Nateo Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 As for myself, I usually wait until lots of ghosts are grouped together, nab a power pill, and crunch the ghosts. And when I am going for survival instead of points, I tend to use the tunnels a lot on account of the ghosts seldom using them to get around.

ubersaurus Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 If I recall, the arcade version had patterns one could take advantage of. I wonder if any were ever developed for the 2600 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted March 27, 2002 Author Share Posted March 27, 2002 I don't think the arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man had any kind of pattern, it was randomized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Only the fruit selection was randomized (after the bananna board), the boards had a pattern. But since you can't predict what fruit is going to appear you can't get to a set score before the level 256 bug. I believe at level 256 the dots dissapear.

StanJr Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I usually play to survive until I get the only extra life you are ever awarded, then I just play to avoid the ghosts and eat as many as I can late in the maze, until the power pills become useless (due to their 1 sec. duration). Then I just run for my life. Ms. Pac-Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 quote: Originally posted by StanJr: Ms. Pac-Stan This is the best signature you have ever had. My Ms. Pac-Man strategy is to eat all the dots except one, then devote myself to eating ghosts. After the fourth power pill is over, I eat the last dot. This particular plan works well for a while, but quickly becomes impossible and I just try to survive. I fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 quotethe boards had a pattern You sure? I know that no pattern works on any arcade Ms. Pacman (ditto for the 2600 version) Well, then again there is this certain pattern on the 2nd board where you pass through the blue ghost but it's only for the first couple of seconds that's it's really consistent enough to do that.. So I wonder if there is a certain initial pattern in each board but the ghosts randomize after that. hmmmm.... p.s. If anyone's interested in the 'pass-through-the-blue-ghost' pattern, just let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebossy Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I do remember that. Post how. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 sure! 2nd maze, do this: You'll pass right through Inky (aka the blue ghost) Just be sure the Red ghost doesn't come down your way though.. remember, like I said.. there are no true patterns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
