Crazy Otto

Unless you're really keen on the idea of playing pacman as a couch coop game with several friends... not really worth bothering with. For single player the game can't compete with the originals. If you do ever get eight like minded individuals in front of your desktop or laptop and well... you got over half a baker's dozen controllers though... you might be amused for 5-10 minutes tops. That's something! Oh also funny thing about the name this used to be original name of the prototype game that ended up becoming Ms. Pacman!

An interesting approach to the Pac-Man formula and a bootleg game if I ever saw one, but a suprisingly entertaining bootleg I bought this game on impulse thinking it was actually related to the Crazy Otto game that Ms.Pac-Man was originally, but don't let that fool you, this is NOT that game This is a local/online take on Pac-Man where you can have up to eight players control the dinosaurs and the Otto family, up to six dinosaurs and four otto "people" This game feels like a pure rip off of Pac-Man, (right down to the color of the first 4 dinosaurs matching the ghosts) but with varied mazes and a suprisingly interesting approach to the formula, this feels as though it's almost like an homage/rip off hybrid game But don't get me wrong there are problems with the game, the main problem with the game is the controls and moving. I never imagined that a game maker could mess up WASD and somehow make the "input detection" feel a bit off or delayed, but this game somehow managed to mes...

It's fucking awful. Don't even think about buying this as a joke, it is fundamentally broken. 10/10 would recommend.

I've followed this game's development with great interest. How is it, after more than 36 years, no one has ever tried a multiplayer PacMan? Other than a "your turn, my turn" approach.... As this game demonstrates - there are enough characters, even if you just stick to the orginal arcade titles.... PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Baby PacMan, and PacMan Jr. - and the four ghosts.... There you go - 2 teams of 4. Well, this obviously isn't PacMan. It's Crazy Otto.... it's not even the Crazy Otto that became Ms. PacMan. It's its own thing. PacMan is well... a PacMan - and he (along with the rest of his Pac family) fight Ghosts. The old-school Crazy Otto was some sort of PacMan-like-thing with legs, and he (or it) fought ghost-like fruit-like thingies.... This game is all about Ducks and Dinosaurs. The controls could use some tightening, and I really hope to see a Super Otto at some point, who can eat eat to unlock doors and grow to Super Sized and just eat through walls and whatnot... Also...

hey peter remember the time?

Crazy Otto is an unabashed ripoff of Pac-Man (copyright, Bandai-Namco Entertainment, 1980) and seems to have been put on Steam to fight out whether or not Bandai-Namco feel like enforcing their intelluctual property rights. So far... no, but that can change at any moment, so, as with all copyright infringing materials, if you pay money for it, you're putting that money at risk. Copyright infringement is no laughing matter. So this is just Pac-Man, with a multiplayer mode (that never got used, see player stats below), and is otherwise deficient in all respects. The ghosts were replaced with dinosaurs, that's the only "creativity" involved with this very nasty copyright infringement. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, th...

Don't do it... Not even for a quarter. Why? It is not finished. Back in the day, no brick and mortar store would have sold this. Why? It isn't finished and when the customers come back saying "Hey, You sold me some bum you know what. I want my $$$ back Yo" and the store owner would pull this game from the shelves. It seems almost there but my first issue is movement is horrible. Pac Man moves up and down and left and right while this little guy and an xbox 360 controller , doesn't stay in line and gets hung on corners. Next is graphics issues- it does not like being in a window and crashes. Bummer as I was looking forward to playing, as I do with every game I spend $$$ on. I even bought a set of Trading Cards before playing. Think I will just seel the ones that will drop when I next run it and just let it idle. Then I will free up the space on my H.D. for something I would play. Its been nearly half a year since this was listed for sale and by now such simple things sho...

For the uninitiated, "Crazy Otto" circa 1981 holds a special place in arcade history as the game that would eventually become Ms. Pac-man after being acquired by Bally Midway. When I first saw this appear on the upcoming releases list, I was floored. After 35 years, the "prototype" version of Ms. Pac was going to be an actual product that I could purchase and play on Steam. I couldn't have been more excited! Unfortunately, "2016's Crazy Otto" as it's being called by developer Extend Mode isn't exactly the game I was hoping for. Yes, there are striking similarities between their version and videos/gameplay of the original that can be found on YouTube and other streaming sites. However, anyone going into this thinking they are getting the [I]actual[/I] Crazy Otto arcade ROM from decades gone by will likely be disappointed. Fortunately though, that's where most of the negatives effectively end with this version. 2016's Crazy Otto is a very capable Ms. Pac-man clone that both looks...
