I4ve just watched Neil Chapmans first place inp.file on Pacman Midway (pacmanm) Great stuff Neil!! I was quit a good Pacman player myself back in the 804s (i scored 1 mil+ sometimes..) but I don4t remeber any patterns of my gameplay, only of the first 10 levels or so..(posted 9371 days ago)I have some questions for you pros at the game:
When Neil plays his Pacman inp file hes does like I did when I played the game in the arcade. He changes the pattern when the ghosts are blue for one second only and don4t even bother to take them.
Question 1: To score the maximum you must take all four EVEN when they ar blkue for on second?? If thats the case the maximum is MUCH harder than I thought!(And belive me I thought it was diffucult as it was..)
Question 2: Refering to Neils inp he changes his way of playing a lot in the beginning. Sometimes starting from the left and the next time from the right: Is this the "universal" pattern for the game to score over 3mil??
I remember that i only had 3 ways of playing i think.. One for the first 1-5 levels something and then i used the same pattern as long as i could,only changing it when those ghosts where blue so very short time.
My pattern involved great risks I remember hehe so it was not a good one...
Anyone who can explain a little more of the strategy of Pacman to me?
Regards
QRS
ps and once again Neil: Great Pacman inp.! AND Circus charlie as well!
