In continuation of our “Arcade Classics” theme week here on OMB, and by specific request from Lisa Marie, I bring you the classic Ms. Pacman!
This game is actually pretty good, though as I recall after you get past each 2 levels the maze used to change, and on this reproduction it doesn’t seem to. But everything else is pretty good so it’s definitely an amusing little time waster.
Controls are simple, just use the arrow keys to change directions!

I love the old arcade games, bought two years ago an old Atari game-console and for whatever reason that is the only real gamefeeling for this classic arcade games. Sadly I can’t find the old Atrai Joysticks anymore … I played Pacman on my PC… it is different.

The best ones are those that you sit at and look down. Do you remember those? There was Ms. Pacman of course. But I can’t forget about favorites like Galaga.
I know exactly what’re you talking about Derex my uncle owned pong. The most basic of all games I recall playing.
Awesome!! Thanks, John! I’ll be back to play tomorrow, for sure!

Thanks dude, Ms. Pacman is probably my all time favorite game, many people don’t understand the intricacies that make it superior to Pacman but those in the know do. If anyone hasn’t tried out the new edition on Xbox Live I recommend it it’s pretty sweet too.
i love this games and i love the music it plays
