Pac-Man on the VCS / 2600 was regarded as a disappointment by the press at the time, but I don't remember us kids caring that much! We were used to the fact that home games were not like the arcade versions so this did not seem such a big deal at the time.
Released in 1982, this game was written by Tod Frye.
This run was played on PC using the Stella emulator. The date of play was the 4th March 2023. The game variation was 1 and the difficulty switches were set to B, although I forgot to show this at the start. The final score was 5,950 points.
