MAME ROW #33 - Pac-Mania

[dankcushions]

for pacmania, i suggest that we all start on the first level as the others have different bonus. note that if you insert a credit before the game over screen, you start on the stage you got to, so you need to wait for it to finish.

I really wish there was a way to zoom out. It's hard to know where all of the ghosts are lurking, but being able to jump helps quite a bit.

@obsidianspider

being able to jump helps quite a bit.

Until the ghosts gain the same ability. After that, I wouldn't recommend using it. It eventually becomes far more effective to use the old evasive tactics. This game's a killer in the higher levels.

@mediamogul @obsidianspider For me it is so damn hard sometimes, but it is something else than the good old pac-man. Going to join the ROW next week, good job

@obsidianspider
I just picked up a Pac-Man 256 Plug 'n Play toy by Bandai/Namco and it has Pac-Mania built into it. I might give it a try on there! I believe all the games on there are the arcade versions (you even have to hit a button to emulate inserting a coin).

It also comes with Pac & Pal, New Rally X, and Bosconian which are past MAME ROW selections lol.

@dankcushions Are you seriouse right now? How, I guess I'm so bad at this, lmao

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

You gotta get inside the mind of Pac-Man. What are his motivations? Why does insist on running from his ghosts and more importantly, why is he only able to confront them with pills?

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul Oh, I see!
I have to understand my mission

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

Exactly. The same questions can be used to better understand the music of Elvis Presley also.

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul Lmao

Btw. is your pb a generated one? If so, it is freaking awesome, if not, well, it is as well
Reminds me of some good stuff

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

PB? Good stuff?... I'm not gonna have to call an adult am I?

For seriously though, what do you mean by pb?

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul

I'm not gonna have to call an adult am I?

No, not really

PB = Profile Picture

[DarkWolf]

@backstander Jup and reminds me of Alien and the games too. Loving them

[mediamogul]

@backstander

Only the best video game ever made. Just don't listen the the haters... or anyone else who's ever played it.

[obsidianspider]

@DarkWolf I've been on forums for twenty years and I've never heard a profile picture called a PB. Avatar, sure, but PB?

[DarkWolf]

@obsidianspider Well... That's bad for me
I'm using that many times, but, uhm, I guess avatar sounds better

@mediamogul Yeah, the BEST game ever made

[obsidianspider]

@DarkWolf It's not bad, but I've never seen it before.

[DarkWolf]

@obsidianspider I guess I'm using it because I'm from germany...
And "profile picture" translated is "Profilbild" in german so that's why I'm using PB as profile picture

If that makes sense and I'm not writing some bulls**** here
