The fuck do you mean he could have been great? He's the simplest character design possible, the base game is highly recognizable but hardly fun. This is like trying to push that ship in Asteroids as a major mascot.

Bright colourful character
Varied cast of characters
Those Pacman world games could have done with some polish

Lack of imagination is what killed him, tried to mimic Sonic and Mario but didn't do it well enough
>>
>>338090327
Pac-Man as a character was never really fit for competing with the likes of Mario, Sonic or Halo. He's held back terribly by his roots and design.

His best games are 2D maze games like Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Championship Edition, which while great are hard to sell as a flagship IP in 2016. He's an artifact of a different time, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Pac-World games were average at best and mediocre at worst. They're fine like most of Pac-Man's spinoffs are but put up against all the copycat platformers in the 5th and 6th gen it's not one of the more memorable ones.

Pac-Man 2 is fucking hilarious and it's my guilty pleasure but I'd be lying if I said it's a great game.

The series shines when its being a cool arcadey maze game.

This was so weird to look at back then. A point and click adventure with pac man on the snes, but I did love the style
>>
>>338094056
I beat this game a few times.
I loved it as a kid.
Only confusing part and even to this day I have a hard time remember.
It's in the city where you need a keycard or something and you have to find your way up onto of the buildings and it's at the very end.
I would always forget what I have to do to get up there.
I figured it out though.
No guides for this guy.

Which is a real shame actually because it improved upon the first immensely. It had much more level variety. They had this stage where you use the magnet power up to scale a giant clock that's under construction, it was cool as fuck. It's a decent substitute for a proper Pac-Man World sequel.

The Sm4sh render only proves that tampering with the classic Pac design is sacrilege. He's cute as shit and based as fuck.
>>
Pacman was a fucking dumbass idea for a mascot anyway

He is literally a yellow circle with a slice cut out, how the fuck do you make that into a marketable character

I wonder what the meeting was like when they designed the humanoid version

It's not like the bar was very high. The first was a lot less awful if you ran from enemies instead of fighting them, though. I also have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's absolutely clear that it's rushed as fuck. On the other hand, it's absolutely clear that the parts of the game that were cut out in the rush job were the cutscenes, since everything in the story happens off-screen, and the unnecessary vehicle segments, since the arcade games where you play them clearly take place at certain points in the story that the main game blatantly skips through. So I guess good for them for having their priorities sort of straight.

Also, Pinky best waifu.
