atari-dna Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 When playing this cartridge (and attempting to create patterns for various stages--unsuccessfully no less) I have discovered what should only be considered a programming bug. I'm not sure it's well documented, so I'm posting my observation. On the 5th key, when eating an energizer, the ghosts immediately blink white/blue and there should be very little blue time at all. However, they remain blinking blue--UNTIL YOU EAT THEM. It's virtually endless. This holds true for each energizer. It's a points bonanza, too. Normal vulnerability resumes upon the 6th key and I can't comment much beyond that-- can't get many more levels beyond... Anyone else encounter this weird phenomenon?

Gabriel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I've seen it mentioned before. I think it resumes again a few keys later. I'm not good enough at the game to have first hand knowledge of it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
