Pac-Man GBA - 81310 pts! Chunky & slow & I get my highest Pac-Man score ever! (Pac-Man Collection)

Описание: Playing Pac-Man--and a bit of the other three games--in Pac-Man Collection for GBA, in the emulator mGBA in Windows!

My Pac-Man playlist:    • smbhax's Pac-Man adventures!  

0:00 - Pac-Man Collection
1:05 - tips: Pac turns faster near ghosts?!? Travels faster while ghosts blue??
2:23 - Pac-Attack
3:41 - Pac-Mania
4:45 - Pac-Man Arrangement
24:07 - Pac-Man (scroll)
26:45 - Pac-Man (fullscreen)
2:14:10 - hi score run
2:30:43 - wrap!

The game with which I was confusing Pac-Man Arrangement at first was the 3D graphics game CALLED "Pac-Man Arrangement" in Namco Museum Battle Collection for PSP, and later presented as "Pac-Man Arrangement CS Ver." in Pac-Man Museum Plus (which also had the original (2D) Pac-Man Arrangement, the same one included in this GBA Pac-Man Collection--this 2D "Pac-Man Arrangement" comes from a 1996 "compilation arcade game" called "Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2").

Oh the "one way paths" tip 2 (0.50) was talking about were the s-paths above the ghost house. 'p'

I didn't play the scrolling version of Pac-Man enough to tell if it runs kinda slow like the fullscreen version. The fullscreen version was baffling me; took hours to work out that it was running a bit slow which was causing me to take risks in a subconscious attempt to get around the maze faster--but then finally when I got to a later faster stage the speed felt comfortable instead of too fast and I got like my highest Pac-Man score probably ever. 'p'

The collision on at least some of the "fruit treats" is wonky, like you can go what seems like pretty much all the way through the strawberry (sometimes? from one side?) without it being picked up.

Thanks to mGBA's author endrift for helping me work out the command line format to set a specific audio level (ie "-C volume=[integer between 0 and 256]"). = D

Update: the sensation of slowness in this game is only in the full screen mode, and it's because in full-screen you don't get a little ~1 pixel boost when taking a tight turn around a corner! Doesn't sound like much but it makes a HUGE difference. Figured it out when I was playing the similar mode in the GBA collection w/ Ms. Pac-Man--Namco Museum (    • Ms. Pac-Man (GBA) Full screen mode = slow ...   ) --that came out a month before this one, then came back to this one and yet, same thing here. So I think I'm gonna have to play these in the scrolling mode, which still does have the little speed boost when turning, as the Pacs were meant to be!
