Product ReviewsMs. Pac-Man Sega Genesis NRMT condition COMPLETE n box authentic

Ms.Pac-Man-Sega Genesis:Red Version-Game with great features but difficult to play.

In terms of pros, the game graphics are excellent in additions with the game options allowing the player to play in different modes such as classic or arcade and while I had no previous experience playing Ms.Pac-Man only Pac-Man, I do like the fact with the two-player set-up one can have the option of playing as Pac-Man. In terms of cons, an issue would be mobility as I have a difficult time getting Ms.Pac-Man into the slots I want her to go into through the controller and as a result, I haven't had success in completing levels resulting in the game play not being as rewarding or exciting as I was hoping it would be.

Sincerely,

great classic game

The gameplay of Ms. Pac-Man is largely identical to that of the original Pac-Man. The player earns points by eating pellets and avoiding ghosts (contact with one causes Ms. Pac-Man to lose a life). Eating an energizer (or "power pellet") causes the ghosts to turn blue, allowing them to be eaten for extra points. Bonus fruits can be eaten for increasing point values, twice per round. As the rounds increase, the speed increases, and energizers generally lessen the extent of the ghosts' vulnerability, eventually stopping altogether.

There are also some differences from the original Pac-Man:
The game has four different mazes that appear in different color schemes, and alternate after each of the game's intermissions are seen.
Three of the four mazes (the first, second, and fourth ones) have two sets of warp tunnels, as opposed to only one in the original maze.
The spaces between the walls have been filled in, which makes it easier for a novice player to see where the paths around the mazes are.
The ghosts' behavioral patterns are different, and include semi-random movement, which prevents the use of patterns to clear each round.
Instead of appearing in the center of the maze, the fruits bounce randomly around the maze, entering and (if not eaten) leaving through the warp tunnels. Once all fruits have been encountered, they appear in random sequence for the rest of the game, starting on the eighth round; this means that a 5000-point banana can be followed by a 100-point pair of cherries, and vice versa.
The orange ghost is called Sue, rather than Clyde; her color would later be changed to purple in Pac-Land to differentiate her.
When Ms. Pac-Man makes contact with a ghost and dies, she spins around rather than folding in on herself like the original Pac-Man did.
The three intermissions have changed to follow the developing relationship between the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (from when they first meet to having a stork drop off their baby); the latter would later serve as the attract opening sequence for Jr. Pac-Man.
The sound effects and music are very different from those of the original game, including a new opening theme and "death" sound effect.
As with Pac-Man, this game has a bug in the subroutine that draws the fruit, which renders the 256th round unplayable. However, the game also has other bugs that cause it to crash or become unplayable much sooner, making it impossible to reach Round 256 without the use of emulation.[3]Read full review...

Game worked as described. Box and instructions were complete and in great shape for the age of the game. No issues with play back on the old Sega system.

Ms pac Man on Sega is the perfect arcade lookalike.

I only wanted the cartridge cause I had the box & book. Ms pac man vanished years ago. Now I have the whole pac... Man.

It is a great product. Brings me back to a time when life was simple and you didnt have a care in the world except for popping that cartridge in and getting lost for hours. Came exactly as described. I'm very happy with it.Read full review...
