This GBC version of Ms. Pac-Man is basically the arcade classic with a fresh coat of paint—literally. The colors pop way more than the original, and you’ve got two ways to play: the standard maze chase we all know, or some surprisingly fun mini-games that mix things up.

First thing you’ll notice? The ghosts actually look distinct now instead of just being differently colored blobs. The mazes feel tighter on the small screen, but it’s still that same frantic gobble-and-dodge rhythm. The mini-games are simple but weirdly addictive—one’s like a memory puzzle where you match fruit, another has you dodging ghosts in a shrinking maze. Not bad for a handheld port from back in the day.

If you’ve burned through the main game too many times, the extra modes give it some legs. Still holds up better than most GBC titles.
