Talk:Pac-Man Fever (album)

CITATION NEEDED
The sound effects from the machines on the 1982 version were recorded from actual arcade machines in various locations. If you listen carefully to the opening of "Pac-Man Fever," you can hear a man ordering a pastrami sandwich (the machine was in a deli). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.220.161 (talk) 06:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

No working machine of the game could be found in time for the re-recording, so recordings of actual cat, dog, and pigeon noises were used in place of the game samples.


 * Why didn't they just use MAME??? It was around long before then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.188.169 (talk) 05:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Because while MAME did exist, it didn't yet emulate sounds for Mousetrap at the time. --Lkseitz (talk) 17:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

False cover image
That cover image (Image:Pacmanfeveralbum.jpg) is, I believe, a reconstruction, and not an actual image of the real album's cover. Compare with the link given in the image description to a real photo of the actual album. The problem seems to have originated as a user-submitted image on Amazon.

(Haven't seen the album in probably 20 plus years but knew that one just wasn't right. Probably the most telling is that I remember you could see CRT pixels on the original, as you can in the linked photo, but not in this image.) - Keith D. Tyler &para; 22:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The cover on the article is the cover for the CD version. Kouban (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

First video game album?
Was this the first album to have video games as its underlying concept? Kouban (talk) 02:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe so, but I think Get Victimized by R. Cade and the Video Victims came out the same year. The song "Pac-Man Fever" certainly preceded Get Victimized, I just don't know for sure if the album did.  (But probably.) --Lkseitz (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
