Due to its success, Ms. Pac-Man received many ports and appeared in numerous compilations. It was also present as an unlockable minigame in several games such as Pac-Man World 2 (GameCube, PlayStation 2, PC) and Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (Super Nintendo), both included in this video. We have added all the versions that we knew and have been able to add, except for some that are mere emulation. Despite all our efforts, there are versions that are unfortunately not present in the video, such as the Palm OS (2004) or the Namco History Vol. 3 pack (Windows 1998).
Many portable versions include two game modes: one with scroll and another in full screen. You will find gameplay of both modes in the comparison.
This video covers only official versions of the game, so please don’t ask for clones or unofficial versions.
Which is your favorite port or conversion?

Still after all these years, Ms. Pac-Man is one of my all-time favorite games. Absolutely brilliant and so much fun!
Fun Fact: Ms. Pac Man was never canon, neither official. It was just a funny fan game created by other people, but Namco liked it so much, they ended up making it official, AND canon.
FAN GAMES IN 1980?!
@@TH-camr-xi6qo It was a bootleg edit of Pacman to be more exact, they lied to Namco that they won a lawsuit about one of their previous edit of a game and worried the same could happen to Pac-Man, Namco ended with a agreement of oficializing it and sold as a new version of Pac-man
@@pedronerd8116 Not the whole truth. The company who made the hack was releasing conversion kits but was sued by Atari for a Missile Command kit. They thus had to seek permission to release kits from the original manufacturers. When they showed their Pac Man kit called Crazy Otto to midway, they eagerly accepted the opportunity to capitalize on the success of pac man. They then modified the mod further into Ms Pac Man.
@@Framed_Niner Yes, I know, I just didn't tell the whole story complete because I was lazy and wanted to tell in the most simplistic way
actually mid way grew impatient with namco because they were waiting for an official sequel to pac man for too long. mid way, the manufacturers of the pac man arcade cabinet, saw a fan game called crazy otto which was a clone of pac man and liked it alot because it had more content than the original. they rebranded it to ms pac man and put it up on arcades as pac man's official sequel WITHOUT NAMCO KNOWING OR PERMISSION. Namco ended up liking it, so they bought rights to it and made it official.
I'm amazed at the Commodore Vic-20 version. The maze is correct, the gameplay looks good, the bonus fruit looks correct, and it even has onscreen scoring! Whoever programmed that port did a great job. Thanks for the video my friend, good stuff!
It is good but a little slow. "Jelly Monsters" (the japanese Pac Man conversion from HAL) for Vic 20 is even better.
@@AthleticDesign yeah…
NO NO NO NO this version of ms pacman not better the original one which is the arcade one
@@veronicasuggashie4847 I bet you're going to love the arcade because this version of Ms Pac-Man is horrible
@@AthleticDesign it is bad because the ghosts are not made out of jelly
Nothing, and I mean nothing beats the Atari 2600 version. I mean Pacman now faces BOTH WAYS!!! ITS AMAZING!!!!
Me neither
The original pacman on the 2600 only faces one way.
Plus it doesn't make ear-splitting sounds.
Unlike the Apple II version.
@@scorpionatthepc …actually…it faces both ways…left/right…but not 4 ways…up/down/left/right. Also…only ate ghosts one way so would flip to that way when eating ghosts.
The arcade version of Ms Pac-Man is timeless. It's one of the most addicting games ever made (along with the original Pac-Man). It still looks cool today.
The original MsPac-Man game is way better than the Atari version
I’m surprised they never made Ms Pac-Man Championship X
1:31 What the original Pac-Man on the 2600 could've been with a little more work
More time would've been needed. Tod Frye got hardly any time to put his _Pac-Man_ port together.
Atari arcade versions sucked!
@@Tuck_Frump dont judge the oldest console
@@reillywalker195 and also the technical limitations of the atari 2600 wasn't able to support a game like pacman, and the fact the final product was a published prototype just to get it out for the holiday season.
This is definitely a case of quantity over quality.
Also HOW DOES MS. PAC-MAN GET THOSE GOOD PORTS?!
@@isaacarmendariz2538 There exist 4 KB and 8 KB homebrew _Pac-Man_ ports really close to the original game as well as a homebrew based on the _Ms. Pac-Man_ port. The Atari 2600 is more capable than people give it credit for. It just wasn't particularly easy to program with its lack of a frame buffer and interrupt pins.
I remember the Apple II version--I had an Apple II growing up and I enjoyed playing video games on it like some of our UK friends might enjoy their ZX Spectrum games.
@@purplered7694 I took it for what it was for the Apple II, and since the game was a gift from my cousins, I always held it high (I was a kid, what did you expect?) like some of the UK folks hold up their ZX Spectrum and Amiga games.
The sound quality on the Apple version was horrendous!
Yea and the spectrum one not much better
Considering that the Apple II only has a 1-bit beeper, it's actually pretty good. There isn't a whole lot that you can do with it.
the starting music even sounded like a rock version lol
Can we just admire the SNES one? the intro (22:39) was beautiful :3
Ms pac man also sound like pac man
PAC-MAN and Ms. PAC-MAN SNES versions are the best.
