How to Win at Ms. Pacman

Ms. Pac-Man Cover Art

Ms. Pac-Man is a spin off version of the classic Pac-Man arcade game. In both games the player controls a continually eating, very mobile character through a maze filled with edible dots. The object of the game is to collect the maximum amount of points possible. The maze is also occupied by moving ghosts. If you run into one of these ghosts, you will lose one of your lives. Ms. Pac-Man is very similar to the original Pac-Man, with minor exceptions such as increased velocity of the characters.

Instructions

How to Beat Ms. Pac-Man

1. Accumulate points by navigating Ms. Pac-Man around the maze, gathering small dots (pac-dots) and avoiding the invincible ghosts. Do not attempt memorize the ghosts' movements; they are programed to move randomly, as opposed to the original Pac-Man game.

2. Move onto a large dot to turn the ghosts temporarily mortal. Move on top of them to temporarily kill them and receive points. Receive bonus points by killing multiple ghosts in a row.

3. Optimize your ghost-killing time by turning toward the wall near a large dot. This will stop the usually mobile Ms. Pac-Man. Wait until many ghosts are near you before eating the large dot.

4. Run through any of the four corridors on the sides of the maze to come out of the corridor directly across the maze. If you find yourself cornered by ghosts, utilize these corridors to escape.

5. Stop at nothing to collect the fruit that bounces through the course every now and then. These fruits are very valuable and will help your score greatly.

Tips & Warnings

• An extra life is awarded once 10,000 points are gathered.
