Lauren Tyler Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 6,114. The left arrow key on my laptop is giving out. I ordered a USB CX40 off eBay, but methinks it's time to get a new desktop. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I've got a pocket full of quarters and I'm heading to the arcade ... Pac-Man = 3,713 Ms Pac-Man = 18,450 I need to look up my old high scores to see if I'm anywhere near them. If not, I'll take another stab at these later this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Pac Man 107348 (score rolled? Final Score: I took me 3 hours and i basically used this pattern (with 3 small changes) : With a solid pattern it's a totally different game, it's more about how long can you stand your hurting hands. After i rolled the score, i returned to free style, that saved me from playing for days and rolling dead from my chair. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 ^ sweet book! I'm gonna try that!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hey Al_Nafuur, what's the name of that book? I love checking out old strategy guides. That pattern is for screens 5-10, how's it working on the first few? I'm trying it out myself- at least playing and referencing the map at the same time adds a new level of challenge, hahaha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pattern looks a bit different to the one I run with, but you can’t argue with the results ?. Well played! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A normal per maze score is about 800 (this assumes 3 ghosts eaten per power pellet and one vitamin. In a 100K game, that's about 125 mazes. The book above states that the pattern shown is for mazes 5 through 10. That's about 115 maze 11s (or about 92% of all the mazes you'll play) which you'll face in a 100K game that this 5 to 10 pattern would presumably need to be tweaked in order to be effective. I hope he posts the pattern for maze 11. Edited May 12, 2020 by ZilchSr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title is "Pac-Man How to Score 100,000 on the Atari Home Game", i found the picture via google on that page: http://www.steverd.com/whatbook/atari-pacman.html you can find some more pictures and the ISBN there, but according to the website owner it's "Extremely Rare".

Yup, supposed to be alright ? (actually, besides from the flickering, which was horrible with my headache earlier, they're not half bad). The grandfather was played by Will Lee, best known for his role as Mr. Hooper. I barely remember the character himself but I'll always remember him as teaching children about the issue of death. If you ask me, that was one of the best things they ever did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Considering how much I disliked atari pac-man through the years, I'm very surprised by how much I enjoy this ms. pac-man. Nothing will touch the arcade ms. pac, but there's lot here to like. We'll see how long it takes for me to eat my words, but I'm liking the controls, maze differences, and how the points are the same as the original That is all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