Ikr
SO CLEAN 🔥🔥🔥
25:41 was also pretty solid
Grew up with the Jakks Pacific version.:)
I love that one along with the arcade version, however my jakks pacific one's controls are wearing out. The only good game I can play on that one is pole position.
You liked Pac-Man too?
@@DrAngelMachine Rip, I feel your pain.
@@veronicasuggashie4847 Yus.
I just wanna say I appreciate including the CGA composite selection for the DOS port.
This is what we were expecting with Pac-Man for the 2600. A game that looked, sounded, and played like the arcade game. Ms. Pac-Man for the 2600 looks great! Only thing missing is onscreen scoring and some cut-scenes.
Fantastic videos providing the comparisons. Thanks very much.
(36:38) Arcade style.
14:04 tengen's version was so close. Bandai's work seemed foolish even with more powerful consoles.
What a good port
I WISH I MAKE THE ELECTRIX SYSTEM 1 VERSION OF THIS GAME....
Ms Pac-Man was the first video game I played. Or the first video game I THOUGHT I played because I wasn’t really aware of the concept of inserting coins and demo modes on arcade machines when I was like 5 or 6.
5:26 Apple II audio sounds it belongs in a horror film
I find the Ms. Pacman Ready Song adorable
I consider the Atari 2600 port of Ms. Pac-Man to be one of the most competent games on the system. It is a major improvement over Pac-Man in every conceivable way and it's amazing how well it pushes the limits of the system.
No the original one is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@lizbooth8377 I think you don't understand what I meant in my comment. I was referring to A2600 MPM in relation to other A2600 games, especially A2600 Pac-Man. Most Atari 2600 games are very basic and don't have good competence compared to other games of the time, but MPM is way better than most games on the Atari 2600 as a whole, especially compared to the original Pac-Man on the same console.
Wow. It took like 20 plus years to get a version that got real close to the arcade
Tengen did it in 9 on the NES tbf
Yoshiko Tsushima, You Watanabe, and Kanon Shibuya all love the SNES, Arcade, and the PS1 versions of MS. PACMAN. Ai Miyashita also.
Wakiko Samoorye, Futanabi Fukuyu, Asshati Shiitaki, and Pen Island also will have fun with it.
Now, I want to see a comparison video of pole position (and pole position ii also)
Hi
Those Apple II sound effects are abrasive
I always liked what they did with the concept on the game cube with the multiplayer.
5:09 Oh look, it's Zombie Ms. Pac-Man.
AKA Ms. Tax-Man.😂
He’s not shes ms pacman I hate you antonio
@@mr.pixels1782 I am joking. You don't get it.
What did you say
The apple 2 only has 6 colours yellow isit one of em so it makes sense
Ms.Pacman will always be the superior pacman game in my opinion. It's a shame Namco refuses to port it to modern consoles. Great comparison video btw 👌 love these vids. Gives me a look into how technology has advanced over the ages.
Same thing goes with pole position and pole position 2.
From what I understand, there's some legal issues tying it up due to the complicated history behind the game's release (it was originally solely produced by Namco's US distributor Midway, who bought the code from the folks who made Crazy Otto, and only became authorized by Namco after the fact)
Ms. Pac Man was neither created nor authorized by Namco, so they like to pretend the Midway-created Pac Man titles don't exist.
@@sassydog5399 I know that. However, I’m saying that pole position (and pole position 2) also did not get ported to modern consoles.
@@powpuck5031 Oh.
Just so you know, the arcade version was released on February 3, 1982.
Oh dang, almost 40 years old
Makes sense though, considering Pac Man just had his 40th anniversary
40yr old Aquarius
Ain’t no one gonna talk about the Atari Lynx? THE INTRO WAS AWESOME!
the NES version from Tengen looks, sounds, and plays good!
Anyone who bought all of them wasted their money when you can buy the arcade machine instead in 1981 there were slot of Ms Pac-Man games that didn’t release on consoles like Ms pac attack and Pac-Man plus that were in the arcades then removed cause they were hard to play no one was playing them you can always install mame 32 on your PC and play all of them for no cost their really fun there was more then just one and Pac-Man galaga Pac-Man dig dug that are secret to who don’t own these games who never played on mame 32 wasn’t born before 1980
Awesome videos. Surprised you haven’t done any of the Atari IP’s yet like Asteroids. (Unless I’m just not seeing them in your feed)
I enjoy collecting original Pac-Man more, but this is absolutely the better game.
I love how the snes version is just a recolor of the normal one

I Like Arcade, NES (1990), NES (1993), SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, GameCube (Namco Museum) And TV Games Version.
Arcade version my favorite.
Yes
It's one of Batgirl's favorite games.
The original arcade version
1981 forever
40 years ago
Sony Pictures Television ‘s dots we’re huge.
Sony Ksperia!? 8:36
I always liked the Pac-Booster version of Ms. Pac-Man for the Super Nintendo, NES and Sega Genesis.
