Classic Game Room HD - MS. PAC MAN for Sega Genesis review
Ойын-сауық
Classic Game Room HD reviews MS. PAC MAN for Sega Genesis (aka Sega Mega Drive). This version of Ms. Pac Man has stunning visuals and several creative mazes to choose from in addition to the arcade classics. It's an excellent version of the game and one that fans of the Pac Man series should visit (or re-visit, it was released in 1991). The new maps are cool remixes of the originals without becoming goofy and outlandish. Published by Tengen, Ms. Pac Man is an excellent Sega Genesis video game that is about as good as any Ms. Pac Man port can be. This CGR review of Ms. Pac Man on Sega Genesis has gameplay from Ms. Pac Man showing game play on Sega Megadrive.

If anyone want to Play Pac-Man on the Genesis get the game Pac-man 2 the new adventures then when you get to the main menu go to the password screen and enter PCMN0RG and it will take you to the original Pac-Man game. For the Super Nintendo version enter PCMNDPW.

You can say that again.
I loved the Tengen version of Ms. Pac-Man because you can play the game in a variety of different ways. In other words, you can play the original arcade mazes, strange mazes, mini mazes, big mazes, you can play as both Ms. Pac-Man and Mr. Pac-Man (The original Pac-Man), you can play with or without the Pac-Booster option and so much more. Back when I had a Sega Genesis and a copy of this classic Genesis version masterpiece, my mother and I would play in 2-player mode for days on end. She would play as Ms. Pac-Man and I would play as Pac-Man and we would gobble up all the dots, fruits and ghosts for days on end.

I love that you can google "Pac Man" and play Pac Man right on your screen instantly.

Google created that as part of pac-man's 30th anniversary
Best version of Ms. Pac-Man there is. I used to play through this in co-op mode with my mom all the time as a kid. Good times!
Some may complain about the graphical changes, but IMO this is the best looking version, even better than the coin op
Great game! in the early to mid 90's when the old seaside arcades were closing down they couldn't give these old cabinets away! it would have been great to have had a white van and the foresight to gather them all up at that time!
2:00 Pac-man World was awesome!
The local pizza parlor near where I live has a Ms Pac Man stand up arcade, spent 1 dollar, had a blast. Pizza, beer, and Ms Pac Man is an amazing combo
CGR got me back into my childhood memories. I've never been so excited the last couple years to collect all the old games from my childhood and pull out all my systems. There is just something about classic retro games. They are bloody charming.
Will I ever tire of Mark's reviews? Probably not. It's as if his voice is charmed so that hearing it is outrageously addictive.
"Everybody thought Pac-man jr was Pac-mans son" Best comment I have heard all day.
I am becoming a huge fan of clasic game room, ton of vids a week and very honest reviews, that is what will keep me a subscriber. Thank you.
I am going to check this out. Thank you for the info.
One improvement that I always loved about Ms. Pac-man over the original is being able to hear the duration of the power pellets. In the original, you would have no idea how many times when I'm about to eat a ghost, and the second Pac-Man's mouth chomps at it, the effect wears off. Sure they blink, but the sound speeds up and really assists in eating ghosts in the amount of time you are given. It's all so much more efficient.
one of the games i got when i got my genesis. such a fun game! :)
Best version ever!
i do remember the good old flat top arcade machine my friend use to have one lol so much fun
great review
I just got this game for Christmas along with a Retron 3 and a few more old games. Hell of a Christmas.
You're damn good at this!
Played this at the chinese place by my house when I was a kid. Great machine. I should go back to the neighborhood and see if they still got it.
I still have this game :D
absolutely love this for the Genesis!
Mark, I swear you and I are one-in-the-same haha... Ms. Pac-Man is my favorite game of all time I think, Mario Bros. a close 2nd. There's nothing like it... and there never will be again. When you can just pick up a game like this... 35 years later, have it still be JUST as fun, and yet... we don't have to commit the kind of time we do to "modern" games.... I dunno. These arcade originals are priceless and brilliant and classy!
I had this version as a kid.
When I was like 5 or 6, my dad and I played Ms. Pac-Man on the Sega Genesis almost every single night. It's where my obsession for Pac-Man kicked in lol.
nice review, this should be in hd
You think the turbo option is strange? I grew up with fast Ms Pacman. I cannot play the slow version for the life of me.

