| history | Pac-Man Plus (c) 1982 Bally Midway. The monsters are the same, if their edible forms are changed. The maze is familiar, if a bit off in color. The prizes in the center are a bit different. Be careful, however : you may eat an energizer and find that Red Monster you wanted to chomp into at the dot still red and you now dead. Also, you might want to try eating the monsters after eating the center prize. They'll turn dangerous after turning visible. - TECHNICAL - Main CPU : Z80 (@ 3.072 Mhz) Sound Chips : Namco 3-channel WSG (@ 96 Khz) Screen orientation : Vertical Video resolution : 224 x 288 pixels Screen refresh : 60.61 Hz Palette colors : 16 Players : 2 Control : 4-way joystick Buttons : 1 - TRIVIA - Pac-Man Plus was developed by Bally Midway without the approval of Namco. Released as an upgrade kit for the original "Pac-Man" where the action on screen has been 'upgraded' so that the old patterns and tried-and-true ways of playing no longer have any validity. Shannon Ryan holds the official record for this game with 3,213,900 points. - UPDATES - The programming is is a lot like "Pac-Man" except that the maze is outlined in green instead of blue. The prizes that appear in the middle of the maze are cans of Coke, cocktails, green beans, cakes, gift-wrapped boxes, etc. Whenever Pac-Man eats an energizer, the ghosts not only turn blue but they also get apple stems on their heads. On later levels, sometimes only three of the ghosts turn blue. The game plays exactly like the original except that there are various events (apparently selected at random) that may or may not occur after Pac-Man eats one of the four power pellets. These events include but are not limited to : the maze's structure becoming temporarily invisible, the ghosts turning invisible while they are blue, or only three of the four ghosts turning blue. The prizes in the middle of the maze can also act as a power pellet. Another difference is that later in the game the maze's structure becomes permanently invisible. - SCORING - The scoring system is very similar to the original Pac-Man game. Dots : 10 points Energizers : 50 points Monsters after eating energizer : 200, 400, 800, 1,600 points Monsters after center prize : 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200 points Soda Can : 100 points Vitmo : 300 points Peas : 500 points Apple : 700 points Grapes : 1000 points Galaxian : 2000 points Bread : 3000 points Pancakes : 5000 points - SERIES -
