This channel contains various Pac-Man strategies, including patterns to achieve a Perfect Game.
Beat Pac-Man using 3 simple patterns
Use only three patterns to clear boards 1 through 255 and get to the kill screen!
Pattern 1 is used on boards 1 through 4
Pattern 2 is used on boards 5 through 20
Pattern 3 is used on boards 21 through 255
All three patterns clear the entire board and get both prizes.
These patterns are significantly easier to learn and execute compared to the maximum point patterns on this channel. They are ideal if you want to get far in the game, but aren't concerned with getting a perfect score.
To my knowledge, having the ability to get to the kill screen using only three patterns has not been possible before. These patterns are different than most others you will find in history in that they clear the entire board and do not contain any flicks, or sudden changes in direction. In terms of difficulty, they are about as simple as you're going to get.
Hopefully someone finds these patterns useful. They were a lot of fun to develop.

Perfect Game of Pac-Man - 3,333,360 Points
Переглядів 28 тис.4 роки тому
This is a perfect game on the MAME emulated original version of Pac-Man from 1980. At the end of the final board I decide to get myself caught in the side of the board rather than give the ghosts the satisfaction of ending my game :) This perfect game attempts to exclusively use patterns rather than grouping. I say attempts because I do go off pattern twice during the game. First, on the board ...
Perfect Pac-Man Patterns - The 256th and Final Board - The Split-Screen
Переглядів 3,4 тис.4 роки тому
This is the final board of Pac-Man, the "Split-Screen". A perfect game of Pac-Man ends on this board with a score of 3,333,360. There is no way to proceed beyond this board because there are not enough edible dots to make the game advance beyond this point. Besides the regular looking maze of dots on the left side of the board, there are 9 dots on the right side that you can eat as well. Of the...

Yeh, by the first Galaxian level (8:20) the ghosts always manage to catch up to me when I reach the upper-left quadrant. If there are some cornering strategies required to clear that part, they should've been mentioned.
Different than my old pattern but much more effective.
Ive tried these on my 1up arcade partycade and I get rogue ghosts who ruin the pattern is this an emulation issue or a timing issue on my part by premoving turns or not premoving or something?
that’s what im tryna figure out for example pattern two when i turned left to go across the board the pink one didn’t reverse maybe it’s a timing issue idk
@@highoctaneR6 I’ve heard the ghost are a fraction of a second slower on the one ups.
im using android fbneo emulator non mame, this not working pls help mostly bc inky behavior is not the same, he caught me right in the corner first cherry and sometimes before left turn before the first energizer (bottom right one, just left to bottom left energizer)
Sooo Coolllll!!!!!!
19:11 pattern 3 start
The first pattern is faulty, I keep getting intercepted by the blue guy at 0:45 Sometimes he comes up from the bottom and gets me on the right side of the ghost cage
same happened to me sometimes but i fixed by if u see him coming from the bottom when u turn right before going down just pause for a second so he doesn’t eat u , got passed level 5 now
😢
bro's a madlad
I know I'm late with this, but there is one problem. These patterns, while generally useful, are not perfect. If followed as shown here, they don't always work.
Second pattern seems to have more risk than the patterns I used as a kid and didn't seem to go after any of the ghosts. 3rd pattern had more risk than mine, but can't say if it was faster or not.
How do you safely exit the hiding spot and finish the board?
is so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is so helpful
At 4:44, pinky always runs towards me and and gets me. I’ve tested this several times now on both board 5 and board 6, and I’m confident my pattern is correct. Help!
SAMEEEE
How did you start with 4 lives
what version of pac man is this? and what console? someone plss answer i need help
First of all, thank you very much for your sharing, finally a solution to the game :). Unfortunately for me it's hellish, I tried in Pandora box or even in mame on a powerful PC, with arcade terminal controller or joystick or xbox controller or mechanical keyboard, the pattern works very well on the first level but from the second or third, I always find myself against inky. I have pattern1 in front of me, I made a drawing, I know it by heart but unfortunately I must be too slow when I turn.
I cant avoid pinky in pattern 2 lvl 5 when i get to the top right corner after avoiding Blinky Pinky doesnt turn back to the left but comes right at me instead, im using the xbox 360 version on xbox 1
yup same maybe it’s the version i heard the ai can be different
Me who is playing the NES version: *hits start* ok ima come back in a bit
Struggling to get this to work on Mister fpga. 1st pattern worked but at second power pellet here, ghosts are in different spots and one goes down through tunnel.
