MichaG Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I really love PacMan games but never saw this. Official Atari? Good to know. First try: 23540 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The reason many of you haven't seen this game before is due to it never was released, only leaked in copy protected versions. As the page on Atari Protos describes, when Tramiel acquired Atari, several of the games in development, even those just about ready to be released, were scrapped. So yes, while it has been played several times in the HSC, it never went commercial. Actually quite few home versions of Super Pac-Man ever got released. There's Power Pac for the Sord M5 and probably a few more. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I remember playing and loading this game from cassette when I was a kid, probably a pirate copy of the pirate copy of the pirate copy. This is my score after playing for the first time in decades. Regarding the bonus points... I don't understand the importance and/or the meaning of "in 1 man". Is it that I still have to have my 3 lives? (like "without being eaten"). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi materola, yes on the first life for the bonus challenges apart from the bonus screen one where it's just the score for the level - I think! - I'm not able to play until next week; looking forward to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Super Pac-Man - 31050 pts I want to call it a placeholder score, but given that my personal best is "only" 54130 pts (from 2020), I might not improve that much. Perhaps if I relearn in which order to take the different power pills and a good route through the maze to remain big and hungry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8guy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I've been unable to better my overall score - but on the bonuses... Screen 1 - 4660 Screen 2 - 8430 Both with 1 life.

AtariSphinx Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) If anyone has this issue my copy of the game would sometimes have fruit stuck behind walls and no more keys! This results in a game over even if you have more lives since you cannot complete the level. If you have that issue I used this version which resolved it.

+therealbountybob Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 I still sort of favour the original version where all the doors didn't open, you had to then use the Super pills to get them, though it may not be possible on later levels if it doesn't last very long.
