Pacman for PC does not persist high scores

pac-manpc

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.

BTW, Bandai has graciously put the "Pacman Championship Edition 2" for free on steam until May 10th, fun modern version of the game.
