Difficulty of "Retro Gamer" Achievement

[Mariocooper1996]

It's nice that they added Arcade Pac-Man to the game when completing the Story, but I'm annoyed that you have to clear 9 rounds in order to get the achievement.
It gets harder as you get further in with the ghosts getting faster and the power pellets becoming useless. I got to round 7 before the ghosts kept surrounding me.
Because this is an arcade game, there's no tips that can help & I got no patience to keep replaying from round 1 when I lose.
Also its weird that you can add credits when they don't even do anything.

Sorry if I sound toxic, its just annoying when they expect you to play hard on tricky Arcade games like this & this is my only achievement that I'm missing.

My best tip (on what I did) was to pause frequently. (It's an old "strategy" I did as a kid when games got to the hard part) It works well for Pac-Man because it lets you look/think ahead to see where said ghosts are coming from.

I also hear the patterns from level 2 to like 15 or so are the exact same for the ghosts, so take that as you will. You may notice Pinky and Blinky going in the top corner and spinning for a bit. They won't bother you from that time.

Also-also, you not only have to make it to round 9 but you have to CLEAR it as well. You'll know when you did when you get the final intermission/cutscene.

Level 1 is Pattern 1
Level 2~4 is pattern 2
Level 5~20 is pattern 3
There is a 4th pattern up to a certain key but I don't know about it much.

Pattern 2 is identical to pattern one except you pull away from the blue ghost.

In regards to OP, if you don't have patience then you'll never get it. You will need to learn these patterns to survive if you just want the achievement; I learned them in about 2 hours.

Edit: Almost make sure to learn the ""generic"" patterns, not the ""perfect"" variations. Those will take days to master.
