Fast Pac-Man Cherry Pattern (Maximum Points)

A very fast, maximum point pattern for Pac-Man's cherry board that takes about 67.5 seconds to complete. Has been tested on the original Pac-Man arcade as well as MAME. It is based off Don Hodges' "Cherry Bomb" pattern that is slightly faster (67.4 seconds) but was redesigned to avoid a quick reversal/turn that was very difficult for me to time reliably using a keyboard for input in MAME.

Notes:
1) Shortly after the first energizer, be sure you are pressing/holding UP as you travel right-to-left under the monster pen and keep doing so until you see "1600"; then press/hold DOWN. If you aren't already holding UP before you eat the ghost, the pattern may break.

2) On the final energizer, press/hold RIGHT when you see "200". Then let Pac-Man travel almost all the way to the outer maze wall before you reverse direction. If you reverse too quickly, the pattern may break.