Atari 2600 version is the best said no one.
16:54 favorite version. sega nailed it!
No Sega not nailed the original MsPac-Man is better
Arcade Original is the Best.
My Suggestion: Uninvited (MacVenture) Versions Comparison
The Master System version was the the only one I played as a kid.
Sweet comparison/contrast video! I own physical copies of the Atari VCS/2600, and Atari 7800 Ms. Pac-Man ports. They're both nicely done. Will be including a recommendation, and a link to your video on my channel's review video of the Atari 7800 Ms. Pac-Man port Wednesday.
I can see why Apple discontinued making gaming systems.
Those weren't game consoles but personal computers meant for office and educational work.
@@reillywalker195 I stand corrected. Thank you. It was the Apple Pippin that I was thinking about.
Because the MAC was a downgrade of Apple II but nobody want Say the truth against Jobs!
Fun fact: Atari 2600 Ms. PacMan was better worked than 2600 OG Pacman
Niiice montage again! Kudos!
5:09: Ms. Pac Man on Drugs
Those are some Godawful but catchy sound effects
The Thing Which I Just Realized Atarti 5200 is the same as Atari family 8 bit Or You Just Like Added A Same File.
Yep the 5200 is just a console version of the Atari 8-bit computers.
@@Ms_Drake More or less, but not exactly. The XEGS was exactly that, on the other hand.
The standalone Super NES version of this game is awesome with its available maze variations and co-op mode. That said, this game is solid all around without a single truly bad version to be found. It's a perfect follow-up to the original game that builds on the formula without straying too far.
SNES is in 26:05
I mean 26:04
Oh I meant 26:02
I like the Atari 7800 version
I gotta say, the ports here are a lot better than the ones of the original
50:50 Energizer, ear rape
I like this intro ! It is very cool !
what model intro?
You can ask for clones
Apple 2 version sounds... interesting. I thought it's going to be called Ms. Tax-Man.
Nah it sounds like something out of a nightmare.
Expected AVGN reference.
Apple II version was the best one! 👍👍👍👍
This was my request
Mis favoritas son la de Máster System, Mega Drive y Super Nintendo, más que otra cosa porque se podían jugar a dobles y tenían varias configuraciones, digamos que son las versiones más completas
20:17 the one i own
Ms. Pac-Man on Atari 2600 was at least better than Pac-Man for Atari 2600
The arcade version shown here is much slower than I remember. I remember this chick moving faster than light
me too
It’s probably a setting to make Ms Pac-Man faster in the arcade machine it’s self
@@vipex2005 A Speed-Up chip probably
That's how I first played the game. I've never liked it since I played the original, makes it way too easy.
Arcade es el original y el mejor
I like the game boy advance
I have that version
La mejor versión es la de Master System que luego se porteó a SNES y Genesis.
I love the games of MS-PACMAN thank yuo
The versions I have:
Atari 2600
Sega Genesis
A desktop Arcade machine
Mini Arcade machine
I like how the SMS version just says “HI!” at the top.
One little curiosity; the SNES port is identical to the Genesis port by Tengen, five years late and not published by them.
I wonder how Williams ended up with Tengen's code. The SNES version doesn't credit a developer.
Someone is actually able to win every single one of the this time the game on Everything single device
awesome
AWESOME
Thanks for that day rer
If you can't do an arcade perfect Ms. Pac Man on a PlayStation, then you need to go back to programming school.
BUT WHAT DID THEY DID TO THE GHOSTS IN THE MASTER SYSTEM VERSION !?/ ¿¡PERO QUE LES HICIERON A LOS FANTASMAS EN LA VERSION DE MASTER SYSTEM!?
Behind every great Pac Man is a great Ms Pac Man
Wouldn't the Tengen NES and SNES versions be considered unofficial, as they weren't Licensed by Nintendo?
Yes, the SNES version says "Licensed by Nintendo", but supposedly it wasn't authorized for sale or unreleased.
The SNES version was officially licensed by Nintendo and released. The NES version may not have been licensed by Nintendo, but it was officially licensed by Namco and Bally Midway.
for your information, I know where to get Namco history vol. 3, however it may have to be installed on a japanese Windows VM.
Thanks @rolingthunder86 I have it too but didn't figure how to load in a Windows 98 VM... Now I know!
In case you don't know, you can use VirtualBox to load VMs.

APPLE II’S SCARED GHOST SFX MADE ME LAUGH 😂😂😂😂😂
Cool. I love it.
pac man world is like sonic jam for ps2
Was it Namco that made this game?
You missed a few Windows versions much newer than the 1998 one you showed. Odd that the windows one was the only one that seemed to be a true 1 to 1 with the arcade original.
This game is inspired by pac man
No shit.
Actually it was based off of Crazy Otto which was a hack of pacman.
I never knew Ms.Pac-Man was based off of Pac-Man.
I love this game. 👍

Yes. MAME and MESS are emulators that emulate consoles and computers like you said.
