    Ms.Pacman is a more pleasant game to play. Pacman sound is harsh to my ears. As I recall, Ms.Pacman was a more popular game in the 80's…better looking cabinet too.

    Από αυτά, φίλε, μού αρέσουν τα δύο “pac – man”, αλλά αντί για σταυρό κατεύθυνσης θα προτιμούσα μοχλό.
    Που να υπακούει στην κίνηση που επιθυμεί ο παίκτης. Να ανταποκρίνεται άμεσα! Χωρίς delay ή μικροκολλήματα. Να είναι δηλαδή fluid (ρευστή) η κίνηση.

    Tried checking out the free newsletter offered from channel,but I got a weird 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ on screen. didn't know what was going on there so I didn't worry about it and didn't sign up for the free newsletter… you still got a good channel, keep up the good work!

    The biggest difference is that you can't use patterns in Ms-PAC-MAN. The ghost movement is random for the first few seconds of every screen, before it resorts to the exact same ghost AI rules that are in PAC-MAN. This randomness only happens for a few seconds, but it's enough to prevent any patterns.

    Yes, the sacred mini screwdriver collection. I’m glad to see it once again! lol. See, this is why I love this channel, Jon does not mess around, bringing out the power couple you can’t go wrong with that! This year has been amazing for Atari enthusiasts! I’m just glad I was able to keep up with everything and purchase what I wanted, beyond stoked! 👍🏻 🕹️

    While they may not be arcade perfect, the MyArcade units seem much better than the Blaze keychain players. Proper programming prevents piss-poor Pacman Performance.

    Great video Jon! I think My Arcade missed a trick by not making these an actual twin pack. You really can't have one without the other 🙂 Keep up the awesome work!

    My previous comment got nuked with a google error when I tried to edit it, odd. Really impressed with the quality on these overall, will picking be up a few for my collection. I’m ok with arcade rom rewrites (which these apparently are), as long as the gameplay is enjoyable and arcade adjacent.

    Hey bro Great video
    Hey on my Atari gamestation go I've noticed when I'm playing asteroids recharged and when I'm playing it shuts off and I don't know why and I thought you could help me with that

    Even though they're not the original ROMs, they're pretty close. In my opinion, these keychains are very cute even when turned off and you can occasionally play with them.
    A great gift idea featuring the timeless Pac-Man duo.

    I want the Ms. Pac-Man, as long as it had the arcade rom, normal and speed up versions of it. The sounds being off make it unplayable with the sound on. But with the sound off then I can't play the game at all. LOL

    They did look good, but yes, they could use the original arcade roms like MYARCADE did with PAC-MAN in the firmware update on the GSG. Maybe they'll have a trade-in program in the future. So Far, the Galaga Keychain gets my vote for a purchase.

    Do YouTubers know that Bally didn't use 'clicky' controls in the arcades? They used a bellows on the joystick and leaf switches. No 'clicky'. Good god!🙄

    Very nice! To my untrained ear, they sound pretty good but then it's been a LOOONNNNGGG time since I've seen or played either arcade game. Thanks for all you do and looking forward to more! 💜🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪

    This crap is getting redundant and how many ways do people who like to play Pac-Man have to have before we run out of ideas. ATARI games are starting to loose their luster. Almost every week there is a new money grab slop to sell to this broken and dwindling economy. Shill like you love it because you don't pay for most of this shovel crap. Stop looking so fake and happy to lie to your viewers. Just Stop it! No one needs this crap to place on the shelf. Look at your gear it's a damn billboard. So weird!

    A few years back, I bought the little My Arcade stand up cabinet. It had been out for a while and I think it was an impulse buy while I was waiting at the Walgreens pharmacy. The unit still looks really nice, but the sound is off and the gameplay is just a smidge too slow. (Enough to make it maddening). I love that you are doing these reviews now. I really dont want to biy a bunch of these without knowing what im in for before I shell out cash. I would like to find a My Arcade Dig-Dug or Joust! 😊
