FAQs

Is there a way to cheat in Pac-Man? ›

When you move around the Pac Man map, you move a lot faster when you're not eating the little dots that cover the screen. While it's important to collect as many of these as possible, if you're trying to get away from a ghost, choose a route that doesn't encounter a lot of dots to get away faster.

Pac-Man has a bug in it that prevents it from being completely finished. This bug occurs at the 256th board, where it will cause an overflow in the 8-bit byte distinct values. As a result, the final board is almost unplayable, with the right half replaced by a series of scrambled symbols, garbage tiles, and letters.

The infamous “level 256 glitch” was a bug that plagued the original arcade version of the Pac-Man game, due to both hardware limitation and programming error. As the name implies, it's a bug that happens when you reach level 256. The original game used only a single byte or 8 bits to store the level number.

For infinite lives, eat one ghost on board 1, 2 ghosts on board 2, 3 ghosts on board 3, and finally 4 on board 4. After you've done this, press Up, Down, Up and die. You'll now have infinite lives.

That means clearing all of the game's 256 stages without a mistake, and eating all the Pac-Dots (the white dots), fruits, and ghosts (which means catching four ghosts with each Power Pellet boost). Billy Mitchell of Florida is believed to be the first person to ever play a perfect game of Pac-Man.

The speed up chip versions of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Galaga are also included in the Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga - Class of 1981 and Pac-Man 25th Anniversary arcade machines. They can either be enabled as the default versions in the menu, or they can be unlocked via a cheat code (Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Fire).

Then add to this individual traits and patterns: Red ghost (Blinky) chases Pac-Man. Pink ghost (Pinky) and Cyan ghost (Inky) will attempt to ambush him by positioning themselves ahead of Pac-Man. Orange ghost (Clyde) behaves randomly to introduce a spot of chaos.

If Pac-Man is caught by a ghost, he loses a life; the game ends when all lives are lost.

William James Mitchell Jr.

He achieved fame throughout the 1980s and 1990s by claiming numerous records on classic video games, including a perfect score on Pac-Man.

What level breaks Pac-Man? ›

If you reach level 256, the game just breaks, hence why level 255 is the final one. As for the ghosts, they each have different coding, as otherwise, there would come a time where the ghosts would just all start running after Pac-Man.

Keep your closest watch on the nearest ones. Also keep an eye on Blinky (Red) and Pinky (Pink) as they are the fastest and the most skilled. In most Pac-Man versions, you will move faster than the ghosts, which means the only way they can catch you is for you to make a wrong turn, or for them to corner you.

Otherwise known as the "split-screen level" or a "kill screen", the Map 256 Glitch refers to the 256th level in the original Pac-Man. On this stage, the right side of the screen turns into a jumbled mess of numbers and letters, while the left side is normal. It is impossible to beat.

The original names of the ghosts from the Pac Man game are Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Clyde, the slowest orange ghost has its named changed from Clyde to Sue. 6. People used her as a source of inspiration for their weddings.

Pac-Man/Galaga: Class of 1981 (ARC) Here the code is a little screwy (no B or A button). Insert Up, Up, Up, Down, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left at the title screen and you should hear a dot gulp noise. Press start to play the original Pac-Man game.

In 2018, Mitchell's high scores on Donkey Kong were contested after members of the Twin Galaxies forums found discrepancies in the videos Mitchell had provided for The King of Kong, suggesting he had used emulation software to falsify his score.
