Interesting fact about the two-bit Super ABC kit ... didn't realize it until
the person who bought mine made me aware of it. The ghost AI on all games
after an upgrade is the same as the Ms. Pac AI. Original Pac Man AI is
gone. You can't use the same patterns, and the hiding spot no longer works.

I consider that a serious problem. A deal killer for me even.

I just got my board back from Greg today. He installed his own kit that
simply switches between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man when you press both of the
player buttons at the same time. This kit at least uses the correct AI for
each game.

The correct Pac-Man demo sequence ALWAYS has the Pac-Man die in the lower
left corner at the "hands" of the blue ghost. And the Ken Uston "Apple and
beyond" pattern works as well.
