Pac-World 1 is one of my fav games and one of the few reasons i asked for a ps1 back then.
I beat Pac-World 2 later on and didn't find it that great besides the amazing Soundtrack.
Same for World 3, but i like the story and atmosphere of 3.

these were great

>but i like the story and atmosphere of 3.
same desu, the atmosphere especially. The music was calming and unsettling at the same time in the best way

The windmill levels were beautiful to look at back then, I also liked Pac's personality of a sarcastic fucker.
Wish the PC Version of World 3 worked on Windows 10.

If this wasn't your jam back in the day you don't know SHIT about videogames.

Why does PMW2 take such a nosedive after the volcano world?

These games were fun. Played 2 and 3, but never 1.

Dolphin is almost perfect at this point. Just emulate the gamecube version.

I have World 3 on Dolphin but it looks blurry as hell, even on max resolutio and scaling.

I played through about half of one of them on gcn, don't remember which. I didn't like it

Yeah I loved the first one. Haven't played any of the others but I'll get on that too. I wonder why they keep pushing the Ghostly Adventures version of Pac Man. Smash Bros knew what the best design was

Eh I guess your right. I enjoy the classic Pac Man and Championship additions but I still Wish we got another Pac Man World just to spice things up

championship edition 2 > championship edition 1

The PMGA games are decent. They're not as good as PMW by any means, but they're mediocre mascot platformers in an age where the genre doesn't really exist anymore. They even made a genuine effort to improve the gameplay in the second one by adding some shit from the PMW games (basic shit like collectibles and points but it makes a difference)

PMCE2 is actually fun as fuck, there's a shitton of strategy involved that the first CE didn't have

>dot combo increases with each dot, maxes at 500, that's the points you get per dot
>if you eat all the dots on a screen, you get a bomb
>if you eat a fruit (to go to the next stage) before you eat all the dots, your combo goes down by 100
>but this is sometimes the best option if you're fast enough and it means you get more ghosts
>you get extra points for your bombs at the end of the game
>if you use a bomb to get to the fruit quickly, it effectively costs points but it could help you make more points quicker
>predicting the path ghost chains will take so you can get to the head
>predicting the path the fruit bubble that runs away from you will take
>all while moving fast as fuck

>That one level that had the little balloon guys from Dig Dug as enemies

>>380677000
This had the best music though

>>380682015
The only thing I would improve about the game is the graphics, the toons look weird.

>>380683532
>the toons
???

>>380673372
>yet they kind of abruptly stopped making them
There were literally 2 of them on Wii U.

>>380683631
I meant characters.

>>380680610
Objectively false.

>>380683798
Ghostly Adventures was a rebrand, the canon is completely different to World.

Basically Pac-Man's Sonic Boom.

I had this 3D PC game called Pac in Time. It was alright.

>>380686217
I think you mean Adventures in Time
that game was fun

>>380686650
No I mean Pac & Pal.

I barely remember playing World 1 on a friends PS1. There was some night level with spiders

but oh man, World 2 was my JAM

That was the game that made my 12th birthday gold. Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania kick ass, too.

Funny enough, Ghostly Adventures used a modified version of the 30th anniversary game's design.

World 3 was good, but a little repetitive compared to World 2, and not as memorable.

I liked some things about 3, but I really missed the arcade and the little stages you could unlock by finding the Galaxian. It also felt really rough-around-the-edges compared to 2, somehow. Didn't love it but it was okay.

2 was the shit, I enjoyed it a ton as a kid.

>>380688548
It's still easy to die on extreme mode in CE2 if you're not gud

>>380688792
>you die on a high difficulty if you aren't good at the game
I would hope so.

>>380682015
Thanks for this suggestion anon, I totally forgot that this game came out and just got it. Definitely way better than the first.

>>380673372
I didn't have the game personally, but my dentist as a kid had a gamecube in the waiting room with one of them.

Don't open it.
I warned you.

Alright, you got me.

>>380689478
FUCK

>>380688676
Also I just remembered one more thing that I missed from 2: the World Map. It's a little thing but it really helps the world feel fleshed out. I suppose it wouldn't have worked with the ghost world shit though.
