Would it be considered cheating to play the first horribly slow levels at, say, 80fps?

[Graham Humphrey]

Yep.

[john4p]

Thought so. Not falling to sleep during its first levels is the biggest challenge in this game.

[rexsu]

I see you love the game as much as I do
Here my incredible score: 311,040 !

[capehorn]

Just fired it up quickly to have a go, got a great score!

827,800

Actually it's quite fun. Just usually takes a long time to get a good run. Mostly because of the slow speed at the start.

Had to restart countless times until I got this:



623,290

709,010

Somewhat addictive game.

[rexsu]

I completed Pacmania



1,508,210

Excellent score, It actually has an ending ? do you know how many levels that was ?

[rexsu]

You must do 2 loops.
After the end (the final picture above), you restart the game but your score is not reset.
So theorically you can make a inifinite score !
The problem is just the focusing (the transition a hellish speed to snail speed) and of course the last levels, the purple ghosts are fast, too fast; it requires reflexes and luck
I tried another game just after and I failed...
My score was not bad though, 940k.

Congrats @rexsu for winning the Knockout.

[rexsu]

Thanks and congratulations for your performances John4p
It was a good season for us, first and runner-up for the league and knockout !

Don't you want to do some other games before the deadline ?

[seuden]

Sorry for interrupting, do you use a real Amiga or emulator rexsu?

[rexsu]

The two, sometimes WinUAE, sometimes the 1200

[seuden]

Do you have a preference? Also, do you use a pad/joystick/keyboard? I'm just curious to how the heck you do it.

Tomorrow I'll have a couple of tries again (Pacmania is addicting). Maybe I can break 1 million and/or finish the game. I definitely won't be able to reach 1.5 million though...

I use the emulator, often laziness .
However I prefer a real machine for 50 fps games because my LCD monitor is horrible for scrolling
I also like the 1200 because I can play with a joystick (Konix) which is often better for gaming than a joypad.
For example I used WinUAE for Pacmania with a joypad but I think the best solution would be to play with a joystick, specially for the latest levels. The reaction time is better with this kind of controller !

For Pinball games I use the 1200 for two reasons, the scrolling (see above) and the keyboard.

[seuden]

Ah ok, so the A1200 with a Konix. I might have to get myself one of those Konix controllers, maybe we all should, it'll give us a chance!
