I just wished there was arcade game series of more namco games like bosconian or mappy like.. Arcade game series: bosconian Arcade game series: mappy Arcade game series: xevious
As far as gameplay goes, Ms. PAC-MAN is a classic, and this is a paasing port by all means. It looks fine, it has plenty of settings and stuff to tinker around with (except for game speed), and it has that classic penny arcade feel. That being said, the HD menus and "autosave" are jarring and unnecessary. The game is normally stuck in window mode, so have fun seeing anything. Considering the game was much less than a megabyte on arcade cabinets, there is no reason for the game to approach an entire GIGABYTE in size. I don't know if NAMCO just hates optimizing their games, or if they are hiding unprecedented amounts of spyware, protected by the lengthy EULA required to play the game. There are plethora of better ways to play Ms. PAC-MAN. I hear there are similar problems with the other arcade game series games, so watch out.
This is one of the only ways to play [i]Ms Pac-Man[/i] these days, let alone legally, so I highly recommend you get this version of it if you love Pac-Man games, maze games, or retro games in general. It's an all-time classic with all the ghost-dodging, dot-eating, and fruit-munching action of the original [i]Pac-Man[/i] with added variety and unpredictability. At $4.99 CAD before taxes as of this writing, it's worth its price. One thing I'll warn you about is that this game's default settings are a reminder of just how challenging of a game it really is. If you don't care about online leaderboards, feel free to change its settings to give yourself an easier time and let you see more of what it has to offer. Play this classic arcade game how you want to.
Be warned D pad does not work you have to use joystick.
Works great, quick UI, exactly what you'd expect it to be. Runs the same as it would on an old cabinet in a Mexican restaurant. Used to be goated on the sticks with this. This one is interesting as it's more hidden than the other 3 games in the creatively named [i]Arcade Game Series[/i]. I had to actually go looking to find out that this was even on Steam. There's no advertising of it and it doesn't really pop up anywhere. The bundle of these games omits this one for some reason. Wouldn't be surprised if this one spontaneously disappeared or gets delisted at some point.
Great game overall. Emulator lets you customize lives, round start, and points you get an extra life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQK7PmR8kpQ I recommend picking this game up and learning the patterns of the ghosts. The video above explains the patterns well. A little boring at first but once you start reading the patterns to mislead the ghosts and get out of tight situations it becomes addicting. Personally bought the game to practice and retake the high score on an actual machine, now I boot it up pretty consistently during my lunch on my laptop.
Its Ms. Pac-Man. The arcade version. If you are interested in playing Pac-Man, this is the one to get.
Ms. Pac-Man is one of my favorite games to play. My high score is 92,000...not as good as some of the elites, but pretty good for a gamer like me. Old School Game Lover. Let's Go!!
The original feminist masterpiece, a woman doing the exact same job as her lazy husband, only faster, while being chased by four dudes that can't take 'no' for an answer. 6 out of 7.
