      Not that many voters in here, but I really like the concept.
      Once my arcade build is finished, count on me to join this little club :)

        pacmania is fun so far! remember: you can jump in this one.

        it works in fbalpha but the hiscores aren't saving - they do after a code change but i have only just submitted it, so it won't be live until the next fba.

        it seems to work fine in mame2003 anyway, and hiscores save :)

          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.

              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

                  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.

                        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?

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

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