Baby Pac-Man (Bally, 1982) VP8 v3.3
Authors: David Britten, Kristian, Steve Ellenoff, PD
IPD No. 125

Rules:

First, a good hint to get super points: Collect the energizers on the left side and shoot the ball to the left kicker to get to the video game part.

Then go waiting right below the tunnel entrance and trick the ghosts to the tunnel. Then get the energizer and eat 'em all. From this you get 32 thousand points. It doesn't work very well if you haven't collected "Tunnel Speed" from the right outlane. You should have at least tunnel speed 3-4 to get this trick working. Then go to the middle of the maze where the fruit appears (if you have earned banana you get 50K each time). Then just go back to the pinball table, get the energizers and do it again. My high score in the real machine was over 4 mil when I used this trick continuously. It works very well in this VPM version too. Already got over 2 million points.

This trick doesn't work in the 3rd maze. The game actually has only 3 different mazes, but they change colors, and the seventh maze has invisible walls. Happy eating. :)
