he had to work with. And certainly, if he had more time, he probably could have done a better job.
I must say, the SNES version is WAY better. The graphics are nearly identical, but the sound effects are far superior on the SNES. Pac-Man's "voice" doesn't sound like a voice at all in this version.
@FlameRose97 Agreed. The Super Nintendo version has superior-sounding music, but the voice was near unbearable at certain times. On the other hand... The Sega Genesis has some really crude noises for music, some of which sound "okay at best", and others just sound awful. However, the tradeoff is a more cute PacMan voice. :) The Sega Genesis was more than capable of producing similar sounds that represent the instruments from the Super Nintendo version. While it would not be a 100% representation of what the Super Nintendo port sounds like, it would sound more like the music from the SNES than what you hear in the video here. If done properly, it would put this port to shame at how they butchered the music... The samples used in this port (whether it's a timpani or whatever) sound plain awful and are (most likely) compressed to hell and high water. It's a shame that this port is lacking in the sound department, because the YM2612 sound chip is way more capable than what this game "delivers"...
That's your opinion mate. I'd hardly call the Sega Genesis version's "music" actual music, since most of the instruments don't seem to resemble any particular instrument of any sort, rather they just sound like an awful clutter that could have been much better... Since you seem to hate echo so much, there were other popular games on the Snes that used the echo as well, such as Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, both 1 and 2. They all have great-sounding music. It seems that this is a bias you have towards the Snes version of this game, even though the music in the Sega Genesis version is a terrible mess. It's your opinion mate, I respect it, I think it's a very cheap and lame excuse why you hate the Snes version, but I'll respect it. The Snes still wins in my book, because the Sega Genesis version of this game fails tremendously in the sound department in my opinion. (See my above comment for more details why I feel that way.)
@R GG That's your opinion mate about the voice. The fact that I had to turn my volume down for the SNES version speaks louder than your words. ...And yes, the YM2612 sound chip is capable of producing sounds similar to the SNES version of Pacman 2.

Pac-Man, the only father that came back with the milk on the same day.
The sounds alone bring back so many memories!
Certainly my favorite game growing up.

RizenLink I wanna hug him!💛💛💛💛💛💛
The videogame is for children so he will obvously act like a child
Either that or he has ADD?
@@mypkamax What is ADD
??
The only flaw on this compared to the SNES version of this game, is at 10:46. Normally on the SNES, Pac-Man notices the rock you saved him from and continues walking happily, but on this version, he doesn't notice it and walks away looking scared
Also the music speed doesn't change whenever Pac-Man is too happy, angry or sad.
1:22:51 I had no idea that if you took too much time to select the card order, Pac-Man would put the cards in the order *he* wanted.
The attention to detail this game has is underappreciated.
1:22:51 Pac Man: When did you learn to become a god darn idiot and not memorizing the code...🤨😒
I LOVED playing this game at my cousin's house, but DAMN it frustrated the crap out of me. Lol
As a Fan of Nintendo I have to admit that The sound on Sega it’s a little better than SNES.
I feel exactly the opposite. The sound card on the Genesis doesn't lend itself to orchestral-type music, and the sound effects are a direct downgrade.
Also, the color support is worse overall as well for the kind of palette in this game.

