Pac-Land Appreciation

[Zeon]

Pac-Land is a fun little platformer. I won it in an ebay auction last year and have had a lot of fun with it. The cheesy cutscenes had me laughing. The game has nice cartoony visuals, catchy music, and most importantly it's fun!

Any other Pac-Land fans on the forum?

It was the first game my neighbor got for the TurboGrafx back in 1993.

Brings back waves of nostalgia

I think I may have found some secrets, but I was never sure. Which ones do you know of?

You guys do realize that Zeon is trying to prove a point here, no?
He failed miserably.  You see Zeon no one else is crying like you did.  The description is fine- it was never Pop 'N Magic Review- it was Pop 'N Magic Appreciation.  There were plenty of solid reviews if you cared enough to track them down- my own was right here on these boards.

Sin please stay on topic, it has nothing to do with Pop N' Magic.  In fact if you check back there I already apologized and clarified my posts. The similar post structure in merely a tongue in cheek response to the initial few posts of the other thread and nothing more. Please keep Pop N' Magic out of it mmmkay? 

I am being 100% truthful in everything I say in this post. I do enjoy the rather cartoony style of the game, the cutscenes are nothing short of being bizarre and hilarious. Besides, you cannot beat that pimpin' pimp hat Pac-Man wears. I would elaborate a bit on gameplay and whatnot,(which believe it or not I do in fact also enjoy) but seeing as everyone is happy with simply enjoying a game, I see no reason to bother.

Sin, if you have anything, be it positive or negative, to say about Pac-Land, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise I ask that you please stay on topic.

I berated my friend for actually wasting money on this game BITD.

I like to watch people skillfully play this game, but I don't really enjoy playing it myself.

Pac-Land was fun enough to fool around with whenever I encountered it as an arcade, but it really is more enjoyable as a console game. I wouldn't recommend anyone traveling back in time to pay full price for it over so many other Turbochips, but it's a game everyone should try today.

my copy (card case manual) was only 8.95$

I won a US copy cib (including the outer box) last year for about $8, I was the only one to bid on it.

The controls certainly take some getting used to, but the game is pretty unique, both in gameplay and graphical style. I've never played any game quite like it.

I know what you mean spenoza, there's just something special about watching someone tear through this game, barely escaping death every corner.  It certainly is not a cake walk by any means; it gets really hard later on in the game. 

One of these days I will beat it. Speaking of which, anyone here been able to complete this game? If so, how long did it take you to get good and finally beat it? Better question, has anyone been able to 1cc this game? I'd imagine that being quite a feat.

I beat it last year at some point.  It took a few hours, and I havent touched the game since

You are aware that you can change the setup- to make the d-pad move left and right and the button jump?

anyone here been able to complete this game?

I've beaten this a few times- I don't find it difficult- however- once you beat it it turns into Pac-Land PRO -- which I have not beaten.
