Pac-Man 3rd/4th/6th Key Pattern - "Whiplash"

My maximum point pattern for the 3rd, 4th and 6th key boards. It takes just 90.1 seconds to complete and works on the original Pac-Man arcade as well as MAME. It's called "Whiplash" due to the quick reversal and turns required when eating the second energizer. The ghosts only turn blue for 1 second before returning to normal on these boards and this pattern is designed to get them very close to Pac-Man before hitting the energizers in order get them all. This video demonstrates it being used on the 3rd and 4th key.

Notes:
1) Reverse direction the instant you hit the second energizer or the pattern will break. Pac-Man freezes for a few frames when eating an energizer which helps immensely but it can take a some practice to learn to do this consistently.