I had the SNES version when I was younger, and I loved it to death!
I had the SNES version on my Wii U, it’s adorable and I still play it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@JustFaithSilly i have it on my emulator of snes
Nintendo should've add this on the SNES classic edition
Man I remember being 5 or 6 playing this and took me months to get past the glider part.. good memories 😆😆
That shit was hard man lol
The music and sound effects are so much better on the genesis version
Man, I really LOVED this game as a kid, not sure why. But the sound effects really bring back memories, so thanks a lot for posting this, cheers mate.
brings back so many good memories
I know right i playes when i was like 4
+Brianmax8 alt channel hell yea I remember playing this at my grammas house I was like 4 also Lol.
Ibeated the game like 2 weeks after I started the game its so much fun
+Brianmax8 alt channel dam Idk what happened to our Sega smh. I wanna get one again lol
I just get like a software to download this game to the PC
Jesus! I can't believe that I wanted this game badly at one point in my childhood, and it was all because of that hang-gliding cover art. I would have been sorely disappointed with this back in the day lol.
never got the mine part as a kid, though nice to come back the kid i played this game with is dead nowadays. good to visit good memories of childhood
This round thing has so many facial expressions. More than I'll ever have. Why the hell did they make him so likeable? You can easily grow attached to him, that's crazy !
I remember this game from when I was a kid. I would eventually just get stuck and then hit Pacman with my sling shot until he was too depressed to even stand up.
I completed when i was 4 with help of some of my friends who knew the game well
God he's so cheeky I LOVE THIS GAME
Another differences to the SNES version, is "Blinky". On this, his colours are correct but on the SNES version, he's more purple
I remember playing this on the SNES version but I never understood it as a child until I actually watch somebody else play it.
1:02:18--This is why I never want Pac-Man to get on that skateboard.
Honestly, I go after the Pac-Man Jr cartridges while doing the other quests.
12:25 The “higher”s really set the rhythm to the music here
I think both versions have some good points about them. Graphics were definitely identical, but the Genesis version is missing some transition effects like in the opening movie or when you die. I don't know why, but I like the sound effects in the Genesis version. In my opinion, I thought the music in sounded a little more nicer, but thats just me. But yeah, I like the SNES Pac-Man voice better. Genesis was the version I grew up with so I feel more close to that, but I like both versions.
This is a good opinion.
I grew up with the Snes, so I prefer that music, but I respect your taste.
SNES is the best to play this game!
2020 1 month till ps5 and I am getting ready to love games even more so in the last month I bought Ps2 and silent hill 1-4. This week I got a psp with the third birthday.
I am going retro baby
I gotta get this game played it as a child

The cutscenes are in a Circle on the SNES and fullscreen on the Genesis
It really succeeds as an "interactive cartoon" ^_^
On 1:29:35 you can see a note it says..."great job! You beat the game,, but you didn't find many of my worlds secrets. Play the game again to keep your current percentage, and try to explore my world more thoughly. Finish the game with a higher percentage, to get special passwords."
I thought this game was a memory of a fever dream when I was a kid
What in the unholy name of hel why did this memory just come to mind? I'm 28 and haven't played this since I was probably 5
I remember playing this game as a kid!
I watched that for years now I'm watching this now!
As a 6 year old there was no beating this game
1:21:08 Pac man voice looks really cute for the Mega Drive
Am I the only one who thinks Pac Jr. is more mature than his dad, and only gets upset when he loses things that fulfill his career? Looking at his guitar makes me want to assume he's dreaming of becoming a musician.
Mine and Pac-man's reaction to ginger ("The Tom and Jerry Show" character) and wilfre ("Drawn To Life" villain)
Is this -> 44:22
Oh man, I loved this game
1:06:20 districting pac-man from dog 🐕 bark!!!
The best part of this game was when Pac-Man got overly happy. I used to play this quite often as a kid/teen/adult on the Genesis. I could get pretty far, but never beat the game. Perhaps I will give it a whirl on the next rainy day.
24:36 YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH COKE PAC MAN IF YOU DRINK MORE YOU'LL GO CRAZY
1:03:40 - Pac-Man dancing in the park!
Matthew Rivera cutest dance ever!🥰🥰🥰
As much as people hated this game you have to admit it was an interesting since it introduced an entirely different control scheme than what people were used to.
Pac-Choir gives me Goosebumps
I hope that says "Gum Monster..."
Stephen Sunday It does. Otherwise this game would've been banned by now...
An interesting game with a good story, but I do wish it included an additional way to control Pac Man directly instead of prompting the character with the target.
1:17:03 Glitchy wave
I used to own this game when I was a kid...I never did beat it tho but I remember playing it all the time
Why didn't you make him eat the various emotion fruits? ಥ_ಥ Those are my favorite.
Yooooooo I loved this game when I was Younger
Love playing on my Sega Genesis good game and memories
1:13:36 Wait, what happened to Ms. Pac-man?
LuigiMario79 Ms. Pac-Man is for SNES
The way he gets mad 💢 is scary lol
as I know some people will like the SNES version better but to me I feel like this game was better for the genesis but that is just me
I WANT THIS GAME FOR CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!
this game is the best
(21:27) Pac-Man: Come on!! Work for me!! AAAAUUUURRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
My brother likes the snes version: because he loves the pac man voice
I like the Genesis version: because the music and the pac man voice is good
I remember this game so many fun memories eating a exotic fruit making Pac-Man act really silly and hammer a mallet on his head and pull on his tongue or the time next to the barn shot a tree and down came a beehive but I would be going to the next screen or the bees will chase Pac-Man
for some reason I have thought that Ms. Pacman Should be called Pac Woman
Poor Pac Baby! At the farrm, you were supposed to hit the bird with the slingshot so it would knock down the glass bottle. Then Pacman will milk the cow.
Great game i had it cant remember when but was a long time ago the noise and such take you back
This video helped me get through playing this game, so thanks for uploading it! Is it just me, or does the final boss seem to be way too easy?
Wow, this was shorter than I thought, I only ever made it to the sewer, then I gave up.
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Version of Pac-Man 2 Sounds like Yamaha OPL3 Synthesizer
In 0:15 you can hear "PAC-MAN 2!" shouting on low voice.
That thumbnail though XD
Pac-Man 2:
As Novas Aventuras
If not for the handglider sections and the cart sections this game would probably only be like 20 or 30 minutes long tops

