Playing the game Lady Pac on PC!

(Drat, I captured this with an incorrect scale filtering setting so it didn't come out as sharp as it should have.)

You can get Lady Pac for however much you're comfortable paying or not paying from:

Windows version: https://lowcarb.itch.io/lady-pac-pc-version
C64 version: https://lowcarb.itch.io/lady-pac

0:00 - intro screen
3:53 - visual filters (F10)
4:32 - scaling (F11)
5:08 - title screen & Options
5:41 - playing around
7:00 - okay playing 4 reel
21:56 - high score run
41:40 - Expert & 6 Ghosts
45:08 - Easy & 6 Ghosts
54:51 - wrap! ^D ^

On the default settings (Normal Difficulty, 3 Lives, 4 Ghosts), Lady Pac definitely easier than Ms. Pac-Man--I cruised to 80K+ points, whereas lately I've been unable even to get close to my old Ms. Pac-Man high score of 65K or thereabouts. Of course, the bonus stages here help, with 20 fruits worth 200 pts each to collect, and a 6K bonus for getting all of them within the time limit! But also I reached stage 13 here, according to the high score list (that does count bonus stages, but still), whereas the highest I've reached in Ms. Pac-Man is I think 7...maybe.

I love the option of being able to have 5 or 6 ghosts (haven't been able to see yet if eating 5 or 6 in one go maxes at 1600 pts or if it keeps doubling!), and I love the colors of the new ghosts! The colors of the new maze color schemes are delicious, too! : D And how you get a new color scheme with each new level! And well the Difficulty option (changes ghost edibility duration and move speed, I think? and you get separate high score lists per difficulty setting: Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert) is great, and of course the random mazes, those are something I've always wanted in a Pac game done well! And this Pac-game is done really well!!

Oh! I was puzzled by getting other fruit (35:58) after reaching and eating a banana, but apparently that's how Ms. Pac-Man works, according to the wiki: random fruit after banana https://pacman.fandom.com/wiki/Ms._Pac-Man_(game)#Gameplay_Info . (In Ms. Pac-Man I barely ever even reach...oh, they're pears, not avocados. ; )

Lady Pac game starts with a scanline filter effect over the screen, but you can toggle through to turning that off with F10 (F11 toggles scaling size, F12 toggles windowed/fullscreen, P toggles Pause, Home returns to the main menu, and ESC quits the game entirely).

Uh yeah Tutankham is obviously after the name of EGYPTIAN pharaoh Tutankhamun/Tutankhamen aka King Tut so why I kept trying to say it was set in like Central or South American tombs well uh oh well that's just because I'm a big dummy-head! = P

Author Luca Carminati has a lot of other classic-arcade-style games, most in both C64 and Windows versions, and some of the others are definitely right up my alley as well. : D
