Last week’s
exploits on Mappy didn’t yield a bigger score, but did see me finishing third
in the JAMMA+ challenge, which I was happy with.
This week’s
focus is on another game from the Namco/Midway partnership from the early 80’s - Ms. Pac-Man. I’ve played a few games already and last night managed a slight
improvement (less than a thousand points) to take my high score up to 56,780.
This was a
strange game. I survived to level 6 before I lost a life, and yet at that stage
my score was far lower than on previous attempts. I can only put this down to
missing the high-scoring ‘roaming food’ items on stages 4 and 5. I then made a
complete mess of level 6, losing three lives, before finishing on level 7,
which is as far as I’ve got in the game to date.
I’m starting
to learn a pattern for some of the levels which seems to make them easier to
clear, so if I can improve that and also pick up those roamers (and a few more
ghosts) then I should be able to push this score higher. Stay tuned...
