Classic Home Gaming Didn't Get Much Better

As a child of the 80's, I was at Ground Zero when Pac-Man mania hit in late 1980's. Countless quarters were fed into the arcade game as we all dreamed of how cool it would be to have a Pac-Man machine at home to play with as much as we liked.

Enter the Atari 2600.

As the most popular home gaming platform in the 80's, it's first try at a Pac-Man game really wasn't that well executed or received. In 1983 however, they came out with Ms. Pac-Man, and wow! Was it an improvement! As a kid, my family played this game over and over and over, to the point where I can still hear the chomping sounds Ms. Pac-Man made as she sped across the screen.

While it was still not an exact port of the arcade game, the game play was so much better. Ms. Pac-Man was nimbler and quicker to control, there were a variety of mazes, and the sound was a huge improvement. It was near flawless and in 1984, this very Atari port won Video Game of The Year at the 1983 Video Game Awards.

If you are looking for a glimpse as to how good home gaming was in the 1980's, then your journey should start right here. No gaming collection is complete without a copy of this awesome gem of a game.

Ms Pac Man Rocks!

Only had the original Pac Man for my 2600 growing up. I heard that Ms Pac Man for the 2600 was much better. Man, their not kidding! Visually, it’s much easier to see the ghosts and tell when they’re in flight mode, and Ms Pac Man actually faces the direction she’s traveling! The sounds are much better, also. This is a very fun game on the Atari 2600!!!Read full review

awesome A++++++++

It’s Miss Pac-Man that’s one of the greatest games ever and it being an older game makes it even better now The new newest games are pretty awesome because of graphics but old-school games still rock 😎Read full review

Works as advertised

It does as advertised which isn’t bad for a game cartridge made in the 80’s. The gameplay on my 2600+ went off without a hitch
