Nukey Shay Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Note: Game 6 is exactly the same as game 2. It looks like the glitch cropped up when it was decided to bookend the fast player options with the slow ones - especially baffling because it's hard-coded to use only 2 of the 15 possible movement speeds for the player variation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Haven't found the pattern for this game variant yet, and unsure if I find the time to dig my teeth into it. Would so love to roll this, but that's gonna take > 4 hrs of playing without pause, provided there actually is a working pattern for game 6A... Very unlikely that I'll have time for that. Anyway, here's a score for starters: 5,310. Edited February 13, 2016 by karokoenig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) For this season of 2600 NEW HSC, my goal is to finish on Bronze Medal Zone - 17th to 24th place - and try to win one more different medal. So, I'm not worried with my ranking! Edited February 14, 2016 by oyamafamily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) This is much more fun than game 1, where there are several patterns that let you clear the board with no risk at all. Here, there seems to be none and at least once or twice per board, you need to rely on reflexes - once everything has reached maximum speed. There is also a great risk vs. reward aspect. Once you're into the flow, you can either go for the ghosts (for crazy points) or use the power pellet time to clear the board - which will give you an extra life. New score: 14,341. This game took almost exactly 30 minutes. I lost concentration and died 4 or 5 times relatively quickly. At this rate, rollage (assuming it happens at 99,999 points) would occur after about 3 1/2 hours. If anyone needs a pee break during that time: stock up on lives, and then hurry!!!

Scrabbler15 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 1573 Every time I go back to this game, I have an unreasonable optimism that the controls may not be as bad as I remember. Then the game begins and reality sets in. . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hmm... Scrabbler, you are not the first to complain about the controls. Funny... the controls are the last aspect in this game I would consider bad. I think they are perfectly fine and responsive. IF you know how our yellow friend reacts at certain corners, which doesn't take too long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoo_chilly Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Pac-Man Game 6A 3,893 This is so much harder than game 1B! I could roll that one easily. But this will at least be challenging to group, and figure out a clearing strategy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) 2,840. I am out of practice, or 6A is much more difficult than the base game. Maybe we should play one of the homebrew Pac-man VCS games for a bonus. Edited February 16, 2016 by CapitanClassic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
