Overview
Description

Ms. Pac-Man builds on the iconic Pac-Man formula, letting players navigate four distinct mazes filled with dots, fruit, and four colorful ghosts. The game adds new features like moving fruit and varied maze layouts to keep the classic chase fresh and challenging. After powering up with an energizer, Ms. Pac-Man can turn the tables and eat the ghosts for extra points, while humorous intermissions reveal the growing romance between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, culminating in the arrival of Junior.

Pac-Man is a 1980 maze action video game developed and released by Namco for arcades. Players guide the iconic yellow character through a labyrinth, eating all the dots while avoiding four colored ghosts. Power Pellets turn the ghosts blue, letting Pac-Man chase them for extra points. The simple yet addictive gameplay has made it an enduring symbol of video game history.
