My opinion on speed-up ver of Ms pacman

from Stephen Krogman (skrogman@concentric.net)
Mark helped explain the rules for TG settings a little clearer. The only one I don't agree with is not being able to use the speed up method in some of the pacman related games. The original and the speed up ver. of let's say Ms Pacman are 2 different games. So therefore 2 scores should be allowed to be put in the next edition of the TG book. Yea, the speed up ver may seem to be easier then the original, but the 'grouping method used on the original, you can't use on the speed up ver. Thus making the game different in game play then the original. I have reached the kill screen in the arcade a few times with my best score being 837K, but not everytime I play it, I can reach that point. It still is hard at times because you have to stay alive with no sort of pattern or grouping method to use for over the 130+ screens.

It's not as easy as players think it is, otherwise there would be scores on the MARP page in the 800K range. I myself can't reach 400K because this is all I can get with a keyboard! A gamepad doesn't do anything for me, and untill I have the time to build my own joystick, I'll have to live with my 336,400 score for now.
