0:00 - semi-decent start 'p'
12:30 - right through Blinky!! = DD
17:30 - doing worse ;+;
47:42 - bit better 'oo'

Jeepers! Well, this game is hard. I wish it wasn't a bit blurry, that can't be great for the eyeballs. Man life is tough! ;_;;; I guess I had fun though, it's weird. = o

Going right through a non-blue ghost without getting hurt is apparently called a "booey"; good Pac-Man players can even incorporate it into their patterns, for instance Donny DJ's "Big Ben" pattern for Pac-Man's 9th key https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbAWU-CsPDI incorporates "an extremely rare double booey" (through two ghosts at once!), as well as two regular single-ghost booeys. = oo

It's not a "1 in 256 chance" as I pulled out of no real place in my stunned state after the booey; I've seen one optimistic estimate saying if you're facing certain doom you should always plunge directly toward the ghost as there's a "5-10%" chance you may go through safely; that seems a little optimistic but hey, it could happen! This seemed maybe a little more accurate:

“The collision detection works by keeping track of what 8x8 pixel square all the objects are on. So if you step off of your square onto a ghosts square and he steps off his square and on to yours simultaneously you didn't ever occupy the same square.”

“Dave” quoted by Hoopz on ArcadeControls.com, 2007

Oh and Burger Time was the other maze game I was trying to think of. ^ _^
