A playthrough of Namco's 1993 maze-action game for the NES, Ms. Pac-Man.

In this video, I played until I hit a game over on the twenty-fourth round.

Like Pac-Man (https://youtu.be/3ugzN9sP-Tc), Ms. Pac-Man saw multiple releases on the NES.

Ms. Pac-Man for the NES comes in two distinct flavors. The version shown in this video - the official release that did a nice job of approximating the feel of arcade game - was developed by Now Production for Namco and was released exclusively in North America.

The other version, Tengen's unlicensed 1990 release, lacked the shiny gold seal of quality, but it was more faithful to the arcade game and introduced a ton of new maps and features.

Namco's Ms. Pac-Man looks and feels like an early-gen NES title - the cartridge doesn't incorporate any sort of memory mapper and the game data weighs in at just 40K - and though it's good, the differences between it and the Tengen version make it clear that the NES of 1985 was a far less capable machine than the NES of 1990.
