How to Get a High Score at Pacman
Getting a high score at Pacman involves hard work, determination and a lot of time. There are 255 levels in traditional Pacman. As you progress through the game, the ghosts get faster and power pellets, special pellets that turns the ghosts edible, are less effective. In order to achieve a high score, it's important to use good strategy.

Turn corners when ghosts are chasing Pacman. Because of the way ghosts are programmed, they will often stick to straight paths.
-
2
Hide in the corners created by the T-shaped walls above and below the ghosts' starting area and wait for the ghosts to pass by. Ghosts seldom go in these two spots.

3
Wait until all the ghosts are chasing you before eating a power pill to score maximum points when you eat them. Do this every level to achieve the high score.

4
Duck into the tunnel to keep the ghosts busy if you need to eat pellets on the other side. Ghosts take longer than Pacman to get through the tunnel.

5
Eat the bonus prizes when they appear below the ghost hut in the center of the screen. These show up after eating the first 70 dots and again after another 100, power pills included. Eating these will help you get the high score quickly.

Tips & Warnings
In "Pacman," you receive an extra life every 10,000 points.
Don't follow a ghost closely because they can suddenly change direction and kill your Pacman.
Avoid the areas at the very bottom of the screen and directly below the ghost hut. You can easily get trapped in these spots.
