Are you talking about the bonus &#x27;fruit&#x27;?<p>That was he one thing I complained most about with the Atari PacMan. I don&#x27;t think I ever noticed the flickering ghosts specifically, or even how different the bird layout was vs the arcade version.<p>But instead of a cherry&#x2F;orange&#x2F;pretzel that moved around the screen, the bonus fruit was a dark-brown square inside another slightly-larger light-brown square. It didn&#x27;t move, it didn&#x27;t look good, and as a kid I felt like this was the classic example of either the game designers cutting corners or limitations of the system.<p>I used to joke about this specific example as one of the key reasons to move on to better consoles when they came around.
