Title: Robbie Lakeman scores 12.1 million on Super Pac-man
Post by: homerwannabee on January 04, 2015, 03:22:22 pm
On the heels of the 2nd place POW Mario score Robbie Lakeman makes history by breaking Les Martin's fabled Super Pac-man score.  What made this accomplishment so great is Robbie didn't had to make his own patterns for this game.   
He also started out at an ill advised right before bedtime, but went chugging along for quite some time.  What was interesting in the game was after the 10 million mark the game stopped giving out extra men.   I guess they figured 104 men was enough for the game.
So congrats Robbie on such a high score.  A score some thought couldn't be beaten.

Congrats Robbie! It was clear you were making progress on this game. I think you did okay on this run.  Kappa

A little more info: Final score was 12,111,640. The game time was about 15 hours 9 minutes with a 20 minute break around the 12 hour mark. The 10 million point rollover happened at about 12 hours 30 minutes. Unfortunately I don't know how many stages Robbie clear so maybe he can let us know.

Thanks guys.  This was my first attempt at marathoning anything since DK has been the longest game I've played just over three hours.  This was more of a trial run to see how I will hold up along with remembering all those patterns.  There are a couple patterns i need to work on so i don't lose lives to variances.  I also didn't know that the game stops giving lives at the first rollover, that was something I had never heard of.

Ill do it again sometime, but not until I get some patterns sorted out.  Some of the patterns i used had extremely tight turns which got me out of pattern a few times.  Go to my Twitch channel I have most of it highlighted.

Hey, that's one of the SuperPac challenges, those hairpin-turns! Tighter than Pac! :P
If a 50+ and a 45 yr old can make those turns, surely a 27-yr old can too? hehe  <stirpot>
