Very true actually!

I have it on the Jaguar, Megadrive, Atari ST and used to have the Spectrum version too.

I've got it on the Master System and that's certainly a pretty good version too.

...Did MD have a 'Namco museum cart...?

No matter, can't vote in this one, don't think I played a Pac on either system. So I'll just vote for Road Rash :lol:

I object to the initial premise being centred specifically on Pac Man. It's like me rating them based on how much like cheese each one smells.
My SNES smelled like Red Leicester for a while, so perhaps that's the Victor?

Lol, not certain about this Pac man premise...it's pac man wars rather than console wars :lol:

But if that's what it's based on...Game gears pac man was light years ahead of gameboy. A bit of an unfair comparison, the gameboy has many strengths of course, but comparing it pac man game vs pac man game the GG is so much better.

Probably should have been Lynx Vs. GG for a fairer fight but even then the Lynx would have still won :wink:
