Ms. Pac-Man is the classic 1982 action maze game released for the Atari 7800. Guide the heroine through four distinct maze layouts as you eat dots, gobble power pellets, and avoid the ghosts. This port faithfully recreates the arcade experience, introducing moving fruit bonuses and smarter, more unpredictable ghost AI.
How to play
Your objective is to clear every dot from the maze to advance to the next level while avoiding contact with the ghosts. Eating a large Power Pellet temporarily turns the ghosts blue, letting you eat them for bonus points. Control Ms. Pac-Man using the arrow keys (or the D-pad on a controller) to change direction. Use Enter to pause and A to reset the game.
Tips
- Watch the bouncing fruit: Unlike the original game, bonus fruits enter the maze and bounce around. Grab them for big points, but make sure a ghost isn’t trailing close behind.
- Adapt to the mazes: The layout changes as you progress through the levels, so you cannot rely on a single memorised pattern to survive.
- Use the tunnels: The side tunnels wrap around the screen and slow the ghosts down when they pass through, giving you a crucial escape route when cornered.
