Classic Game Room Pro 4K Hyper Elite plays Pac-Man on Atari 2600! Is Pac-Man on Atari 2600 as bad as you remember it, or is it better now that we're living in the awful dystopian future garbage year of 20XX? Mark digs Pac-Man and Omega Ronin makes a song out of the music. Enjoy! @OmegaRoninMusic #atari #atari2600 #pacman #ataripacman #classicgameroom #cgr2085 #videogames #retrogaming - Hry
I’m so glad that CGR is back (again), i grew up watching these videos lol
something feels different about these new episodes that i really like. something about the music and story telling with the gameplay footage just really hits
I feel like sometimes Mark just gets drunk and turns the camera on. And I am 100% here for it. 🍻 🍻
😮💨
Insert beer output fun.
That's always been the best part of cgr.
As much as I love color TV, I can appreciate Mark's story about watching OHMSS in black and white. 😂😂😂
I love the newly discovered lore that Mark spilled beer on his 2600 *over 30 years ago* and it still works, minus a sticky switch lol
I don't remember the 2600 port looking this bad. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Really? I thought everyone who remembered this game from the drop was horrified when they finally played the game that I remember as the first preorder game in history. My folks had preordered it for me, for Easter. I remember calling the fruit “Bennies,” when I first saw them.
Nostalgia glasses can work both ways, I think. I actually remember it as worse. Either way, “hell of a drug” is spot on, JB.
I read that this version was just a prototype and was suppose to be better than this but was rushed and this is what we got.
@@mechamania I remember seeing and playing it for the first time and being really surprised at how much different it looked, but also kinda accepted that most Atari games looked different from the arcade. But I was also 5 at the time and was happy to play it. About a year or so later I got to play Ms. Pac man and that was much much better.
Nostalgia is obviously not a drug also
The Pac Man beat rocks!
I played the heck out of this game back then. Didn’t care that it wasn’t perfect, it represented well enough and played well plus it didn’t cost anymore quarters!
I’d never thought I would live long enough to hear old man Mark rant but here we are
Reshooting a review in 4K60 solely to make the ghosts visible on Pac-Man Atari 2600...that's the most CGR thing ever :'D
The Pac is back.
Glad you are back! I dont know how many people I've heard mention your channel since you've been away. You've been missed. Come back again! 😊👍
Mark do you have a record label, man your tracks are so good! TRUXTON 4 LIFE!!
Oh yeah here we go CGR time! I've watched a lot of Classic Game Room, but that was years ago, but now that it's back I'm gonna give this everything I've got!
I would definitely pull up to hear old uncle mark's stories about video games lol,
I love the editing and music in this one buddy!!!
I actually pulled out my old copy the other day and I still get sucked into it. It was the first game I ever owned, besides Combat. And yes, OHMSS is a fantastic Bond flick.
Watched all your videos for years! Now I have my own channel. So happy to see that you have returned!
Welcome back and thanks for returning. I watch your videos like you're a new TV show. Great to watch awesome reviews and great jokes. It's fun..thank you
Mark bringing the hottest games of the moment I see... as always! Thanks for coming back!
The return of the goat. My day just got a million times better. This is the most entertaining videogame CZcamsr. All hail Mark - all hail the mighty Atari 2600. I have no doubt beer was spilled all over that Jr., and it's still working like new.
pac-man will always hold a special place in my heart as a 7 yr old when Dad & I waited in line for it on release day (Pac Man Day, if I recall) $40. the bleeps & bloops of the game defined my childhood. The game changed my life ;) Thanks CGR!
This game holds memories with me too. Awesome remixed music at the end.😊👍
That pac-man beat slaps 🎶
I actually can't believe I'm watching a new CGR video game review in 2023
That’s the 2600 I have! Love the Junior version
Love the 60 FPS! I'd like to see that in future vids!
Im happy your back reviewing games its the reason I love your channel
Music just keeps getting better
Really liked this video, and the remix at the end, really good!
What a blast from the past, thanks for everything you do Mark! this is making me want to rewatch the Action Button Pac Man review again lol
Awesome video! And now I’m listening to Omega Ronin!
