Ms. Pac-Man is a game that was released in 1991 by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear (as well as a variety of other systems). The Mega Drive and Master System versions are enhanced remakes of the original arcade game with a large number of extra mazes and maze types, while the Game Gear copy is a straight port.

Although it is virtually identical to the SNES game of the same name, the Mega Drive version is more difficult as Ms. Pac-Man does not respond to joystick presses as well as the SNES game does. The Master System and Game Gear versions do not have this problem.

Gameplay

Players move through a maze gobbling up dots while avoiding ghosts. If a big dot (power pellet) is eaten by the player ghosts become eatable and if eaten their eyes depart from the body and flee to the center of the maze, where they can claim a new body. Occasionally fruit and other objects float through the maze and give bonus points if eaten.

On the Mega Drive and Master System versions there are many new extras. There are four types of mazes: Arcade, Strange, Big, and Mini. A Pac Booster ability can be turned on and off, which gives the player a boost when pressing a button. There is also two-player simultaneous feature in which the first player will play Ms. Pac-Man and the second will play the original Pac-Man. This can be done in cooperative or competitive modes. The game also would end at level 32 in which a game ending would be displayed. The "fruit" selection is also expanded and objects such as shoes could be eaten for greater points than fruit in the arcade version.
