LET'S STREAM PAC-MAN 2 BLIND: Something Has Broken, And It Cannot Be Fixed.

According to Wikipedia, "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, known in Japan as Hello! Pac-Man (ハロー! パックマン), is a side-scrolling game sequel to Pac-Man. Incorporating both puzzle and action-adventure elements. It was produced and published by Namco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Mega Drive/Genesis systems, and was released on April 6, 1994."

This is technically accurate.

But then so many things are.

Some kid at a basketball camp I went to had this game. We played it all the time and hardly got anywhere. All I remember is "Look, look!" and "Higher, higher!"

I have thought of LPing this game for some time, but really, it had to be done by someone with absolutely no understanding of what they were getting into.

I can't wait until you get to the end, do about 5 nights of streaming of it, and then restart. It worked for IWBTG.

Just for that as soon as this is over I'm doing a full run of IWBTG.

I don't even care.

When do you stream?

I follow a rigid schedule of "Whenever I feel like it" and I have never missed a deadline.

I own three copies of the damn game. I need to get in on this madness.

I hear the SNES version has better voices.

Oh god, one of the Genesis games that confused the ever living hell out of me... Have fun~

I legitimately consider this game fun.

If I see you on skype next time I'm planning on streaming, I'll send you an invite.

Haters gonna hate.

Hell and damnation if that is t my favorite walking animation.

What is the best thread?

This is the Best Game.

I was totally thinking that when I posted that.

Glad to see Talking Time delivers!

Pac-Man has, like, THE BEST animations in this game. They all need to be added as emoticons to the forum. All of them. I ripped a few and added them to a thread somewhere, but I can't remember where now consarnit.


I played this game a lot in highschool, it was just one of those weird oddities I stumbled upon and fell in love with. It's not what you think of when see 'Pac-Man', but it's just so offbeat and strange and unique it's easy to like once you look past that.

Calling it 'Pac-Man 2' over here was a dumb, dumb move in retrospect though.

(Also the SNES version is best, the BGM and sound effects on the Genesis are so, so bad)

I've only played this in arcades. It's a very very different experience with the timer from hell in play.

From Solitayre in the stream chat:

GAHITSU YOUR QUOTE SKIPS THE WHOLE SETUP
God the things I do for you people.

I played this for about an hour once. It's an unplayable pile! Can't wait to watch the whole thing with BEAT and others' commentary for some reason.

Yeah, a mom and pop rental shop back in the day had a copy of this and I rented it a couple times myself. I can specifically recall it as a "well, there's nothing better to rent so I might as well try this again" rental. It was just kind of weird and I didn't really get it. It didn't help that I never played anything resembling a proper adventure game before, which this very much was attempting to be. I can remember my parents, who spent their share of time at Pac-Man machines in their day, being even more weirded out than I was.

But anyway, I'm highly interested to see if you actually get through this game. Heaven knows I never figured out what its deal was.

1000x this. Man the audio on that Genesis version is terrible.

Yes, but they'd need to be 1x1 pixels to be emoticon'd.

Found mine!



'Run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay' is still the best.

Last night I saw two facial expressions I didn't know existed.

BEAT may well have driven Pac-Man more insane than I ever hoped to.

I remember getting both of those now I've seen 'em, but only really remembered the hitting himself in the head with a hammer one prior to that.

It is distinctive.

Some parents beat their children.

Mine bought me Pacman 2.
