Let's take a look at Pac-Man's Park, the titular song hailing from the second level of Pac-Mania. Let's see how this classic tune faired across platforms. I won't be including the Sharp X68000, Zeebo or iOS versions here, since there music is 100% identical to the Arcade original. The same goes for any versions found in Namco compilations or digital storefronts. Unfortunately, the GBA version of Pac-Mania, found in Pac-Man Collection, does feature a unique version of the song, but since it's not ripped online, and I'm not capable of ripping songs myself, I needed to make a mock-up version of the song instead. Thankfully, it sounds very much like the Arcade's music, and infact is a sampling of the Arcade's music, so I simply decided to take that version's music and shortened it to match the GBA version='s shorter loop. Yes, the loop really is that short, hence why I'm ranking it in last place. Oh yeah, did I tell you I have these listed from worst to best in my opinion. Nintendo fans might not take too kindly to my opinions here... Also, the MSX and Master System versions of this game were designed with PAL systems in mind, but the only rips online come from the game being inccorectly played at the faster NTSC speed, so to compensate, I simply slowed down the music to get it closest to how it sounds on a real PAL system as I possibly could. Like, the GBA, it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing, and still gives yall an idea of how those versions sound. That's all I have, enjoy the video:

Honestly they did the soundtrack dirty when the game was put on the GBA.

yeah, i think they should have done the soundtrack from scratch instead of compressing and cutting it to fit in rom

Apparently they found a way to fit longer tracks on it but namco had only provided them with the shortened tracks and they were required to work with what they were given

The SEGA Genesis version will always be the best for me. It just screams Pac-Man in all of its basic but charming 16-bit glory (just like the Arcade version), which is exactly what a video game soundtrack should be like: fitting to the product it accompanies.

Commodore 64 and the MSX fucking put the song on crack. It made it an invincibility theme!

How did in the pac god the GBA get a better music track than the Genesis. Seriously, is the Pac Mania port for Genesis that bad.

@diskyboy1990 9 месяцев назад

Because the Genesis version's a lazy port by Sculpted Software and Tengen. The sad part is that Pac-Man's Park is actually the best recreated song in the Mega Drive port, the three other songs are even worse.

@@diskyboy1990 Even the NES port was better.

@diskyboy1990 9 месяцев назад

@@yayo_youtube I wouldn't go that far, but the Genesis version is not what it should of been. it plays well enough, albeit a little too fast, and although I think Pac-Man's Park and Sandbox Land sound close enough to their originals, they should've sounded pretty much identical when you consider both the arcade hardware of Pac-Mania and the Sega Genesis used FM sound chips. Jungly Steps and Block Town both sounded pretty awful though. Plus, the poorly drawn sprites that looked almost 8-bit level in places and the lack of color don't help. A lazy port for sure. A shame Namco couldn't of handled it themselves. there is atleast an arcade sprite hack available now, but it still doesn't fix the music or speed any. Just stick with the Amiga and X68000 versions.

@JMFabiano 8 месяцев назад

The looping kills it, though.

@diskyboy1990 8 месяцев назад

@@JMFabiano indeed it does. A shame too as the sound quality is actually quite good for a GBA.
