Released: 1995
Ms. Pac-Man is a maze game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1982 as the sequel to Pac-Man (1980, Arcade).
+ Has a few exclusive mazes from Level 9, and the difficulty curve is more gradual than the Atari Lynx port (1990).+ Unlike the Atari Lynx version, this one includes a zoomed-in camera option in addition to the full maze view.
+ Ghosts have unique behaviours and speeds, and their A.I. is incredible as you can actively watch them trying to flank you.
+ Bonus fruits bounce around the screen to raise suspense, and the extra tunnels give you more ways to escape enemies.
- Bare-bones port compared to the Sega Master System version (1991), as it's missing a large amount of mazes and modes.
- Gameplay speed is quite pedestrian throughout, and there's no option to skip the between-stage cut-scenes.
- While Pac-Man (1991, Sega Game Gear) offered competitive and turn-based multiplayer, this game only has the latter.
