It's not really news or anything, but this is an amazing technical feat considering the hardware limitations of the Channel F.

Pac-Man on the Fairchild Channel F(homebrew)

Totally agree. I first saw the footage several weeks ago and was very impressed with how far a small group of hobbyists had managed to push the hardware. Great stuff.

I KNOW VERY LITTLE...
about the Fairchild. so I had to watch a little back catalogue of titles on YouTube, just to put this homebrew PacMan into the proper perspective. And based on what I saw, YES!... this is very impressive indeed. It's always great to see PPL squeeze more potential out of any ageing hardware and this is a great example.

I wonder if I 'll get to play it at the next R3PLAY?

I didn't know about the Fairchild until I saw this Pac Man version. When I read about the system and its capabilities, I was quite impressed with the achievement!

Fairchild Channel F hobbyists just 1 up the Jag they have Pac-Man to play now!

Wasn't there a Pacmania clone for the Jag?

Yes there was. I have it and it plays pretty good. It is called Jagmania.

I'd wish it had sound.

The game does...that video does not. LOL
