Jr. Pac-Man Rules!

[Atari Master]

It's ben a while since I found an Atari game that I actually enjoyed. It was once Asteroids untill I rolled the sucker. Now it's Jr. Pac-Man on my mind. I wish they would have done with Pac-Man what they did with Jr. Pac Man.

 

Even tho I can't get a score higher than 3100.

[moycon]

Well.... 3100 is better than, say.... 3000.

[Atari Master]

Make that 22670 in the selection were there's one ghost. :wink:

[moycon]

Well 22670 is certainly better than, say 22669.

 

Teddy Bear 1 LVL???

 

.....Baby

Damn it! I never played Pac-Man as a kid... So I'm not good at it. I'm trying to get use to it...

 

Tho I was a bad ass in the Genesis version of Ms. Pac-Man...

I still think It would be cool to hack Jr Pac-Man into either Regular Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man (with a scrolling screen a'la NES - we could fit the whole actual board on it now!) or one of the bootlegs - like Hangly-Man.... I wish I could do that - I definately would have done it already :(

Ooh, that version ROCKS! Big-assed screens that you have to pause and scroll around just so you can SEE the entire maze...I bought that the day I bought my Genesis and it stayed in print until pretty much when they stopped making the Genesis, which is an eternity in console games...it's still fun to play nowadays with a second player (co-op mode) and with the Pac boosters on...!

 

Anyway, Jr. Pac-Man isn't fun emulated unless you have a joystick; it sucks trying to make the turns with the keyboard. But it's supposedly Common, so I'll have to check resale shops so I can snag a copy of it so I can play it on my Atari (with the same joystick that I use for Genesis Ms. Pac-Man, of course!).

Junior PacMan is one of my favorite games. It is probably one of the harder pacman style games. I think I have only seen 2 of the cartoons. I wonder what the third cartoon is.

[Atari Master]

Ok, I'm getting somewhat better...

 

Here's were more scores started. And no, this is not for every game, just the ones were I advanced.

 

4830

5300

5840

5890

6840

13010

Junior and Yum Yum run away from their respective parents and fall in love, complerte with hearts circling around them. AWWWWWWWWW.

 

Of course, how do you tell what gender Yum Yum is?

As I have stated many times before, Jr Pac-Man is one of my favorite 2600 games. It was the first game I bought for the Atari with my own money - way back in 1986 or 1987. I have been playing this game since then and am pretty good at it. I never kept track of my score, but I can get to the final maze (never completed it) with 4 ghosts.

[Atari Master]

I trued to the mode with 1 ghost again just to see how far I could get now. My score was 56910.
