Hi Charles,

As someone who has played Pac-Man as well as other games of the same
time period on a big screen TV its not so much a case of the graphics
being fuzzy as they were just not that detailed to begin with. On a
big screen TV they were blown up, looked larger, but it didn't add any
detail that wasn't already there in the game. Pac-Man still looked
like a round pizza with eyes and a slice of pizza missing, and the
ghosts were ghost shaped objects that floated around the maze with
eyes. Beyond that there wasn't much detail in anything in the game to
be seen by blowing up the game on a big screen TV.

Cheers!
