Classic Game Room reviews MS. PAC-MAN for the Nintendo Entertainment System from 1990 and 1993, two versions of Ms. Pac-Man! Dig the differences between the Tengen and Namco releases of the game and guess which one could be better?

    The Tengen version was also ported to the Genesis and SNES, and is arguably even better there.

    Heads up for the Genesis version, it won't work with a 6 button controller unless you hold the MODE button on top of the controller while turning the system on. It was originally made for a 3 button controller and it doesn't respond properly to a 6 button. Thanks to this game i now know why the MODE button exists. 😂

    The Namco one is harder to find, and quite a bit more expensive, I have that Namco variant and was lucky enough to score the one I have locally, and for $20 (it was going for around $80 on Ebay at the time). It was a late NES release, a reason it is expensive like a lot of other late era NES releases.

    I like the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive versions of the Pac-Booster version of Ms. Pac-Man because they have better sounds, music and graphics. The NES version of the Pac-Booster version of Ms. Pac-Man is pretty good, but it's not 16-bit.

    I started with the AVGN, but CGR & Undertow is most likely to have an entertaining and thorough review for review remembering and collecting most of my memories. :) I was more of an Astroids/Galaga fan in the 80s. I had ~Ms. Pac Man for the 2600, and got to around maze 100 on the easy setting (only 2 slow ghosts), but I never really appreciated the high-paced action of the arcade until I got Pac Man by Namco for Android. So satisfying to narrowly escape and nab that last pellet!

    Tengen's version has a "mini maze" version in which you can see the entire screen. they also have a "giant maze" version in which the screen is even taller than the normal mazes. they also have a "Crazy" (I think that's what it was called) where every maze is played from normal, giant, mini, as well as a few others are played.

    I remember having this game and if I remember right you can play simultaneous 2 player, and as a bonus, during the 2 player simultaneous, after a certain level, if both players bump in the tunnel when both are totally off screen, a baby pac-man arrives and runs around the screen, and if you chomp it you get 10,000 points. it was the tengen version.

    Hmm I quite like the NES D-Pad. It's far better than most of the PC Gamepad D-pads out there nowadays. Although it has the tendency to "wear out" a bit after years of use like all D-pads I guess. I got myself a pair of brand NEW NES original controllers fairly cheap, although I haven't used them as of yet.

    I have been scarred by console versions of Atari classics. I liked the Genesis version for the look and options (Hold Buttton for Dash :).. but one issue tormented me to no end: if I hold a direction down early, Ms. Pac Man will not automaticallly take the corner (I have to tap the direction when she is at the corner). This added so much aggrivation to an already challenging game, I frustratedly got rid of it. My Namco Android version works wonderfully, though :)

It was the one on the Avenue Pad 6 for the PC engine Turbo Duo! The Super Nintendo is a close second to me... You know, I used to swear by the Super Nintendo controller, there was not a single controller I liked more than it... Until I used the Avenue Pad 6, that one is just incredible!
