So what happens after The "The Kill" ending?  ???



The game tries to draw 256 fruits, overwrites the memory used for its own display, and it looks about as bad as what I posted without hitting the preview button the other night? :)

A few of the dots are edible, but even though 9 dots reappear after every death, you have at most five lives - nowhere near enough to eat 240 dots and advance out of the board, effectively ending the game.  A complete description of the bug (with a fix) is here.  (The reverse-engineering was performed only a few years ago, and no fix for the bug was ever considered during the game's production run.  If you step through the video one frame at a time, you can see the overwriting process take place in the first four frames as the screen is drawn.)

I have a set of Pac-Man folding dinner trays that I inherited from my parents.   8)


See, I knew it!  All you rich boys get started on Daddy's Pac-Man trays!

Isn't there a Level 3 which Pac Man gets married? ???

Isn't there a Level 3 which Pac Man gets married? ???


Not in Pac-Man's three intermissions.

1) Pac-Man chased by monster, comes back as giant-ass Pac-man.
2) Pac-man chased by monster, monster gets stuck on a nail and exposes leg.
3) Pac-man chased by monster with patched robe, monster runs away stark naked.

You're probably thinking about Ms. Pac-Man:

Act 1) They Meet: Mr. and Ms. Pac flee from monsters, bump into each other, kiss.
Act 2) The Chase: Pac and Ms. Pac chase each other at ever-increasing speed.
Act 3) Junior: A stork drops a little bundle of joy onto the charming couple.  Given the mores of the '80s, we're going to assume they probably got married because...

In Pac-Jr, set many years in the future, Pac-Man Jr. courts Yum-Yum (Blinky's daughter) in another 3-intermission series of acts.

Act 1) Pac-Jr meets Yum-Yum, mom eats a power pill, and both are separated by their overprotective parents.
Act 2) Pac-Jr leaves school and hands a balloon to Yum-Yum on a nearby bridge, under the watchful eye of a suspicious Blinky.
Act 3) Blinky is found out, chases Ms. Pac away, and Pac-Jr and Yum-Yum finally escape and get some alone-time :)

The Super Pac-Man intermissions can be seen at 0:44, 2:30, and 4:43 in the following playthrough:

1) Pac-man is chased by four ghosts, and escapes by turning into a super-sized Pac-man flying overhead.
2) Pac-man is chased by a super-sized ghost, and turns the tables by turning into an even bigger Pac-man.
3) Pac-man is surrounded by two ghosts on either side, teleports away, and returns as a gargantuan Pac-man who crushes all four of 'em.

I've forgotten 1987's Pac-Mania, a couple of sequels that may or may not have had intermissions, and I haven't even seen 2011's Pac-Man Battle Royale in the wild, but there's 12 intermissions (3 from Pac, Ms. Pac, and Pac-Jr, plus three in that playthrough of Super Pac-Man) which should get you started.

So why in the 30 years that Pac Man And Ms.Pac Man couldn't work on one screen together, It would get the job done quicker?  ???

Because Google wasn't around 30 years ago.  (And because apart from Space Duel and Joust, there were few - if any - 2-player co-operative games in the 80s.)

But if you click that link, and click "insert coin" twice, that's precisely what you get: 2-player co-operative Pac-Man.  WASD controls Ms. Pac, arrow keys (or 8462 on a numeric keypad) control Pac-Man.  Nice work for the ambidextrous!

Only against Kelso in That 70s Show.  Can't say I blame her :)

I was just saying Pac Man and Ms.Pac Man could've gobbled down power pellets and ate ghosts on one screen instead of having them being separate.
