Very good port of the classic arcade sequel to Pac-Man! Since Pac-Man eventually disappointed many Atari 2600 faithful, one would hope Ms. Pac-Man would be much better, and it sure was. I actually didn't think Atari 2600 Pac-Man was as bad as others would say, but I digress.. the main differences you'll notice between the arcade Ms. Pac and this port is that the ghosts seem less strategy-oriented here and more intent on catching you. Even the orange ghost that is normally moving to its own beat will pursue you. Also note: Blinky (the red ghost) is CRAZY fast! If he is right on your tail, sayonara. Unfortunately, there are no intermission scenes like in the arcade, but the action and general feel of the original gameplay are largely intact. All the bouncing fruits are here, too! Good sound effects and music (as opposed to Atari 2600's Pac-Man) make this a must for any avid Atari 2600 collector! Programmed by Mike Horowitz and Josh Littelfeld.
