Ever wonder what some games would look like if they were released in this day and age?

Well, Gaming Garbage on Youtube shows us just what would Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 would look like today. While, the video had my sides splitting, it's also an unfortunate and damn near accurate representation of all the disruptive crap that haunts our videogaming today. 

Remember a time when you got a game, got home, popped it in and instantly started playing? That amazing feeling has been deflated these days by long installations, day one patches and broken online servers. What a shame. 

Here are some of my favorite comments from the video as well

Goobli bloo! - You forgot the part where you sit through twenty different company logos before you get to go to the start screen.

strongbadman27 - you forgot the unskippable 20 minute tutorial level that treats you like you have no common sense whatsoever

Bobchillingworth - Don't forget the "share this moment on Facebook" prompt every time you get 50 points or lose a life.

The tutorial comment hits close to home as well cause there is nothing more annoying than a game, especially FPS's that force you to play their crappy tutorials like you have no idea how to play FPS games. You played one, you played them all. The controls for these games never change. I don't need a tutorial to tell me how to crouch, aim down the sights, and reload my gun. Stop this. Now.
