Lynx

Ms. Pac-Man

A decent adaptation overall, and a good game in its own right. I suspect whether or not you'll buy this depends on how willing you are to have a Pac-Maze-game on the Lynx. If you are interested, the Lynx version will not do you wrong.

Overall, this has become one of my favorite versions of Ms. Pac-Man on any system. I think it is also, by far, one of the better games available for the Lynx. Aside from physical limitations which are attributed to the Lynx handheld itself, Ms. Pac-Man has earned good marks on this platform and deservedly so. If you don't already have a copy, do try to find it on ebay or any other place that may carry Lynx games. This isn't one of the rarest Lynx games out there, but it may not pop up as commonly as some traditionally so-so ones such as Kung Food and Xybots. It's hard to go wrong with a hot video game babe like this one!

Even though it's quite small on screen. Ms PacMan is perfectly formed, and has all the thrills and spills of the original. The lack of variety is a bit of a bugbear, but if you're after a bit of nostalgia, this is well worth looking up. It wont keep you occupied for weeks, but it offers a fun and non-violent challenge which will appeal to anyone.

All in all Ms. Pac Man is the better of the Pac Man's on the Lynx (or any other portable for that matter). If you need your Pac Man fix you can't go wrong with this ... and hey, at least it's better than Pac Land!!

Pac-Man bleibt einfach Pac-Man, daran ändert auch ein Wechsel des Hauptprotagonisten nichts. Folglich werden Fans genau das vorfinden, was sie vorzufinden wünschen und wer schon damals vom Original gelangweilt war, dürfte sich auch hierfür nicht erwärmen. Kann man also haben, muß man aber nicht!

Trotz des relativ simplen Spielprinzips muß man den Atari-Programmierern ein Kompliment machen, denn sie haben das Spiel absolut fehlerfrei umgesetzt. Alte Pac-Man-Strategen werde nicht nur die intelligente Logik der Geister zu schätzen wissen. Keine Frage, daß Ms. Pac-Man den Anforderungen eines "modernen" Spiels nicht mehr gerecht wird, doch alte Pillenhasen wird diese gelungene Version erfreuen - mich inklusive.