Perfect 3,333,360 points in 4 hours & 3 minutes. A new world record 3:57:03 the level 256 killscreen. Due to 8 bit binary integer overflow. The level counter rollback to 0 after completing level 255 8 bit binary integer. If we convert to decimal, the numbers are between 0-255 Convertion from binary to decimal: 0000 0000 ------> 0 0000 0001 ------> 1 0000 0010 ------> 2 0000 0011 ------> 3 0000 0100 ------> 4 0000 1000 ------> 8 0001 0000 ------> 16 0010 0000 ------> 32 0100 0000 ------> 64 1000 0000 ------> 128 1111 1111 ------> 255 For 256, rollback to 0. So, after completing level 255, level 256 is counted as level 0 Because 0 is lower than 8, the game try to draws 256 items. Until half of the right side of the maze filled by garbled mess The codes are [1, 0]. Starting from 1st fruit, cherry. Ended with the 256th item as a number 0. Because after 255, rollback to 0 20-9-2024 from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I have the Doc and Pies arcade and it works sometimes
6:27 Look at the ghost house. That's why my favorite emoji is 👀
What are you playing on?
@@jenniferwehrle8738 PC with keyboard. Using the MAME arcade emulator.
The most satisfying video on this platform
0:27
I had pattern one memorized as a kid. There was actually a book that told you how to do it but eventually all the kids learned it and just copied each other.
Wow I’m struggling with this one. It’s definitely not working on class of 81 pcb. Blinky goes up after the first power dot and heads right down the tunnel.
1:54 Because Inky Is His Nickname.
do somebody know a channel that teach to beat MS pac-man?
Interesting video, you either modified Goodrich and Butcher Cherrys pattern, or reinvented it (assuming you dont know them). Good stuff either way but I think the original are fairly unbeatable.
Nice !!
Sometimes on Level 1-4 Inky (Blue) attacks in the house, so I have to avoid him - It's possible to rescue our plan, but I have to Avoid Inky again in the low middle right corner. On level 5 Blinky (Red) doesn't move back in start right top corner - he attacks so I have to avoid him - From that point on I can't follow the plan for level 5-20.
Does this work on arcade one up?
In lv2 80% of time blue ghost catch me 😢 when going down in right side of cube..😢😢
2:42 timestamp to practice 😅
INSANE!@!!!
This is INSANE. Ive neverseen anyone get all 4 ghosts like thos so flawlessly. THIS is the real pacman perfect scorer right here!! P.s im retrying in 2024. Lol (80s baby)
I tried this on a Pac-Man 1980 ROM on web browser and the pattern doesn't work consistently, even before eating the pellets. Should I use Mame? What do you use in the video?
@@dentistrider3874 MAME is used in making these videos. I own an original Pac-Man chipboard and cocktail cabinet and can say with very high level of certainty that MAME plays exactly like the original arcade game.
@@PacStrats Thank you! Got it working on Mame and the first pattern works pretty well. I'm assuming that you're supposed get every turn early and not snag it late. Also, after eating the first power pellet, it shouldn't always work the same way since the ghosts move randomly during eating mode, right?
@@dentistrider3874 The ghosts do not move randomly when they are blue (eating mode). If they scatted in an unexpected way it’s because you make an incorrect turn somewhere in the pattern, likely didn’t make a turn smoothly somewhere along the way. Yes, you have to be pushing the next direction slightly before you reach any turn in any Pac-Man pattern. You don’t need frame perfect timing or anything, just be pushing the next direction before you reach the intersection. Good luck.
The easiest way to memorize it is to grab any old controller and pretend that you're controlling the Pac-Man in the video until you're perfectly in sync. Whenever you desync just rewind and try again.
This was excellent advice thank you!
i did exactly that too and it worked perfectly with any pattern for me
Where did you play this pac man beacuse I want to play 5 lives pac man do not work pac man museum+
I've never realized Pac-man is just the exact same maze with increasing speeds.
they made more than one game. Most Pacman games have multiple mazes, some like the championship edition have mazes that shift around as you play
I wonder if any unknown players over the years have developed a pattern that works on all boards. I'll bet some nerd could use AI to figure one out. Then you only have to memorize one pattern!
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Now that you mention it, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. If it were a matter of national security it would probably be solved by the end of today 😀
@@PacStrats My gut tells me it is definitely possible, but I imagine the pattern itself would very complicated to learn as it would have dozens of turns to remember. There are several AI machine learning channels here on UA-cam. I should mention that as a possible experiment for them to try.
anyone else hear "Waka Wow Brotha" whenever Pac-Man turns off of a string of pellets?
I can finally beat pacman. Thank you