Glad to see CGR is back! Awesome!
when the omega ronin pac man mix came in at the end at first i started cackling and then i was like damn what a hot beat. 🔥🔥so good 🍻
As much as people rag on this version, 5 year old me was over the moon when I came home from school and my Mom and Dad had gone out and used their first joint credit card to buy me an Atari VCS, Pac-Man and Space Invaders on their day off. Dad had already hooked it up to the TV but had only checked to make sure it was hooked up correctly and hadn't plugged a single cart into it until I got home. Those two games as well as the pack in Combat were like opening an entire new world for me. In my eyes, they were as good as the games I kept bugging them for quarters to play everytime we went out. We didn't turn the console off until well after 3 am and they called me in sick that day from going to school. As soon as I woke up, we were right back at it. Looking back, I realize how much they spent that day just to surprise me and make me happy. The sounds of this game take me back to that Tim over 40 years ago and since my mom is gone now, those are the little things that are priceless, so this game with always be God-tier for me for that reason. I think I'm going to find my 7800 (they upgraded for me lol)in my storage building, dig out my games for it, take it to my Dad and battle him in our favorite two player game, Video Olympics. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Class
That composition at the end to good wtf.
I have so much nostalgia for this version, the weird sound effects and music take me back. It may be a bad port but it’s part of the charm
My favorite CGR video ever!
The first TV I ever owned was black and white. I think was 10, so 1985ish. It had a "remote" that was actually wired to the TV, it had channel up and down and when you pushed it the channel knob still turned with a loud click. I remember watching Giligans Island and the Jack Benny show on it as well as playing my Atari 2600 on it. Good times.
The audio mixing on this video is immaculate
Ah yes, the version of PAC-MAN where he looks like a chicken nugget with eyes.
Also, that beat mixed with the delayed sound effects is kinda fire!
Digging that sort of Dreamwave sound to that tune. The larger acceptance of Retrowave as a genre has been really nice to see.
I played this so much as an 80s kid. I loved using this trick that would make Pac Man slide up and down the middle of the screen, and then try to do only that while avoiding ghosts. I've never seen anyone on the Internet talk about it (though I haven't looked very hard).
For a few years the only TV I had in my room was a small black and white one with a big funky dial that went up high enough for UHF stations. Played a lot of NES and watched a lot of local television on that thing.
Our grandparents always had better electronics than us.
This game was hard to get when it came out - I distinctly remember we got to the store just as they were unboxing the case of Pacman games. It was fresh from the box! Although it's a terrible port looking at it now, back then it was the only port for the 2600 and I poured some hours into it.
It's always weird seeing other channels you subscribe to reply to a video. Love your stuff Lon!
That track was fire.
Great review CGR
Only the finest of displays for the masterpiece that is Pac-Man on Atari 2600!
People hate on this version so much, but it actually was quite a feat for the amount of memory they were allowed to use and the amount of time before the deadline. The man responsible worked his ass off :P .
It's not a great looking version, but god damn if it doesn't look at least decent.
@@penismightier9278 Yup, later games were really showing that there was still a lot to push from that console.
Atari made very future proof consoles, until Jack Tramiel. One can only guess what the 7200 could have been if it had included that new sound chip they were making, and if it wasn't "marketed far under it's market price as Jack wanted to get rid of it".
I still have a black-and-white television. It's one of those Radio Shack Genexxa (the fancier store brand they came up with in the 1990s to replace "Realistic") TV/Radio combos with a 7" screen. I don't actually use it for anything anymore since most NTSC transmissions in Canada (except for some rural repeater stations and very local indie stations) were shut down a decade ago, it doesn't even have composite inputs, so I can't use it for retro gaming (well, unless I wanted to play via RF), and I have better ways of listening to the radio including my CD Walkman that's also a radio, but I still keep it on my nightstand because I find it to be a comforting presence. For bedroom TVs, I actually found I prefer the ambience of black-and-white over colour.
When I got my VCS back in the day, Atari had started including Pac-Man as a throw-in with the console, so since the game was free, I don't dislike it. However, I cannot imagine the disappointment for someone who begged their parents for this game as a Christmas gift.
i really like that mix near the end
MARK IS BACK
Love your story about On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in black and white Mark, I have seen it multiple times on DVD and Blu-Ray and it is one of the best James Bond movies ( third favourite James Bond movie in my James Bond movie rankings) and it’s way better then any of the Daniel Craig era James Bond movies
Banished from Earth, Classic Game Room broadcasts ONCE AGAIN from the Intergalactic Space Arcade on its never-ending quest to review... EVERYTHING!
I’m young enough that while remember seeing Ms. PAC-Man arcade machines, my first memories of just PAC-Man are this version. Those sound effects are forever etched in my brain, and I unironicly love it.
Superb ending with transition to pac techno! Need to see how to get the 4 ghosts to appear. Yars Revenge had a similar issue with a capture card.
Is that a Jupiter 8, or is it PAC-MAN on the Atari 2600?
Nicely done on the pacman jam!
Ah, the best version of Pac-Man I see
This is Awesome!!!
Even the cool CGR music cant save this!
This is a nice video, but I perfer your original CGR HD review.
You were right the delay DID sound cool
Is cgr back? I used to watch this on my breaks! I'm excited.
