When I was a kid, it would have been impossible to come out with a replica even close to the arcade game in appearance. Like I commented on the Galaga video, the replicas that came out when the arcade games were new just had fixed LED's and crude sound, because only in the 21st Century you could have hi-res graphics and accurate sound in a tiny replica arcade game.

Very interesting! Glad my family have the 1up Arcade version instead of those two. One of my sisters bought the 3/4 scale arcade cabinet, and it plays almost, if not completely, like a straight forward copy of the original arcade game. Of course, the 1up arcade cabinet is expensive though, yet worth it.

I had said the Arcade Classics Ms. Pacman was hard to play, but a few minutes ago I made it to the "Chase Scene" after the fifth level! The Chase scene looks exactly like the real arcade game. Also the fruit on the 6th level is the pear and the game play just like the real arcade game is easier than the 4th and 5th levels. The Arcade Classics is very addicting. I played it for hours and not signs of weardown yet. The game is still hard to play.... Happy night!

Get this Jon, just a few mins ago I played the My Arcade version and get to the stage that repeats the bananas. Unlike the Arcade version which repeats the Stork Intermission scene after completing a few levels of Bananas, the My Arcade/NES version repeats the Chase scene instead. I did this with only 1 life left. I am not sure if the Chase is the sole repeater or if the 1st or 3rd intermissions repeat as well.

I find it fascinating that in the 21st Century, you can have a handheld game that is a true replica that looks like an arcade cabinet and has high-resolution graphics. I played a handheld pac-man game at a friend's house in 1982, and back then the maze was etched into the screen, and the pac-man, dots, and ghosts, were just LED's. There is even a Dragon's Lair replica, which could never be done in the 80s because you couldn't store full-motion video on tiny solid state memory chips and have a computer display it directly. You could only do it with a big laser disc player and huge circuit board with a box-shaped monitor, and that could only fit in a full-sized arcade cabinet.

It might be more expensive ($129.99 via Geek Store,) but compared to these two, the Numskull Quarter Arcade Ms. Pac-Man is much better. Cabinet is all wood, control feels quite good even for a mini cabinet, it is the legit arcade ROM, and the cabinet is just a lot nicer to look at.

Actually both games look pretty good. Sure it can't compare to the arcade. But common it's 25.00-40.00. You can take it in a gym bag and toss it around.

Fun fact, there are two versions of the NES port of Ms. Pac-Man: one is released by Tengen in 1990 and followed the arcade version very closely. The version released by Namco in 1993 is almost the same, but with multi-colored mazes. The version that you're reviewing is the NES port by Namco released in 1993. Also, the Tengen version released in 1990 should be a MUCH better fit.

It's a shame that the Basic Fun version of the game plays terribly, because I prefer the actual external design better. It looks a exactly like this Ms Pacman cabinet at this pizza/subs place we all hung around when I was 10. :-)

Here's the break down: My arcade's has better design..the control doesn't appear to be cramped and cheap. However, it uses nes rom which I think it's inferior to the arcade's classic.

See ur problem is your comparing this to the arcade versions instead of just enjoying this for what it is. I have both and the arcade classics is slow but controls is responsive on mine but once you get to level 2 it’s faster. My arcade is lot better

Thanks for watching, wolverine claws. That's not a problem, it's the nature of the review. If a product has "Ms Pac-Man" and "arcade" in the title, it should be held to the standard of the product it purports to represent.
