Right. Atari's versions of Pac-Man for PC/Apple II/etc were all significantly better than the 2600 version (and the 5200 version was near-perfect aside from the horrible analog joysticks). 2600 Ms. Pac Man was also far, far better. So they obviously weren't trying to make either Namco or the makers of other hardware look bad a la Coleco, it was just a crappy effort.
