Did anyone else get further? I got to the next break, where the monster gets its fur snagged on the nail… From what I’ve read, they went all-out on this – complete with the infamous kill screen on the 256th maze! (Anybody manage to play this for six hours yet to confirm?) > [@bouv](#): > > Maybe he means the 5200 version? For which there are ALSO emulators. 🙂 ---

Yuh, but he was looking for the version that was on the Atari 2600. The home port that was almost universally reviled. ---

No happy. Tense. Controls very suckage for me. ---

Now that’s quite an achievement. Game development in HTML5-CSS-Javascript is really not ready for primetime, and part of why I dislike Jobs for trying to force it on iPad users. ---

> [@Autolycus](#): > > The thing I don’t like is that somehow there’s a glitch with Firefox and my Google Toolbar so that it plays the pacman wakka wakka wakka sound non-stop and there’s nothing I can do to stop it minus closing the browser. Grrrr! It wasn’t the toolbar’s fault. It was this: > **[Google Pacman Sound Bug - gHacks Tech News](https://www.ghacks.net/2010/05/21/google-pacman-sound-bug/)** > > Google embedded a Pacman game on its homepage to celebrate the 30th birthday of the game franchise. Some users experienced a sound bug because of it. ---
