Ms. Pac-Man

[Ms. Pac-Man on the Commodore 64, by Atarisoft]

Ms. Pac-Man remains one of the most popular classic arcade games, and even today it is common to see "Mortal Kombat III" and "Ms. Pac-Man" side-by-side in the local arcade. It inspired a group of people to spend some spare time trying to beat it. It and the original, Pac-Man, have a homepage.

NEW!

Don Williams, who was one of the people in the Ms. Pac-Man Project, recently wrote to me to offer some history behind the group's mastery of the game and also to offer the actual hint guide! Here it is! (see file mspacprj.html, use jpgs as reference).

  The *best* home Ms. Pac-Man I've ever seen can be downloaded from the author's page (JROK's Homepage). And it's free!
  
• [Windows] Ms. Chomp
  This is a good translation of the original, but the ghosts are more aggressive (i.e., it's hard!). The graphics are pretty good and the sounds are sampled from the arcade game.