Eh. The SNES version had better music and sound effects. But then again, this is around the time they ported SNES games to the Genesis, right?
The SNES version has beautiful sound and music. This version just sounds like they put the SNES version onto the Genesis without trying to accomodate the music and sound for it. Listening to this grates on my ears XP

I had this as a rent from the video store. Although I was pretty much into the humor of the game I also got pretty annoyed after a while.
Anyone else brought here by Game Grumps? :p
Pacman kicks the machine in 41:15 his head blows up
2:13 "Look" Voice Sounds like Monster
Wow, this 8-bit audio is pretty abysmal. I really like this game, but I played the SNES version, where the audio was much better. The great music, and Pac-Man's funny voice were a lot of the charm the game held, which I feel like is lost with the Sega version's poor audio.

Pacman....!?! 1:56
What Would Make Better Is If SNES Would Be In Game Music And Genisis for Outgame Music
I kno u uploaded this a bit ago but how did u know what order to put the cards in or whats the games eay of showing u that info
Very 👍 Nice.
PACMAN MOVIES you’re profile pic is adorable!💛💛💛💛💛💛
Oh, it's GUM monster. Lol, my mistake.
as you do to make pacman moves to the left or right hand saying that look
also at 36:10 pac man's shreiking sounds like a fire engine siren
Hays Coleman LOL
I remember that dumbass cat stealing my food then attacking me for no dam reason
How did you know the code for the Gum Monster is 4-1-5? I could never figure that out when I was a kid
Blinky is more red here in Genesis unlike SNES he is more like Pink or something..
Devo ter sido o unico Brasileiro que zerou este jogo eu morri demais mas com o tempo fiquei bom!!
Genesis version: nice Pacman voice, crappy music
SNES version: annoying pacman voice, good music
Most sounds are better on the Genesis version. While still an opinion, it's hard to think that you would call the far superior music "Crappy"
@FlameRose97 Agreed. The Super Nintendo version has superior-sounding music, but the voice was near unbearable at certain times. On the other hand...
The Sega Genesis has some really crude noises for music, some of which sound "okay at best", and others just sound awful. However, the tradeoff is a more cute PacMan voice. :)

It's a shame that this port is lacking in the sound department, because the YM2612 sound chip is way more capable than what this game "delivers"...
its the same music. except the sound modulation is more echoey and sounds like shit on the snes
That's your opinion mate.
I'd hardly call the Sega Genesis version's "music" actual music, since most of the instruments don't seem to resemble any particular instrument of any sort, rather they just sound like an awful clutter that could have been much better...
Since you seem to hate echo so much, there were other popular games on the Snes that used the echo as well, such as Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, both 1 and 2. They all have great-sounding music. It seems that this is a bias you have towards the Snes version of this game, even though the music in the Sega Genesis version is a terrible mess.

...And yes, the YM2612 sound chip is capable of producing sounds similar to the SNES version of Pacman 2. The reason being is that SNES version has very bland-ish sounding sampled instruments that can be reproduced with similar sounds on the Sega Genesis. The muted trumpet used in the SNES version is a lost cause, as the YM2612 sound chip (or any synthesizer to my knowledge) is incapable of producing such a sound.

Me: WHAT!?
*MLG OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH*
Pac-Man sounds cute in SNES
I know right
49:56 what a lazy gameplay this is
Can the mouse be used to play this game?
The announcer sounds like Bart Simpson
wait... what kinda monster is at the end?
Sonic actually is... PACMAN?!
That's because of the soundfont
It's funny how u make pacman upset
