Went to ABT electroncis store today. Thay had a MS Pacman/Galaga combo machine. Old style games like back in the day. It had a coin slot but was free play. No quarters needed. Never seen that before. Anyhow the MS Pacaman was weird. It looked just like the old days. But I only got 1 life. And then after that it got harder and the power dots barely lasted 2 seconds. I don't remember that. Regular pacman had 3 lives and was not that hard untill much later. Was miss pacman different? Or was this some kinda hack maybe?

The DIP switches were set that way inside the machine.

The original Ms. PacMan has been my favorite for years. I've gotten to the point where I can whiz though the first 20 boards. The 21st board is when I start to stumble. This is the board where the speed of Ms. PacMan actually decreases a little bit, making it so you have to stay ahead of every ghost. The red one starts to speed up when you hear the wahwahwahwah sound in the background change to a more rapid tone. When your down to 70 dots, red one(Blinky) goes crazy fast!! You have to stay very far ahead of that bugger just to stay alive. It makes it really tough!!
