I've got 2nd place on HSS's scoreboard here with 189,040. :)

Pretty interesting idea with the overlays. Those two basic patterns were pretty easy to learn, it's just the soloing part that I fail with when I try to eat as many ghosts as I can.

I've been trying to get the 'perfect' patterns to work lately, but my timing isn't precise enough (yet).

I've been learning these by playing them in mame with invincibility cheat on so the ghosts won't kill you, this allows you to run the maze in sections as many times as needed to get the pattern down. It's annoying with the keyboard controls but you'll get used to it if you don't have a joystick.

One key to high scores on Pac-Man that a lot of people over look is how tight and responsive the joystick is.

Make sure you adjust the leaf switches to where it doesn't take a lot of movement to make contact. This will give you better control and improve your accuracy while changing directions. (which is needed when playing the fast versions)

I also don't like using patterns.

:D
