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.
