I recall playing the Genesis version of this game, and I recall it had...well, strange features for a game. It included the options for 2 players to play at the same time (either working together or not). It allowed for optional turbo, full turbo, or none at all. The last thing I recall...you could choose the type of mazes you wanted. I think there was a "strange" category, or something of that sort, and I recall one of the mazes not really being a maze at all, but more of an open courtyard with 6 power pellets (yes, 6). I never did get far in those levels...but a part of me thinks there is an end to it. Anyone want to mess with it?

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that the 'perfect' game for both Pacman and Mrs. Pacman can be fairly easily done on console without the use of tools.

I *think* it ends, yes. I remember busting out my Gameshark for unlimited power pellet duration and finding there are only like 30 "tiny" levels, for example.

*/me does a search for "pac-man".* Yeah, I mentioned the NES version once, but there wasn't much interest... About 6 months later, though, Ramzi speculated that the fruits could be manipulated to give 10000-point flowers all the time, and possibly max out or loop the score counter at either 655360 or 1000000; so he and I got to work on trying that out on the SNES version. Unfortunately, the experiment failed in quite a hurry when we found that the fruits collected in the first random-fruit level decide the randomness for ALL the random fruit after that...>_<
