TrekMD Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 This post was recognized by Justin! "Started a topic about Pac-Man!" TrekMD was awarded the badge 'Pac-Punk' and 2 points. I had to share this, particularly since we just finished the competition with Ms. Pac-Man for the 7800. Now the production of the XM units has moved forward and developers are starting to get test units, we'll be seeing new titles being made for the 7800 that take advantage of the XM's capabilities. One of those titles currently being developed is Pac-Man Collection XM, which takes advantage of the 320 mode of the 7800. The video shows a WIP for Pac-Man Collection XM for the 7800. It will require the XM add-on for Yamaha sound (done be Perry Thuente) and High Score Saving. It will work without it, but you will get standard TIA sound and no High Score retention. The game is about 75% complete with a few bugs and missing features (such as an actual random maze generator) and some missing TIA sounds (Yamaha sounds have not been started yet).

GRay Defender Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Looks like a must purchase, along with the XM, for those of us that did not get in on the pre-order so many years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 The cool thing is that Bob is making this so it works on a regular 7800 without an XM. The XM will add better sounds and music but the TIA isn't doing too bad of a job. Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauber Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 This is just effing insane. How much MORE will Bob continue to outdo himself?!? Justin 1 Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Alright, here is the latest update. Up until now the game has only used TIA for sounds (and those have been impressive); however, thanks to efforts by Perry we now have POKEY sounds added to the game. You have to watch and listen...

dauber Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Holy God almighty...nearly perfect! Interestingly, the death sound starts off like that of Super Pac-Man. Wonder if that's an early clue to a new direction. 🙂 TrekMD 1 Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Here's today's video of the game to show more progress... Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Anyone test these WIP builds on a CRT yet? I saw Bob's comment where most games didn't use these modes because apparently they look horrid on CRTs and he was curious what this game looks like through a CRT. So it has me wondering if this new Pac-man Collection XM might be the first game designed around video mods for use on flat panel displays? I do have an old JVC that has composite and s-video on it that I might have to try and see how this looks on it. But was curious if anyone else had done that first.

TrekMD Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have not done that. I've only been playing it on emulation. It'd be interesting to find out, though. Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
