chrisbid Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 im sure it probably just me, but this game is dam hard, i cant reach the third board. It was nice of Atari to give you the option to have fewer ghosts, but im not one to cheat that badly. Am i crazy to think the ghosts have much better AI in this game than previous PacMan games on the VCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchfynde Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Hell yeah, this is a fast, tough game, the damn ghosts seem to gangbang ya a lot. I need to snag this game, since I quit playing it on emulation a while back, since it's hard to turn those corners using a keyboard rather than a joystick (which I don't have for the computer!)!

sku_u Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I like the game, but i don't think I've ever gotten past the second screen. I have a harder time with this version than the arcade version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixellated Ghost Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I also agree that this one is very hard, I'm lucky enough if I can clear the first maze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I don't think that the AI is all that advanced. Just that unlike the arcade game, they will do a 180 when they move offscreen (running right back at ya). This is the single most annoying part of the game, but perhaps it was necessary given the programming. Techs? Is a truer version possible where the ghosts do not turn around?

Godzilla Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 yea jr pac is tough nugget that spankkers me. but i still like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I think that it's possible...since it looks like the ghosts follow the maze from the center box even when it's off-screen. There's no way that I'd be able to hack a 16k 2600 rom any time soon, tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Obviously Jr. Pacman is hard. Because there's a thread like every 3 or 4 months about how hard it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Yes it's hard. I don't like not having escape tunnels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icbrkr Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I'm not sure if it was a bug or what... But while I was playing the cart when I got it, I noticed that one "dot" never went away. I "ate" this dot over and over, and then the maze ended. I guess the game keeps track of how many dots you eat, and that's when it figures to cycle the maze.
