    I got close to a perfect pacman clear twice. Can’t remember the exact number of either run, but one was a little over the 3mil mark. I got excited and fucked it up.

    The other was maybe 100k below that.

    Both were high enough that nobody even got close.

    I was absurdly good at pacman. Pretty damn good at centipede, though I wasn’t obsessed with it the same way, so I don’t remember any scores at all.

        The ghost movement is not random. They go in memorizable patterns. So it is possible to simply rote memorize the solution to all 256 levels or something.

          I mean I kind of got the gist that it’s a set pattern, but when I play, I feel like the movements are specifically designed to be inescapable past a certain point.
