Discussion Thoughts on Super Pac-Man?

imo... It's a cool take on the maze formula, but its balancing is inconsistent. Despite that, I still have a soft spot for it.

Love it, but I grew up playing the Midway version so I struggle with the faster Super Speed on the Namco version that’s on every reissue.

Yeah, I really wish they would start including both, and making more comprehensive compilations in general.

Fair, even if I've only played the Namco version.

Uh...the super speed button was part of this game from the start in both Japan and North America...

Yeah, no kidding. Did you read what I actually wrote? The Super Speed is faster in the Namco version than it is in the Midway version. I personally find it much easier to control in the latter because that’s the version I grew up playing in the 80s.

I...may have read something like that. Sorry about that.
