Pac-Man Championship Edition 5:00 Championship Mode 497,350

I can repeat it pretty well, but there are days when I can't get an opening to save my life. I often run into problems very early. At around 4:40 on the third energizer, if the blue guy goes up instead of backwards and to the right, I pretty much have to give up because nothing else will fall into place at that point. The other big starting point snag can be at 4:33 when I pause before I eat the energizer. I can get a dozen or so different results depending on the timing of that. Drives me nuts!

I've found that trying to turn early so sparks fly really helps me nail the third energizer. Sometimes it can take me an hour or so to get warmed up enough to get past the first three minutes.

Like you, I probably discard a good 85% or more of my starts, so don't feel discouraged; I'd bet most of the good players are doing the same.

I don't know what your high score is, but don't be afraid to play through games just to get experience with the higher speeds.

I'm topping out at 382k right now. I've actually had some games where I eat the clovers but blew both eating stages. An average start for me seems to be around 58k (in the opening eating stages) with the high 60k and 70k+ games being kind of rare.

It certainly seems like right now my biggest obstacle is trying to link together the opening of the key stage without a suicide. Anyway, I might join TwinGalaxies forum since Youtube doesn't seem conducive to detailed discussion.

I literally jumped up and down after this run, though I was kind of let down after I watched it and counted all the missed points.

Thank you!
