Jr. Pac-Man Root Beer Strategy: fulfilling an old promise
I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions. To me, New Year’s Day is just another day that, for some bizarre reason, people make a big deal about simply because the number attached to a year increases, and our calendar … Continue reading
Ms. Pac-Man Turbo: Grabbing the Fruit, Fourth Maze
Since we’re closing out 2014, I thought it’d be a keen idea to finally close out my discussion of Ms. Pac-Man Turbo mini-patterns that provide a good chance to grab the fruit/prize/thingy as soon as it comes out of the … Continue reading

Another high score attempt

Ms. Pac-Man high score attempt: missed it by THAT much!
