PacMan
 

Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has ever 'beaten' pac man, is there an ending? does the game just freeze? cause i know in between maze levels there's a little animation, i.e. the ghost losing his costume to the nail in the floor, pac man chasing the ghost, and so on. I read about some guy who found a secret spot where pac man would go invisible and the ghosts couldnt find him. i dunno, it's an old ass game, but one of the best.

Well, on my old Atari 2600, you couldn't beat it. Once you reached a certain point, the same level would just loop over and over until you lost of your pacmen. As for the arcade machine, you could run a test on MAME.

Personally, I never liked PacMan that much. Out of all the classic arcade games, Arkanoid owns them all.

Pacman, like most games from that era, never ends. Once you get to a certain level (I want to say level 52 or 152 for some reason) it just repeats the same maze over and over again with no intermissions after that.

Didn't some guy recently get a "perfect score" on Pac Man? That would seem to indicate there's some sort of ending - or was that for just the first (say) 52 levels?

It doesn't end. A "perfect game" is one in which so many points are earned that the computer can no longer track it so that a maximum possible score is obtained. You can continue to play after that, but your score won't go up any more.

I have to second that, it was never a game I got into; even back in the day.

i allways liked packman pretty good game in my oppinion

Dude...I love Pac-Man! Even if he wasn't a classic (like he obviously is), he's in a simple game that is fun to play, and it's VERY hard to top that. I dunno if this is already in effect or not, but if they can put Wheel Of Fortune on cell-phones, then I really think Pac-Man should be, too. Simple enough and fun enough...plus that'd be all the more motivation for me to get a cell-phone. :)
