WTB: Mastering PAC-MAN by Ken Uston

Of course, I put this book up because it was special which really means I hid it from myself.  :angry:

Anybody got a copy they wanna sell or let me borrow so I can copy the patterns?

Thanks.

Cool on both counts.  It has been so long, I wouldn't know which patterns were Uston's though.  I liked his because there were no pauses or backtracking.  I snagged some really cool patterns somewhere years ago that were all 'flashy' like it looked like you were passing through the ghosts.  Of course, they are likely gone as well.  :banghead:

I have scoring big at PAC Man by Craig Kubey.

The patterns it has are "Donut Dazzler" "Get" and "Bazo's breaker"

I remember picking this book up in Elementary school from RIF (Reading IS Fundamental)

If you want any suggestions on those patterns let me know.

I've been playing pac man a bunch and I prefer Donut Dazzler.  That will work from the first apple, up until the 3rd key. 
I also made a video of me doing Leo Daniels Intermediate Pattern which you have to watch his videos and freeze frame them to get.  This one works pretty good.  Not to mention it works on the 2nd board and "up to the 9th key". There are some variances, but that can happen on all patterns.  I haven't been able to make it to the 9th key without save states.

THanks skuttduck.  I was browsing through back issues of Joystik magazine and found this.  I went to high school with this guy.  :lol
