How many of those versions were made by Atari?  A number of them look almost identical (even if they sound different).  I can't help but cringe at the 2600 version for not even attempting to look like the arcade.  I'd even be more accepting if it looked something like this version:

The maze may still be different but the maze colors and the ghosts at least try to look like the real thing.  Of course we now have Pac-Man 4K which is as arcade-perfect as you can get on the 2600 with just 4K.

Amstrad looks nice but seems slow. Apple 2 looked putrid but seemed to scroll well. Pac-Man seemed to brush up against the green ghost on the Apple 2 and nothing happened. The Atari 800 looks no different then the A400 version.  C64 version looks okay. Colecovison looks really good. Smooth scrolling and fast gameplay. Intellivision is another good version, just needed a bigger maze. Same for the Vic-20, although it surprised me how nice the game looked. Spectrum is very impressive. Reminds me of the Coleco Tabletop version. Nes is spot on. Except for the oversized characters. Pac-Man and the ghosts seem exaggerated in size.

Did I miss the 5200 version? It has intermissions. My A400 copy of Pac-Man does not.

I like the Pac-Man 8k.
