Yeah, the "Too much hardware" requirement never sat well with with me in regards to Pac-Man Vs.  I can't imagine there were many people with a GameCube that didn't easily have access to a GameBoy Advance of some type.  And the GBA/GCN link cables were so abundant - I've got five and only bought one (Before they were in stores, I ordered one from NoA for Sonic).  Got the other four free with various games (FF:CC, Four Swords Adventures, Pokémon Colosseum and my imported Four Swords Plus...).

Didn't you have to have 3 GBAs and 3 GCN to GBA link cables to get the most out of the experence? I think Pacman used the TV and Gamecube controller and the ghosts have a certain part of the screen using the GBAs.

I think Mop_it_up just sucks at Pac-Man, its a game of strategy. Don't just grab every big dot, wait in the corner for the ghosts to come and then grab the dot!

It was the first time I played so of course I wasn't very good. I did beat it, though.

Dont tell me you hate Donkey Kong too?

It's okay. I played it only in Donkey Kong 64. I was able to get the coin that you get for reaching a certain level.

A GameCube and a GBA is too much hardware?  You could make the claim for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, but not Pac-Man Vs., assuming you play regular multiplayer games.  The game came for free with a number of other games.

You don't need a GBA per player? Regardless, I didn't have a GBA > GCN link cable. I don't know what games it came with, probably not anything I was interested in.

I GBA and three regular GCN controllers.  You hot-swap the GBA around as needed.

So what did the player with the GBA control?

So what did the player with the GBA control?

Pac-Man, who is the only one who can see the whole field.  The ghosts have a limited field on view on the main screen (purposely, to make it harder to find Pac-Man, and when they get fruit instead of Pac-Man, the field is extended).

Which games was Pac-Man Vs. included with? I think it was a pack-in with the GameCube at one point, but I don't recall which games.

Pac-Man World 2 and some game with a Ninja, maybe?

[MegaByte]

Pac-Man World 2, i-Ninja, R: Racing Evolution, and some stores gave it away without any other game.  Somehow, I ended up with 5 of those GC-GBA cables... they really tried to push connectivity for a while.  Pac-Man Vs. was easily one of the best uses of it that didn't require a ridiculous amount of hardware.
