Raffle: Loose Pac-Land Turbo Chip - Winner Chosen!
« on: October 16, 2015, 09:37:49 AM »
Winner winner chicken dinner!

Congratulations Punch!


There were 7 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Punch
Galder
applejack8706
IvanBeavkov
780Racer
tbone3969
HotJuicyBurgers




I recently picked up a complete copy of Pac-Land, so my old loose copy is now not needed, and I figured I would share a game with the community that I enjoyed a lot as a kid.


If you haven't played this one, it's unique and worth checking out. I always thought the graphics were a bit overly simplistic, but the animation and colors are nice. The default controls will throw you for a loop if you do not expect them. II moves your character left, and I moves your character right, while all of the directional pad buttons make your character jump. The movement is very momentum based, and there are some tricky jumps. Another cool thing about the game are the hidden objects to find, and power pellets to find and allow Pac-Man to take out the ghosts.


It's a lot of fun, and I hope the winner enjoys it and redistributes the game back into the community when they're ready to get rid of it :)


I'll leave this open to the people who are contributing to the community positively in one way or another, so post count isn't as important as the content of those posts, and I will leave it up to personal discretion who goes into the raffle. I doubt I would say no to anyone, though haha :P


I will pick raffle entrant at the end of the 30th of October

Folks should give this a chance. It is more fun than it should be.

Plus, I actually like the odd control scheme.

Just a quick question, but does anyone know what other home ports were made of this?  I'm assuming maybe Namco Museum?  I never saw a port of it on the NES or Master System, but maybe I just overlooked it...

Don't enter me, as I only have a Japanese system and wouldn't be able to play it.  Good luck to all!

The Famicom port stayed in Japan, and I don't believe it ever came to the Master System. It was on nearly every 8bit computer, though.

It's a fun game but 20 minutes in the music can really start to feel like a drill going through your skull.

Edit: btw I am not looking to enter as I already own a JP copy of the game.

Pac Land is really a lot more fun than most people give it credit for. It's especially great as a portable game if you've got an Express.

It came out for the Atari Lynx (portable) as well.

I love the simple grafx on this game and the sound effects and songs take me to another place.  Big favourite.  I always switch the controls before playing though...


Thanks for the raffle  - do not enter me- just wanted to say thanks.

I think I may be a little new to the community to be considered but hopefully whoever gets it enjoys it!

Don't add me. Just wanted to send some TurboKarma your way for offering up this underrated game.  I was playing it yesterday!
