Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness
0 plays 2000 #Puzzle
Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness is a 2000 maze video game developed and published by Namco Hometek for the PlayStation. It was later released for the Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Advance. A remake of General Computer Corporation's Ms. Pac-Man (1982), players control the titular character in her quest to stop a witch named Mesmerelda from stealing the Gems of Virtue. The game was well-received upon release, with critics applauding its simplicity and faithfulness to the arcade original. A sequel was in development around 2006 but was cancelled for unknown reasons. The player must navigate a series of mazes, encountering obstacles such as moving blocks, exploding boxes, and locked doors.
