Oh, and just so we're all on the same page: Everything here is my opinion only (uh, except the comments), and does not reflect that of my employer.
I’m a big Ms. Pac-Man fan. I even ran the East Bay’s largest Ms. Pac-Man tournament of all time last December (I think about 7 people showed up). I really enjoy glitched Ms. Pac-Mans too. Hegenburger on Hegenberger in Oakland has a nice Ms. Pac-Man with no power pellets. You can’t clear a board, but just running from the ghosts on level one is pretty fun. (It’s actually one of the hacked Ms. Pac-Mans, which is also glitched — a 2fer!)
This weekend after the SF Zine Fest, we hid from the fog at a bar in the inner Sunset that had a nice glitch — all the sprites were rendered as solid colored blocks. I desperately tried to get to the Jr. Intermission to see that, but I was kind of in a hurry and rushing and I didn’t make it. In addition to all the sprites being blocks, you couldn’t see the bottom of the maze, which was a nice challenge modifier. Eric Eberhardt managed to grab some video of me playing so you can see the glitching in action!