I was planning to look up some old cgr videos and was pleasantly surprised to find new ones.
I appreciate you're using the 2600 Jr here, despite your love of wood grain. I didn't get mine until the mid-80's, so that's the model I have.
Waca waca it’s PACMAN
i'm convinced Mark is the older son in the British sitcom My Family
Hey classic game room, What do you think of the Atari 2600+
I actually always thought ET got a bad rap, compared to this port. At least Pac-Man had a template to work with-and people had specific expectations for it-but with ET, it was all hype and no good idea about how bad movie tie-inn games could be, even though Spielberg saidE.T. were a film that “would never be on cable or VHS,” because it was a movie so incredible it couldn’t be rightly experienced outside a theater. That lasted one round of theater re-release.
RADTASTIC to the MAX
It's 1980 all over again😎
Takes me back to simpler times👍
the return of the king
Paul Simon very quickly changed the lyric in Kodachrome for live performances to “Everything looks better in black and white”. Not sure if he was a Pac-Man player.
Heh, I can remember watching the "Brought to You in Living Color by NBC" and wondering, "WHAT COLOR?"; we didn't have a color TV until 1975, when I was 13. Now I have 4k HDR and thinking I want to hook up the old 2600 and play some Pac-Man :)
Dang, the tune hidden at the end, rawrr...
He’s back 👏
Love the remix!!
On when you said, "Cast your mind back to 1980, when not everyone had a colour TV!"...
Try 1990 here in Ireland! 😯😂😀🤘 ...
Indeed I remember us only buying a colour TV around 88 and several of my cousins replacing their black and white sitting room TV's in the late 80's and early 90's, while indeed many were still using black and white TVs as secondary/bedroom TVs in the early 90's...
Meanwhile by 2002 when I doubt many people were still actually using black and white TVs, that was the last year that you could buy a black and white TV licence here rather than a full colour one! 😯😂😀🤘 .
Yessssssssss he's back
I wish they didn't try to act like this version of Pac-Man doesn't exist. I would play it if it was on some of the collections. I know the game sucks, but this was the version of Pac-Man I played as a kid. I didn't know it sucked back then.
ITS TRUE. THANK HEAVEN!
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
It was my first exposure to Pac-Man at any rate. If anything, the fact the ghost didn't all gang up on you after they left their box while you're still in Power Pellet mode made it easier for a young kid to play.
I came here for the review. I stayed for the dystopian synthwave track at the end....
He's back! 🎉
How many times do some of you people don’t even….
🍻
Hey mark
What’s your opinion on the Atari 2600+ thing
i'm glad that thumbnail brings back the late 2009/2010 era gaming topic videos before ign went down to shittier of modern gaming
I am almost certain this is 2K. There are 4K and 8K homebrews of Pacman which are much more faithful reproductions.
So true about b&w tvs I'm now 54 born in 69' I was one of the only people in 1977 to have gotten a atari vcs as it was called back then had gotten it for Xmas that year and I still have my heavy sixer from then and I've cleaned it up over the years and looks brand new and still play today but even in 77 when I was 8 I had 2 color tvs one big giant with speaker about 25 " inch back then they were big cabinet tvs and had a 13 inch color and 1 13 inch b&w tv I used the 13" color for my Atari I could not stand to play it on a b&w tv thank God we had a color tv to play it on once in awhile I would take it to lr to play on 25" kind-of lucky kid back then no one I knew had an Atari until at least 79 or 80 the Intellivision came out in 79 but didn't like it cuz of the controller
In space no one can hear you scream. Which is good when you play PacMan on the 2600. Love the look of the 2600 JR though.
How would you know what “eating ghosts underwater” sounds like?
There is a certain charm to this version.
My first introduction to pac man was on the Atari 2600.
That music is amazing, is that your music!?
Is there still a way to donate games to the show, Mark?
Wow it's crazy hearing voiced reviews again lol!
Why is he using 60fps and 4K? Why do people act like they want 30fps and 1080p from the past on CZcams to be forgotten?
@@MorganNye idk Morgan. Just enjoy the damn show
@@irregularmana6216 ok….., I’ll have to fragmentate them though.
You could review a cat turd and I’d tune in. Let’s go!
Go back a couple of years and watch some of the pencil, eraser and paper ✏️📝 reviews. Sounds like it’s exactly what you’re looking for.
Who is the background music?
the remix slaps
Hated this as a kid - absolutely love it as an adult! I decided (10 years ago), to look past the graphics, and give the game play an honest chance. As a result, I learned this is an excellent, fun game! Especially, game 1, set to expert mode.
ngl black and white atari 2600 pacman kind of looking like a horror game to me 😱
