I think it’s to more accurately portray the current design for Pac-Man of the time. In 80s Japanese promotional artwork, Pac-Man was portrayed with a long nose, and that carried through with Pac-Land. In the 90s, they significantly shortened his nose, so I guess they felt the need to alter the graphics to match this. With that said, there actually IS an option in that version to return Pac’s long nose.

What pains me the most about the Amiga port is the fact that we could have gotten something much better. I don't know if you knew about this, but a while ago a rare prototype of the Amiga version was found, which was not just a rehash of the Atari ST port like the final Amiga version was. It features the actual stage theme, better collisions, smoother gameplay, and a retro fan longing for what could have been... Here's a KZfaq link for the prototype Amiga port: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcmJZsmDuKrPZqc.html

The controls can be a bit sensitive , especially when you are running. The TurboGrafx version added intermission scenes every 8 rounds, which wasn't in the arcade version, and adds a nice ending. It also gave you an option to play a hard version of the game, which was the same levels, but with increased enemy speed.

The reason the NES/Famicom port is so poor is because it was stored in a base 40K cartridge, which had only a very small amount of room for graphics and level data. Because of this, they had to be very frugal with the tiles they used to build the world map, and were unable to make things look arcade accurate. Super Mario Bros 1 fits in the same size cartridge, but also its world's graphics were a lot less varied, so it could get away with it.

The PC Engine port doesn't "look like the Arcade" without the parallax scrollings, which was one of the notable features of the original Arcade game. It's a shame that the PC Engine lacks support for a second background layer, parallax were introduced far before the PC Engine, around 1982, with Moon Patrol or even sooner! But since Pac-Land has rather simple graphics, it's not that a disaster unlike with others PC Engine games like Street Fighter II or Forgotten Worlds. The Lynx port on the other hand has the parallax scrollings and looks really good overall! It's probably a must have for the system but I've read some time ago that it has a glitch and I haven't checked yet if it's a game breaker thing or what...

Retro Core apparently the Famicom version does the same if you play on the 2nd controller. I just found that one out myself, but I lack the cartridge to test it.

Doesn't look like much of a game to start with... I presume name recognition meant so much back in the day - probably still does - COD anyone? Just surprised it got so many ports for what looks like a bog-standard platformer...

Bog standard platformer? Hardly, it influenced Super Mario Bros after all.

Pac-man on the 8-bit ports looks laughable, especially on the NES version. The stubby legs and sometimes, arms, just looks plain silly.

The NES version is laughably bad. I'm surprised Namco thought that would be acceptable.
