Retro Gaming Weekend: Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dig, Pole Position & Yar’s Revenge [VIDEOS]

I got my Ms. Pac-Man Plug and Play working again! In combination with an expansion cartridge, this gave me access to Dig Dug, as well as Pole Position. Join me as I play the first game of each of these in a year.

I did pretty well in Dig Dug, but turned in a disappointing Pole Position score. The controller is cool; if you twist the joystick it acts as your steering wheel.

I played two games of Ms. Pac-Man, with the first being the best.

Finally, I dug up the Atari 2600 Flashback machine and played a game of an Atari classic: Yar’s Revenge. Join me as I explain this game in extremely technical terms.

  1. Yar’s Revenge is great. Probably the best 2600 game, at least in the non-Activision category.

    That Plug & Play might be worth something now. There’s legal shenanigans regarding the rights to Ms. Pac-Man. A bunch of the Pac-Man games have been re-released with the Ms. Pac-Man character replaced by Pac-Mom.
