Major Nelson has posted a link to great PDF of a 1982 book on how to get high scores on Pac-Man in order to help any of you out who may be competing in the XBLA World Pac-Man Championship. I downloaded it to take a look and needless to say it's pretty hilarious, not to mention in-depth. And when I say in depth I mean sixty pages of non-stop Pac-Mania with everything from memorizing patterns to making your own strategies. There's even a chapter on Ms. Pac-man if that's the way you roll.

I was going to post a picture of the book's cover, but this back page with the author's pictures was just too good to pass up. It scarily reminds me of my high school year book. Oh, the pain! Flynn De Marco
