I watched a video

from retro video game mechanics explained about the pac-man kill screen. It talked about when you get to level 256 in pac-man the right half of the screen is covered with fruit. Now I know how many levels pac-man has.

the video also said that the record was I think 3 hours and 11 minutes for pac-man. I was thinking I can barely get to level two and there are people who can get to level 256 in 3 hours. I don’t know if I could get to level 3 with 3 hours of trying.

I have probably played pac-man for 30 years off and on and I still have not gotten to level 3. That is how bad I am at pac-man. I like the arcade version of pac-man. i think its better than the atari 2600 version. For sure.

Today I want to talk about pacman

on the Atari 2600 I read in 100 best video game characters that pacman had 255 levels. I don’t know how many levels the Atari 2600 pacman had but, I am sure it had more levels than the ones I was able go get past.

I probably only got past level 2. I was not good. Of course I never thought much about how I could be better at the game.

I liked the the sound of pacman eating the pellets. And when I ate one of the things that would make the ghosts blink I liked that sound. I think it was a square that made it so that the ghosts could not kill pacman.

I don’t have any special memories of playing pacman.

If I can remember anything else I want to write about pacman I will write it in another blog post.
