Ms. Pac-Man: Special Color Edition - Game Boy Color

All of the gameplay elements found in the original Pac-Man are present here. Eat the dots. Avoid the ghosts. Grab a power pellet. Gobble those ghosts! Still, Ms. Pac-Man added many new twists to the Pac-Man series--and they are all faithfully re-created here. There are multiple mazes to conquer and several new fruit prizes to consume. As always, you can use warp tunnels to quickly pass from one side of the maze to the other, and view cut-scenes once certain levels are bypassed. The controls are extremely responsive, letting you ditch those pesky ghosts with ease.

As if Ms. Pac-Man wasn't enough, Namco also threw in a copy of Super Pac-Man, which adds even more features to the gameplay. Both versions can be played from either a zoomed-out perspective that displays the entire maze, or a zoomed-in view that has much better graphics but displays only about a quarter of the maze at a time. This is a good translation of a revered classic that is likely to spend much time in your Game Boy Color. --T. Byrl Baker
