Crown Get! Someone on rllmuk tipped me off that Extra Mode 2 was the best one to try for the Crown, and lo, he was right. On my first go I got loads of them! Managed a score of 381,000-ish too, so I was prompted to keep trying for a 400,000 score, but every further attempt just got me less and less. With my final go I just scraped 92,000. Weak.

Challenge Mode 2 WIN! Only with a crap score as I spent most of my time hiding rather than actually trying to eat pellets or ghosts. But I did it! Had a go at aiming for the Crown too, by playing Challenge 1, but only concentrating on one side of the maze. It didn’t work.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever actually played Ms. Pac-Man before. I just assumed it was Pac-Man in drag. And it is, sort of, but slightly better aurally and graphically, and with different maze layouts (and not the same ones every level either). So why not? It’s only 400 points anyway. I quite like it. It does seem to play like it’s a public domain Pac-Man clone (like the Amiga had fifty-sixty-twelve of) rather than a sequel, but it’s …
