    Last week I was swimming in the coral, having a really good run, and my fish disappeared. First time ever.... it vanished. I pressed up/down many times... nothing. And the game continued without my fish. Really weird!

    Hey! Good tip!! 
     

    Yes, I’ll try at a steady pace. I won’t play game after game like I’ve been doing.... it doesn’t help. 
     

    I’ll try just a few games each night. 

     

    your pep-talk along with that monster game I just had.... no way I’m quitting !!!

    Highest score I’ve ever gotten on this one. Once you get to the key, the scores really start jumping drastically. Extremely high scores are very possible with this game guys, just focus on clearing boards and getting to the key. Every time you eat the key it adds 10,000 points to your score!  You may be surprised, but you’ll see what I mean.

    Thanks for agreeing that the power-pellet-timing is a little off. And I TOTALLY agree... when I have to complete a corner that's near the ghost-box, I now purposely don't eat the ghost because he'll just come right back and stop me from completing the board ... it's one of my strategies !!! And YES it's 1000 % better than the Atari game. I'm only complaining because I SUCK on this version and its VERY frustrating :)  I said earlier ... had this come out in 1980 or 1981 it would have been the absolute BOMB (as in totally amazing).

    I just don’t get why I can’t eat the power pellet and the ghost at the same time. That was a staple move on the arcade version. it allowed me to eat at least 2 ghosts if not 3 ghosts with every Power pellet. 
     

    It should have been programmed into this version. It’s as if the programmer never played Pac Man. 
     

    it’s also programmed on this version to clog-up the tunnel if you go into it. No problem... it just makes this version more difficult than the arcade version. That doesn’t bother me. 
     

    The squished maze on this version doesn’t bother me. The points per fruit doesn’t bother me. 
     

    But the timing on the power-pellet. That’s a blatant mistake.

    I'm at 50,000 thinking it's near impossible for me to do better ........ Hard to believe for you folks that I was incredible at arcade pac-man. I had no patterns but I could clear a couple dozen boards with one quarter. None of my old tricks work here. I came up with a couple of minimal tricks on this one that help a bit. I'm just glad that I led the pac-man leaderboard for that long !!!! Woooohoooooo :) :) (One day).

    Almost none of my old tricks work on this port ... my "famous tunnel evasion" trick - on Intellivision, they clog the tunnels every time ... my "eat the power pellet and the ghost at the same time" trick ... No ... the ghost eats me every time - I guess after trying 20 times I've learnt my lesson. There's no tricks on this port. Just "eat the freaking dots as fast as you can and get the H out of there". :)
