Ms Pac-Man

Ms. Pac-Man is an arcade video game produced by Midway as an unauthorized sequel to Pac-Man. This game introduces a female protagonist, new maze designs and several minor gameplay changes over the original game. The gameplay of Ms. Pac-Man is largely identical to that of the original Pac-Man. The player gathers points by eating dots and avoiding ghosts (contact with one loses a life). Fruit bonuses can be consumed for increasing point values, twice per level. As the levels increase, the speed and difficulty increase as well. Instead of appearing in the center of the maze, fruits bounce around the maze, entering and leaving through the warp tunnels. The three intermissions have changed to follow the developing relationship between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (from when they first meet to having a stork drop off their baby). The sound effects and music of the game are very different from the Pac-Man sounds, although they both have sound effects from an IC chip. As in Pac-Man, the game has a bug in the subroutine that draws the fruit, which renders the 256th level unplayable. Instructions: Arrow keys to move.
