        Did Ladybug win yet? XP

        I managed to get 11,610 before I found out that I could wait and the letters would be worth more points. I don't have a screenshot, because I can't figure out the function keys on this Bluetooth keyboard. :(

            Ms. Pac-Man is cool. It's so classic. Around here it's the arcade cocktail cabinet game.

                I'm getting better (12,970), but still nowhere near your score. (How can I shrink the screenshot in my posts without additional software? Are height and width tags available?)

                OK, I downloaded the pic and used a Windows application to crop & resize the photo. It'd still be nice to do this either from RA or the forum...hmm.

                P.S.
                Thanks @mitu . I used some of your config advice from an unrelated post today and I couldn't find a way to PM/DM you so I'm including this comment.

                    By the way, I'm using these settings. I'm just not good.

                      15,580 is as far as I'll get this time..
                      Looks like a win for @mitu ? :)

                      By the way, a little random fun-fact from my weekend. My wife and I played Trivial Pursuit and twice I got "pacman" questions; one was something like "which classic arcadegame inspired labyrinths for mice in laboratories" and the other "what video game had opponents named blinky, inky, pinky and clyde?" :)

                          Ladybug is cool for requiring no buttons and simply being a strategic maze chase. Jr. Pac-Man is novel for the scrolling screen..

                            Have you played the Atari 2600 port? A remarkable achievement considering the system constraints.

                              @victimrlsh I just played some Hyper Pacman (by Semicom) which I thought was only a Pac-Man (by Namco) clone, but I think it's actually cooler. It's Pac-Man, BUT the mazes are much different, you can collect a helmet which allows you to shoot the ghosts (what?), and you get "shoes with wings" that allow you to jump over the ghosts. There's probably more odd pickups, but I just played once and then wrote this. I love oddball stuff. And it's two-player simultaneous! (I thought Pac-Man Arrangement was the only two-player simultaneous arcade Pac-Man game.)
                              https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Hyper_Pacman

                              (Hyper PacMan 2 [sequel by a different Korean company] is a fun bootleg of a bootleg that's only found in the Puzzle King multi-cade). It's just wacky. You're in the topics... with a spreadshot shooting ghosts... as Pac-Man. Odd. Ball. XD
