PacMan in the Maze
From a discussion that started on 100:
Use the maze racetrack as the setting for some different game scenarios. My example:
Pac-Man:
Players: 5
Ships: Marauders, of the same type, with the same loadout.
Additional Requirements: Some guide/dev intervention to create the scenario.
Rules: A set number of single cargo crates (less than or equal to the capacity of the chosen ships) are spawned throughout the Maze racetrack. The Pac-Man player is dropped into a point in the middle of the maze, and begins attempting to navigate it and collect all of the cargo. The 4 Ghost players are then dropped one by one into the maze at the same spawn point, and must attempt to destroy Pac-Man.
Though all of the ships are armed, Pac-Man's weapons are disabled.
If Pac-Man is destroyed, the player is returned to the spawn point in the maze instantly, any cargo units already collected disappear. Pac-Man has 3 "lives" to attempt to recover the cargo.
If Pac-Man collects all of the cargo units, the player wins. If Pac-Man runs out of lives, the Ghosts win.
Throughout the maze would be 4 special cargo units. If Pac-Man collects one of these, the Ghosts' weapons are disabled and Pac-Man's become active for a short time. If a Ghost is destroyed, it is returned to the center of the maze after a 5 second wait.
The game would play out mostly like the original Pac-Man. Variations can be made as to the strength of the weapons, number of cargo units to collect, or presence of the "Power Pills" that allow Pac-Man to attack the Ghosts. To make it as accurate as possible, the weapons would have to be a one shot kill. Rockets, missiles and mines would probably be banned from this event for various reasons.
Obviously, this mini-game depends on the whether it is possible for the guides and devs to create the scenario as described. If it could be scripted into a discrete piece of code, perhaps it could be triggered by a properly sized/equiped group of players.