Same here. For the longest time I thought it was the standard feature. Then I saw one with slow speed and it didn't feel right.

Yeah the cabinet at my daycare had a dipswitch for fast mode
I remember playing this version of ms. pac-man when I was young, that and what I think was gunstar heroes
my mom loves this version. i remember her playing it when i was little, and i remember her playing just the other day...she loves it....along with mario brothers the original
Everything said in this review is 100% spot on truth. I'm tweeting it. At 01:24 I totally remember that. The 90s had some good things (music, movies, entertainment) but that decade also tried to screw with everything original too much. "We need this to be something new, something fresh!" .. "Um, no you don't leave it alone.." The 90s were the LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT US decade where cynicism and narcissism exploded. It was also the decade where unoriginality started to take shape around the mid 90s.
Maybe I should get this one : ) It looks pretty cool for a port
Setting turbo always on was the only way I played this on the Genesis! Much closer to the speed I remember from the arcades.
i love the table version too i tried it once at a diner when i was 7
got it and love it and makes me feel like a kid again was one of my favorites back in the day also note to self ad soda-beer can holder to PC mame just aint that right feel yet
I think this is the first version of Ms. Pacman I ever played. I rented it one weekend as a kid. I had PacMan for my Game Gear, and this game just blew me away.
This is a great game, i love playing it on my ipod touch.
i remember seeing a galica Ms Pacman arcade machine at the movies theaters here
Yes! My local bowling alley has a sit down Pac Man arcade machine =D
love this game.
I remember this review! It looks just like the SNES version.
I have never seen a home version that was as exciting as the arcade.
I used to have this game. I remember I got to like level 29 or something when I was 6.
The.Sega.Genesis.clutch.is.awesome.with.this.Plays.like.arcade.
I've actually seen a resurgence in those cocktail arcade machines at pubs and clubs in recent years.
This was actually one of my first games. The speed boost was an available option on the arcade machines (which is why they included it on this game). It truly is the best console release of Ms. Pac-Man. You should try the "Arrangements" found in the Namco Museum games. Pac-Mania & Pac-Attack are also amazing games!
Hold down the mode button on the 6 button controller when you turn the console on and it will work.
I love this channel and this video so much! I have just got a NES and i love your NES videos. Do you know if you can get Pac Man on NES? That might be a n00b question lol. Thanks again for the video. Curtis
I have never seen an original arcade machine with just MS PAC MAN on it. I always see the MS PAC MAN/Galaga reunion Machines.
I got it yesterday at a store called 'The Exchange," that sells games ranging from newer consoles (Wii, 360) to the very old consoles (Genesis, and even TurboGrafx 16).
I saw the review. 5 minutes later, ordered the game.... 0 regret XD

