Ms. Pac-Man is a classic arcade game released by Midway in 1982 (1984 for DOS) as a follow-up to the original Pac-Man (1980), developed by Namco. While its core gameplay is similar - navigating a maze, eating dots, and avoiding ghosts - there are key differences. Ms. Pac-Man features four distinct maze designs, moving bonus fruits, and more unpredictable ghost behavior, making it more challenging than the original. The game's protagonist, Ms. Pac-Man, with her bow and lipstick, was one of the first female characters in video games, adding a distinct identity.
