Which is your favorite Pac-Man variant on the VCS?
It's easy for me to decide which isn't my favorite and that's that horrible excuse for an arcade port Pac-Man. Everything sucks about that game: maze, audio effects, Pac-Man, flickering ghosts...
For me Ms. Pac-Man edges out Jr. Pac-Man. I think Ms. Pac has a proper level of difficulty whereas Jr. Pac is relentless from the onset. Jr. Pac still has replay value despite being so difficult because it's a challenge just to get to the second screen. I'd like to see a video of someone scoring at least 100K on Jr. Pac.
Pac-Man Arcade I play a lot as well and I'm sure I would have loved it if that were the version released in 1982.
I don't have Pac-Man 4K so I can't comment on that. If you have Pac-Man 4K, I'd like to hear how that compares to Pac-Man Arcade.
