The Extra Life tune on the Coleco Tabletop sounds like the sound when you get an item in Pokemon

[ItsJustTrevor]

Nice to see that the NABU version is still getting recognition

[colinjackson-xnro]

Atgames : hmm. Let’s purchase PAC-MAN and ruin the face of Bandai Namco.

Fans : ATGAMES YOU MAKE US SOO ANGRY

[Danyplaysboblox]

Nice video! It seems like you have return to Pac-Man to gain extra lives

[fantasyplay]

Ураа новое видео про Пак-Ман УРАААА!!!❤ А когда будет видео "Pac-Mania" - все 4 интро? (Когда вы выбираете какой-нибудь уровень, запускается ИНТРО и далее запускается уровень)

[digitizer]

OG arcade is my fav❤. Thanks for showing all the versions.

[TanquezinhoUCCB]

Some sounds are bit strange but the most scary for me is the game boy version, when you eat a mega pil that sound made me a bit of scared

[balrogbean]

Gotta be the Game Boys. Way too easy to be able to get all 4 ghosts

[MiloFremantle]

You Forgot To Add The BBC Micro Version Of Pacman

@retrosutra this is going to sound stupid, but when emulating the NABU, which my guess you're doing through MAME, when you install the NABU Internet Adapter, does it interfere with you real network adapter in anyway, like will it affect internet bills or anything like that? I'm paranoid, but also really want to play some NABU so any help would be appreciated.

9:07 you forgot about the sideways mode. I have a copy and there is a mode for that.

[FProductions]

NES sound just sounds like when you start any Dodge vehicle after 2011
