Find the sit spot.One of the best ways to get a high score in Google Pacman is to use the arrow keys to move the Pacman character around the screen. It's a very dangerous and exacting pattern. (He may have changed it to include this.)Īlso, the kill screen pattern isn't necessary unless you are playing for fastest time. If you wait there, the ghosts align and you don't need any patterning beyond that. After the last trip through the tunnel, go up and take the second available right turn so that you hit the wall just below the energizer. There is a faster and much easier finish to the second key. (I thought I was losing my mind before I figured that out.) If you push up early, the blue form of Blinky goes a different direction after you eat the energizer. On the two-second pattern, on the final turn up toward the third energizer, you have to wait until almost the very last moment to push the joystick up. There is one huge thing that it does not alert you to, however, if you are playing on an actual machine. You won't find patterns that are more reliable than what I posted up above. I will be using them to save time however. I can get all of the ghosts without them. Edited Jby pacmanfevr76Īt this point, I do not require patterns. Once you learn a ninth key pattern, you fall into a zen-like trance and go with it. Then I started experimenting with a faster pattern:įinally, December 23 brought me to the kill screen at 3,296,110. October 7: 757,350 (board 56) (the very next game) Then I hit the ninth key, and got a little past it. I got my machine and got about 270,000 before I started reaching the ninth key. Here's how much difference that pattern makes: Once you hit the ninth key, you either know a pattern or you are dead. That game ended about where I imagined it would have. On the original Pac-Man at regular speed, a score of 293,000 is extremely good. If the game lets you continue, I am going to guess that it was also at turbo speed. Just how many quarters did you continue to pump in there? But that was OK, since I wasn't going for a perfect game. I had a perfect game up until the first orange. On the game I played today, I'm not quite sure how many keys I got, since I lost count (they really should have put a counter by the keys at the bottom of the screen), but it was about 84 keys, which was the 96th board. My high score on original Pac Man, where you don't get to keep continuing is something like 293,000, which I achieved about twelve years ago. I didn't really feel like sticking around trying to get a perfect score, but decided to stop pumping quarters into the machine once I hit a million. Pac Man/Galaga game and I found Pac Man using the joystick pattern (when the game let out the ring that sounds when you get an extra man, I knew I had done it right!). I got 1,212,190 on a game at the Porter County Fair (in northwest Indiana, just east of Gary). I just celebrated his 25th birthday by getting my highest score ever on the game. Also, they cut the equivelences to the 7th and 8th Keys in the slow game, so that the monsters would be faster than Pac Man right away, after the monsters no longer turned blue.Īnother thread says that Pac Man turned 25 this month. So, essentially, they cut out the equivelences of the Cherry, 1st Orange, and 2nd Apple in the slow game, since the monsters are blue for the longest on those (well, except for the Strawberry Board, on which the monsters are blue longer than on the 1st Orange board, but I guess they decided to give the players a break). Here is a comparison between the fast and slow games:Ĥth Key/9th Key/0 seconds and Pac Man slows down while monsters maintain fast speed In the fast game, the speed and blue time on the cherry board was equivelant to the strawberry board in the original "slow" Pac Man. The "fast" Pac Man games started in early 1982 (that's when I first started seeing them, anyway) to make things more challenging for players (and to cut down the score for a perfect game). On the "fast" Pac Man machine (where they cut out three boards where the monsters are blue for a long period of time, along with two boards before the ninth key), the one-second boards are the second apple, first galaxian, second galaxian, second bell, first key and third key.
