How to Play Ms. Pac Man Online
Ms. Pacman holds the record for the best selling arcade game of all-time. First introduced in 1981 as a feminine version of Mr. Pacman, the game made some improvements and added a few more mazes to the original version. It has been available for Atari, Game Boy, XBox and now you can play Ms. Pacman online just like you played it in arcades.

Wait a few minutes for the game to load. After the opening sequence, you'll need to "insert a coin" just like in the original arcade game. Insert a virtual coin by pressing the number 5 on your keyboard. Make sure you use the 5 on the main keyboard and not the 5 on the numerical keypad.

Use the arrow keys to maneuver Ms. Pacman around the maze. Use the left, right, up and down arrows to move her in the corresponding direction. Be sure to avoid the ghosts while you eat the dots because you will lose a life if they touch you.

Eat one of the four blinking dots in the corner of the screen to make the ghosts edible. The ghosts change color and blink. However, this is only temporary and the ghosts do change back to their original color and stop blinking when they are no longer edible.

Clear the maze of all the dots to advance to the next level.

Tips & Warnings
Look for the four open areas, two on the left and two on the right, of the maze. You can quickly duck out one of these areas to avoid the ghosts and end up on the other side of the maze. The ghosts cannot use this trick to follow you.
