adam242 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Alright! Just a few quick rounds to get me started on the boards: Pac-Man '82: 21050 and Pac-Man Arcade '12: 14050 I'm playing NTSC-style this round. Actual cartridges for both games on my XEGS in the living room on the big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Lots of scores already Just running around without a strategy... you have legs on your Pac-Man?!! Alright!

Actual cartridges for both games on my XEGS in the living room on the big screen. Nice The good thing with the new Pac-Man Arcade ver is it adjusts the gameplay to make the speed the same on NTSC or PAL systsems (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I have about 46k saved on my cart from the last time I played. Tried the 82 version and could only get 28k. Those wide horizontal corridors are killing me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk40001 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Managed a better score today: 31210 I never actually played this game before. I learned bit about behaviour of ghosts today, also how to escape (sometimes) from certain situations. Hope to get better on controls of pac-man soon as this seems to be my major problem now. Pac-man (at least the one I have here at home, yes TRBB - the one with legs ) seems to be very own-minded creature. It does not really care much about my joystick instructions. Left does not mean left to it, it often just goes straight or even backward instead! This become to be an issue especially when the game gets faster Edited February 11, 2013 by jk40001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 These scores aren't that great but it's a starting point. I'll need to put some serious time in if I hope to get close to any of the high scores. 82 Pacman 46,540 Pac-man Arcade 46,430 PS. I played both versions off my Pac-man Arcade cart.

adam242 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Slight improvement at Pac-Man Arcade... 21500. It's weird jumping back and forth between the two games, really accentuates the differences. I doubt I'll be very competitive at either version, so I'm spending more time on the one I prefer. (Great job, tep392!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to see one of the coders play their game I've just started work on my 1st ever M/C game using my newish Mac/65 cart, hopefully will have something for this year's abbuc contest (!) - Question about game speed adjustment - did you make use of the 'PAL indicator' or is it more complex? Would be great for HSC play if other games were like this (anyone know of any others - did Beef Drop do this?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the PAL indicator and have a second table of speed values that had been scaled up by 60/50. Nothing complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
