This week has been all about old school video games. I bought this arcade controller that plugs straight into your tv and has games such as Galaga, Ms Pac Man, and my new addiction Xevious.
We got talking, and the ever so popular question came up; What is the difference between Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man?
So I googled it:
Pac-Man is very basic and has the same maze for all the levels. The ghosts also follow a set pattern which means if you can memorise the patterns, it is easy to get a high score. Also the fruit bonus always appear in the same place.
Ms PacMan has four different mazes. Ms Pacman moves around the maze faster than Pacman. The ghosts do not follow patterns making the game much harder. Fruit bonuses pop out of the warp tunnels and bounce around the maze. Ms Pacman has a lipstick and a bow.
Well there you have it folks.
