Ms. Pacman: Special Edition Overview

All of the action and fun of the first feminist arcade game can be put in the palm of your hand with MS. PAC-MAN: Special Color Edition. You take control of the yellow disk adorned with lipstick and a pink bow, better known as the lovely Ms. Pac-Man. The goal is to guide her around the maze and eat all of the dots, avoiding the four ghosts that chase you. There are power pellets located in each corner of the maze which, when eaten, turn the ghosts blue. Once this happens, the ghosts can be eaten. Occasionally, fruit will float into the maze, which can be munched for extra points. If your friends want to play along, there is an alternating Two-Player mode. As an additional bonus, a complete version of SUPER PAC-MAN is included on the cartridge. Play as the first female arcade hero in MS. PAC-MAN: Special Color Edition.

Ms. Pacman: Special Edition Specifications

Ms. Pac-Man is one of the most successful arcade games of all time--and for good reason. This coin-snatching classic has captured the hearts of millions--and still can be found in many arcades. Now, with Ms. Pac-Man Special Color Edition, you can bring this title's classic gameplay to your Game Boy.

All of the gameplay elements found in the original Pac-Man are present here. Eat the dots. Avoid the ghosts. Grab a power pellet. Gobble those ghosts! Still, Ms. Pac-Man added many new twists to the Pac-Man series--and they are all faithfully re-created here. There are multiple mazes to conquer and several new fruit prizes to consume. As always, you can use warp tunnels to quickly pass from one side of the maze to the other, and view cut-scenes once certain levels are bypassed. The controls are extremely responsive, letting you ditch those pesky ghosts with ease.

As if Ms. Pac-Man wasn't enough, Namco also threw in a copy of Super Pac-Man, which adds even more features to the gameplay. Both versions can be played from either a zoomed-out perspective that displays the entire maze, or a zoomed-in view that has much better graphics but displays only about a quarter of the maze at a time. This is a good translation of a revered classic that is likely to spend much time in your Game Boy Color. --T. Byrl Baker
