Ms. Pac-Man is Namco’s 1982 arcade maze classic, available to play on the NES in your browser. You guide Ms. Pac-Man through four rotating maze designs, eating every dot to clear each stage while four ghosts — Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue — hunt you down. Compared to the original Pac-Man, the sequel adds freely roaming fruit bonuses, less predictable ghost movement, and four distinct mazes that keep each stage from feeling like the last.
How to play
Steer Ms. Pac-Man with the arrow keys. Eat every dot in the maze to advance to the next stage. Four power pellets sit in the corners of each maze — grab one to turn the ghosts temporarily blue, then chase and eat them for escalating bonus points. Fruit bonuses appear and bounce through the maze; collect them quickly before they vanish. Press Enter to start.
- Arrow keys — move
- Enter — Start
- Shift — Select
Tips
- Reverse direction right after eating a power pellet — the newly-blue ghosts flee toward their home corners, and doubling back lets you intercept several in a row for the highest point chains.
- Prioritise the roaming fruit: it appears briefly and its value climbs as stages progress, from cherries early on to bananas at higher levels.
- Ghosts enter a brief scatter phase at the start of each wave, splitting toward their home corners — use that window to safely clear dense dot clusters you’ve been avoiding.
