It's more ambitious than it might appear but it's ultimately a failure.
The whole self-referential tv thing could have been pretty interesting if it was pulled off but it just isn't.
Pac-Man's animations are pretty good I suppose.

>> No.1043901

I love it. try and play through it at least once a year. you've gotta play it like a virtual pet simulator instead of an action game. I feel like I actually bonded with Pacman the first time I played through it.

Not by any fault of Arino's. It just looks like that bad of a game.

>> No.1044002

It's really misunderstood, and quite fun/funny just to dick around in. Like making pacman eat the honeycomb or whatever and he goes all retarded. His speech in the SNES version (genesis' sound chip just replaced the speech with horrific ugly noises, go figure eh?) is pretty hilarious, at least to me. It's a great point n click adventure, the problem is people were expecting more of a "game" and when they don't get it or can't wrap their brain around how to properly play it they call it "crap". It is woefully misunderstood.

brilliant game that I'd label a cult-classic. Pacman's expressions and movements in this game and the ways you go about seeing them are really great. for example early in the game the farmer with the bail of hay over his head that you knock down so Pacman can walk past., if Pacman is in a real bad mood he won't even try and walk past, if Pacman is a in a normal mood he walks past but tip toes very carefully, and if Pacman is in a good mood he'll walk past kinda cocky and than turn towards the screen and snickers

It was an experiment that failed horribly, pretty much. For what it is, it's interesting, but I couldn't call it a good game with a straight face. Probably one of the first to be less of a "game" and more an "experience" where your skill doesn't really matter and more your imagination in trying to figure out just what the fuck you're supposed to do.

In a way, it's a point-and-click game, but with a character acting on his own volition, which is a horrible idea on paper, and it didn't really work here either. But still, for what it's worth, it's an unique experience, and I'd recommend checking it out, if only for its historical relevance and experimental ideas.

I owned this when I was young on the genesis, and like most people, I just didn't get it. I figured then that I was just bad at it, and never considered that it may have just been a fucking ridiculous concept for a game. I hadn't thought about it for a long time, but posts like >>1044002 and >>1044494 make me consider looking at it again.

>> No.1045050

it gets a 10/10 for originality and I think the graphics are gorgeous. , for the first hour you play you'll hate Pacman with a passion, but by the end of the game you actually become attached to the little yellow fucker.

oh and the people ITT that said the GCCX episode sucked are out of their minds. no matter what you think of the actual game, that episode is a top 5 episode easily.

I never played the game, but I hated it with a passion for the first and only hour I WATCHED it being played on GCCX. Animations like this >>1044509 made me want to punch my screen. It doesn't feel like a Pac-Man game in any way, but the game would be completely ignored without the licensed character. It's annoying to watch and looks like it would be annoying to play.

Kusoge is a loan word, though. It has no English equivalent, as Kusoge means "bad game that is enjoyable or remarkable in how awful it is". The only equivalent we have would be "shit game", which would be the literal translation, except it implies it's bad overall.

we really need more gifs from this game

also, it may not have been a "good" game, but it is one of my favorites. must have played through it at least 20 times over the years. it's short but very charming, and all the different ways to affect Pac Man's mood are great. it's a really funny game.

I can understand if people don't get how to play it or if they're mad about it being a Pac Man game, but it was just an idea based off the kid's cartoon. I don't think there was ever another game like it, and that's kind of a shame.

once you understand the flow of the game it actually plays pretty smoothly and it's really fun.

I had this game when I was a kid, and I loved it. I even remember drawing little Pacman comics inspired by it. It's got nice colorful settings, a good sense of humor, and it's unlike anything else on the SNES. I like all of the different ways you can interact with objects, like shooting a cat and causing it to attack Pacman, or shooting down a weird fruit that causes Pacman to go apeshit. It's the small things like that that make it charming to me. Also spamming "LOOK, LOOK" is fun.

No, it just means "bad game". There might be people out there that enjoy bad games in the same way that there are people that enjoy bad movies, but the term itself just means "bad game".
