Ms. Pac-Man (NES) 8-Bit And Tengen Version.
5This Is The 8 Bit And Tengen Version Of Ms. Pac-Man On old school NES.
At its surface, Tengen's version of Ms. Pac-Man is an enhanced version of the arcade original. The player navigates Ms. Pac-Man through the maze, collecting dots and avoiding the Ghosts. The game is a very close rendition of the original game, and is rather technically impressive for NES hardware; the graphics are also a close approximation of the arcade visuals. To accommodate for the narrower screen resolution, the maze scrolls to display the full playfield.
Unlike other Ms. Pac-Man ports, the game ends on Level 32 (regardless of mode setting). An "Act 4" intermission is displayed, where Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man wave goodbye at the player; after a short pause, many Baby Pac-Men appear, running around the screen.
It should be noted that this game, while licensed by Namco, was not licensed by Nintendo; with Tengen being notorious for releasing NES titles unauthorized by Nintendo. As a result of this, the NES port was only published in North America. A Nintendo-approved NES version of Ms. Pac-Man was released in 1993 by Namco Hometek, but it is a different port entirely; the Hometek-published port is commonly considered inferior to Tengen's version.
Game options
Upon starting the game, an options selection menu is shown. The options menu allows the player to set the game's speed, difficulty, maze selection, starting level, and the amount of players (including three multiplayer modes).
The "maze selection" options allow the player to select between four unique sets of maze layouts; of these, the latter three are otherwise exclusive to Tengen's releases. Some of these modes also add additional bonus items in later levels. The maze sets include:
Arcade - the four mazes from the original arcade game.
Mini - very small mazes.
Big - very large mazes.
Strange - oddly-shaped mazes.
