Pac Man 2nd Intermission

[sandmountainslim]

Does anyone know why the second intermission in Pac Man is shorter than the others? It seems the music just cuts off in mid note, I didnt know if this was planned by the programmers or if it is a fluke.

thanks.

I'm still trying to find out who the hell left a nail lying in the middle of the floor.

The third intermission is shorter as well.

Why did Giant Pac-Man enjoy stripping the little bug-eyed guys in ghost suits?

Because he just wanted the creme filling.

 

Regarding the topic, I suppose that it was kind of an in-joke...as if they were meant to be longer, but "bloopers" made them end early (the monster looking around as if to wonder what to do next, and the next act where it makes a hasty naked retreat). Perhaps Dav knows?

I don't know. To be honest I never really noticed it before. My only thoughts would be that they cut them down to get the play time shorter. Iirc the intro music on Make trax is a couple of seconds shorter than on the original version. A couple of seconds all day probably added up. Or maybe they didn't think people would make it that far and didn't care too much.

 

Since we're on the subject of intermissions I did a speedup chip a long time ago that doesn't break the intermissions. If anyone wants it I'll look around for it.
