Ms Pac Man / Pac Man
BigDaddyE:
Question on Ms Pac Man and Pac Man.
It has been years since I played the actual games with a quarter. Doesn't mean I wouldn't drop a quarter if I found one! Hell, I'd probably try to buy the machine right there!
I don't seem to remember the mazes speeding up as they do with MAME, at least so quickly (I get the mazes beginning to speed up on maze two, sometimes even on maze one).
I have searched MAWS and did not see anything that says the speed was modified. I do know there are ways to increase the speed, but I am not activating this. I also know the maze speeds up as there are less pellets on the board, but I am also not referring to this.
If anyone knows anything on this, please let me know. This will help me from thinking I'm crazy!

A machine can be set to various difficulty levels. This would affect the speed increase you're noticing.

I don't understand what is meant by mazes speeding up.
I know of two difficulty settings and there isn't a big difference between them, but that's a personal observation.
But I think that on the more difficult settings the games starts ahead something like three or four mazes as far as the energizer time you get.
(I should know the exact details, but I just woke up). ;D

Mazes speeding up: Backround music going faster, ghosts moving quicker, pac man or ms pac man moving quicker.
This happens as you clear most of the board, but I didn't remember this happening when a quarter or less of the board is only cleared on your first guy!
if I remember right, the difficulty levels are accessed in the tab menu (not in front of the game, so I thought I would ask for when I get home)?

What background music? Pacman is either eating dots or not, different sound effect for each.
