Pacman for PC does not persist high scores
I used to play this game years ago and I recently found it again, so I decided to try it.
To my surprise, every time I lose and start another game, the previous score is not persisted, it's back to 0.
I don't actually remember if it was always like this, or if there is something wrong with this installer/version of the game.
Does anybody know if it's possible for this app to persist the score locally (offline) between game (and app) restarts?
Thanks
EDIT:
I downloaded it from https://qpdownload.com/pacman/
EDIT:
When I played it years ago in Windows XP, the game did save the progress in a file called neavePacman.sol.

This isn't the official Pacman, if you want to get the original version, try running the arcade ROM with MAME. The arcade version does save the high scores.

High scores can be saved automatically either on exit, or a few seconds after they're updated in memory. To change the setting, activate the main menu (press Tab during emulation by default), select Plugin Options, and then select Hiscore Support.How do I save a high score in MAME?
Playing Pacman is easy to learn and hard to master (like all classic games). Simply score as many points as you can eating the small dots all around the maze. 10 points per dot (240 of them). Big points come when you eat 1 of the 4 Big flashing dots called Energizers worth 50 points located in each corner of the maze.Erasing High Scores - Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Arcade1up