Tony Vane same here, even 3 years later I ordered the game after seeing this
Great sound effects... Like the arcade version.
Ms. Pac-Man + Sega Genesis? Well, except the arcade, this must be Mr. Mark's favorite game!
This is the most incredible port of Ms. Pac Man ever.
I love the stock Music!!!!!!!! =D
this games is on the top 5 of the best games ever!!!!!!!!!! i love this game!!
Love the sound the bouncing fruit makes
We have a Ms. Pac Man machine at our local laundromat! It's great to be able to play them on the original machines, but this Genesis version seems like a good home port. I'll check it out.
Great!!!!
YEAH!
i used to have this on the snes
'Dude in a dark room popping pills, I can relate'. Hilarious, that is classic. :D
In my opinion, the coolest part of this version is the two player simultaneous co-op. It's a shame he didn't get to it in this video, though I suppose I understand that he probably didn't have the time to look for someone to play it with. Still think it would have been worth a mention.
i remember playing the late 90s DOS version of pacman and i played itj up to the point of addiction. I remember i could actually loop through all 10 levels 4 times without dying once and it was much more complicated since it included extra lives and bombs too.
What's that hammering sound towards the end?
Im pretty luvky to have this game and my old Sega
I know what you're talking about, in reference to the cocktail arcade games. I got an original space invaders arcade game cocktail table from a rummage sale for $10. Still works.
ahhh memories... the good old days when you could actually find an arcade cabinet : /
My copy doesn't have the Sega label on it. Is it an earlier version?
good video
Mark, to make the 6 button arcade stick (and controllers) work with this game, hold down the mode button as it starts up. This and a few other games have a problem with 6 button controllers
It would be so nice to see these mazes on Xbox live
one of my friends has a Burger Time/Ms. Pac Man/Donkey Kong/Frogger/Galaga cocktail machine. best thing ever.
I bought this game along with a sega genesis model 1

cool story, broly
I was wondering when Mark was going to review this version of Ms.PacMan I figured he'd really like it, and whattayaknow, he does. I might have to put this in my buddy's genesis later... too bad I only have RF out!
I have a complete copy of this one, and the cartridge-only on SNES. Ms. Pac-Man is good for friendly competition. This version even has cooperative mode. I think this is one of the games that if you try to play with the 6-button gamepad, you have to hold the "Mode" button before powering the system on.
This is one of the best Genesis games ever.
I have this game I love it
When the Cherry or Prezel (or whatever it can be), sounds like somone hitting their fist on a table
my version wont let me go in certain directions. is that with all Ms. pac man games or just my copy.
My local mall has a Galaga/Ms. Pacman cocktail cabinet in the food court. :/
great review Mark. i know you feel emulators to be a bit of a sin, However, i must admit- short of having the actual ms. pac-man machine in my home... i emulate the original ms pac man arcade game with macMame, and use a 'stelladaptor' so i can control the game with an original atari 2600 joystick. next step would be building a MAME cabinet conversion of course, for the actual arcade feel. great video anyways, thanks for posting.
Mark, you NEED to go to MAGFest some day. They have free arcade games, usually including a Ms. Pac-Man table machine. You'd have to fight me for it, tho =P
Does she speed up when not chewing? She tends to slow down when chewing on the pellets. Your thoughts?
I used to have this and it was gewd.
To play with a 6 button controller, you have to hold down the mode button as you power up the game, then release it after the "Licenced by Sega Enterprise, blah blah blah" screen is gone Great review btw!
I fucking loved this game.
lol I dunno why, but I could watch someone play PacMan All day! xD
yeah, co-op was the best! i believe the snes\genesis version were ported after the excellent nes version. that's the one i used to play.
@Catlin11 How old are you? This game has been around and has stood the test of time for 30 years! If you weren't in the arcades playing this game back in the 80's, then you were sleeping under a rock.
The 1998 version of Battlezone was one of those rare 3-D reboots/remakes that actually got everything right. Actually surpassing the original.
i really love this game. is there a way to play as pacman in one player though?
I had this game on a compilation called "Super 8 in 1"..there was also a Pac Man game in 3D where Pac Man can jump..It was alright
There's a Ms. Pac-Man/Donkey Kong Cocktail machine at the Cattlemen's Steakhouse right down the street from where I live, unfortunately the joystick is broken and Ms. Pac-Man can't go left =(
i picked this game up with box & instructions for $4 at goodwill XD
i think that first 3d frogger was really good. i think it was called Frogger: He's Back or something like that
@GirafaCalorifer If you are talking about the video, it will be in a couple of minutes, when the video is done processing.
I think his reviews are all entertaining,but hey,to each his own.
Frogger 3D is actually good IMO, and i enjoyed Swampys revenge.
