I pretty much have only today free to shoehorn all those patterns into my head. And as happens every so often after a long session, I'm becoming excessively conscious of my thumb, and the fact that it's just sitting there doing nothing. Pinkie isn't a problem, just the thumb. A bit like when some evil genius says "you are now aware of your tongue inside your mouth". You're welcome. Now back to the thumb... I mean patterns. LOL. Good luck, and please do try and get a super score. Make the scoreboard show your talent on this game. It's dot munching time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's dot munching time! Memory more than skill per se. The players who use grouping are the real masters of this game. If they mess up a little, they can regroup. In both senses of the word. If I mess up even a little, I'm in a world of hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terencew Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 277950... not enough time, too tired to remember patterns. Too many mistakes, did manage one booey though! May try again if I get up early enough... got a 4hr drive for work though, so it'll be my last shot. Meanwhile for your entertainment... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely zero margin for error when using a booey pattern. It's mostly just a flex, definitely fun to watch! At least if you mess up a regular pattern, you may be able to step back and free-form the rest of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyKongFan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) 605010 Was hoping to at least roll it at 1 mil...I may try one more time before it's over to at least get 3rd place. I didn't get around to hooking it up to a real control panel, just used my keyboard. Edited January 8, 2022 by CrazyKongFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejudge Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 26,090 I use the panic method as I don't know the patterns. I have been in isolation since boxing day and have just got out this week. I was a close contact to my family who all got the virus but I did not so I haven't had access to my mame machine and couldn't play a few of the games, not that i'm a threat to any high scores. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOO Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 One of my daughters drove to Melbourne for a couple of weeks and is having a fantastic time. This is what she made and sent to me just now ... What a nice beach with hand drawn graphics ... LOL. Good times indeed. Only 5 hours to go until this game is closed.

Ace1942 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 263360 I’ve spent the time learning the patterns but it’s another thing again executing them correctly. Mistakes and lack of concentration can make a game break down quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pessimeister Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Pessimeister: 168, 100 Probably playing too safe and not going for enough ghosts; but happy anyway to be getting this far.

OOO Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Day 17 of 17 ... Final standings ... Pac-man was the most successful arcade game in the 80s. It was a sensation that no one really saw coming, and it proved to be extremely popular world wide. Whether you are a pattern or free form player, or a combination of both, there's plenty of fun and chomping in this masterpiece. 6 players managed to score over half a million points, and a trio managed to score over 1 million points. Waka waka good stuff. Congratulations to Donald Hayes for winning Game 7, with an outrageous score of 3,327,100 points. Only 6,260 points shy of a perfect score, this was a magnificent performance. He is one of only a few in the world, to score the perfect game of 3,333,360 points. 3 games are remaining to be played in MGL50. And it's all to be play for ... And if you need some more fascinating Pac-man news, just before you click away from this game, here's some more from not so long ago ... the mania ... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever seen one other person use the same pattern, but he couldn't remember which book it was either. Can’t seem to PM CrazyKongFan so I’ll post here instead as it relates to earlier posts and may still be of interest to other MGLers @CrazyKongFan I stumbled across another PAC-Man pattern book whilst doing an eBay search and thought about the MGL thread again and if it might be the one you used to have. ”PAC-MAN - the Ultimate Key to Winning” a google search found a pdf https://www.mocagh.org/vgstrategy/pacmanultimatekey.pdf Just thought I’d share thinking you’d like to know if it turns out to be the one cheers Charlie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
