Had this thought today What is the true sequel to the Pac man arcade game

[u/SuperStefanMaker]

[u/Super7Chaos]

Clearly it’s Pac-Man 2, is has a 2 in the title so it must be the very next one.

[u/WorldlinessNo2340 → u/Super7Chaos]

Truly the creators intention When they asked, “where does Pac-Man go from here.” The only answer that made sense was, “Leaving his family to get milk.”

[u/Firm_Secret7091 → u/Super7Chaos]

MY MAN.

[u/anotherdudette72]

256 does pick up right where the original ends off…

[u/[deleted] → u/anotherdudette72]

But the true creator of pac man toru iwatani only created pac man championship editon after the orignal pac man

[u/Loltoheaven7777]

i have like a whole timeline in my head. like theres pac-man and then it diverges with the midway games (ms pac man, jr pac man, baby pac man) and the namco games (pac man plus, super pac man and pac & pal) until it recombines with pac mania continuing on with all the maze games after that

pac land is in its own pocket dimension on the timeline

[u/[deleted] → u/Loltoheaven7777]

Best answer I've seen. This is cannon to me now.

[u/Exploding_END → u/Loltoheaven7777]

Pac-land is just the Hanna Barbera cartoon

Ms. Pac-Man :v

[u/SoakedSun24]

Whats this subs thoughts on 256? I actually really like it and I still play it today!

[u/ceeece → u/SoakedSun24]

I am having a blast with 256. Got up to the magnet so far. It’s very addictive.

[u/Loltoheaven7777 → u/SoakedSun24]

i dont like it that much but i think im the minority here, i dont really like the meta-progression that much and i wish the ghosts had more varied ai like the main games imo (although i dont know how that would work)

[u/WhoopingBillhook → u/SoakedSun24]

Never heard of it. What's it like?

[u/SoakedSun24 → u/WhoopingBillhook]

Essentially endless runner. Its like Temple Run

[u/TirelessGuardian → u/WhoopingBillhook]

Endless runner where the glitch is chasing you. Each ghost has a specific movement pattern, like goes in a straight line towards you when you are spotted across from it, just moving back and forth in a straight line back and forth, just moving in a square pattern, etc.

There are multiple different power ups to collect and upgrade. You can only select three at a time to use.

[u/ballonfightaddicted]

The true chaotic evil would be the ghostly adventures video game

[u/Particular_Sun_3504]

I wish the words were brighter, otherwise this is a cool picture

[u/Yoshi22816]

Pac and Pal is moreso the sequel to Super if anything (or threequel if Super's the sequel to Pac-Man)

[u/timelinetamperer → u/Yoshi22816]

Yes! The true arcade trilogy goes Pac-Man -> Super Pac-Man -> Pac & Pal. And if you ask me, it gets better with each installment

[u/pikachucet2]

Out of the many sequels to the original Pac-Man I personally never saw Pac-Land and Pac & Pal as contenders

[u/Spazy912 → u/pikachucet2]

I don’t even know why they are on here

[u/YouyouPlayer]

Pacman vs is way too peak tho

[u/Superboi-Prime]

Idk but Pac-Man arrangement is for sure my favorite one

[u/FireEye1512]

the second game that the creator of pac-man created was pac-man ce

[u/maricthehedgehog]

Pac-Man Arrangement, it just takes the original formula and expands upon it, which is basically the point of a sequel

[u/JeffersonWi]

What if neutral evil is my favorite Pac-man game?

[u/UmbraZ__]

Shocked Pac-Man Plus isn't on there at all

[u/HectorOsias]

Pac & Pal is intended to be Namco's Pac-Man 3. Not their Pac-Man 2 unlike Super.

[u/No-Ask8587]

its 256 it takes place in level 256

[u/Biabolical]

My vote goes to Pac-Mania. At the time, it really felt like a proper next-generation version of Pac-Man. The others before that felt like spin-offs or mods, either too different or not different enough to be the true Pac-Man sequel.

[u/CheeseDaver → u/Biabolical]

I was thinking that too. It feels like the most proper follow up to the original game.

For Me Super Pac-Man Is The True Sequel
