BillyHW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't get why the Lynx version of Ms. Pac-Man starts off so slow. Gratuitous scaling on the title screen. Animation is a bit choppy. And the ghost AI seems a bit off from other versions. But now that I'm done complaining...game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'll get the bonus challenge out of the way first. 36,160 Arcade version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Commodore 64 for the bonus: The C64 version of Ms. is the best home port BTW. Using save states I was also able to get to all 4 maps, as well as the 2 additional alternate colour maps in MAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Woo Hoo, I was happy i got over 60k I didn't think it would be a record breaker. Sweet! 63,710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm curious why they didn't use the vertical mode of the Lynx for the arcade levels. Seems like it would have been a perfect application of that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 My tip is to get the fruit. Both Pears and both Banana's. It'll really boost your score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I really want to make it to the second intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well, I made it to the 2nd Intermission but with only 33,440 points and I'm on my last life. I have so much trouble with the 2nd and 3rd mazes. The 4th is easy by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so much trouble with the 2nd and 3rd mazes. The 4th is easy by comparison. For me the 3rd maze is much more difficult than the 2nd one. It's easy to get trapped. I never got to the 4th maze on the Lynx version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The 3rd is definitely the hardest. With save states I was able to make it really far in MAME, but I haven't tried with the LYNX version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I never played around with the save state settings on MAME or Handy, or any other emulator for that matter. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
