Play Ms Pac-Man Online

Ms. Pac-Man on the Sega Genesis, released by Tengen, brought the arcade favorite home with a solid port that fit right in with the platform's early 90s library of arcade conversions. It didn't try to reinvent the wheel, just delivered the familiar maze chase with the clarity and responsiveness the console could offer.

You control Ms. Pac-Man through a series of mazes, gobbling dots while avoiding four colored ghosts. The main goal is to clear each screen of all pellets, occasionally snagging a power pellet to turn the tables and hunt the ghosts instead. Key mechanics include navigating the warp tunnels on either side of the screen for quick escapes and aiming for the bouncing fruit that appears mid-level for extra points. The pacing is relentless, with ghost speeds increasing as the dots disappear, creating a real tension between cautious movement and aggressive scoring. It feels like a constant, satisfying calculation of risk and reward.
