Now Ms. PAC-MAN of course is much better than PAC-MAN.

This version on Steam-just like PAC-MAN-adds more settings to the game with more lives, stage select, and others.

Ms. PAC-MAN still remains a classic just like its predecassor and is one of the best games EVER!

15/10 better than PAC-MAN!

It's a great port of the arcade classic. With Achievements motivating you to continue on. Plays great on my arcade stick. If you own one, I recommend using it.

Great fun. Just the Xbox 360 controller controlls are a little weird, i reccomend playing with the arrow keys unless you got a real joystick.

Graphically, a very good rendition of the arcade game. Best I've played on PC. Emulation could still use a bit of work. At least for me, it felt like controllers needed a bit of work. I use a wired 360 controller and there seemed to be a bit of lag at times or it wants to go upwards on its own. After playing a few games, it nearly makes it unplayable when it goes up when you want to stay still or go in a different direction. Also frustrating when you try to move and it does nothing. Great deal for a bit of nostalgia. but as far as a functioning game, it needs work.

750 megs for Ms. Pac-man?
Can't get rid of annoying artwork on the sides of the game, and did you see the recomendated specs? 8gb, & 2.7ghz--FOR PAC-MAN, Really?

Did I mention there's no option for the speed-up chip?

Add to that the DRM and this isn't going to stop anyone from playing one of the thousands of online versions.

It's Ms Pac Man. Just throw NAMCO your money and take the game

Awesome!
Just wish there was a proper full screen mode.
Also, I think all of these games should be put into a collection, much like the Namco Museum games.
Other than that, good classic gaming fun, this is a must have.

The sad thing that this review can be applied to the whole "Arcade Game Series" collection since they all have the same pros and cons.

We go retro, don't we?

The other day I was thinking "Okay, we have Atari Vault and that's a great retro collection. I wish other companies would do the same and finally a nice Galaga or Ms. Pac-Man would arrive to the PC.".

Then I come home and what do I see? Bandai Namco just released my favorite games!

Instabuy. Then disappointment.

What I love about the game?

Nice emulation
Solid gameplay
The controls feels good
Achievements
Online leaderboards
Scanlines can be turned on

What makes it a lazy port?

If you go full-screen, the "bezel art" goes behind the playfield, so the sharp corners of the playfield become visible
To go to full screen, you have to press Alt+Enter. No menu option to do that.
Can't turn off "bezel art" (or "background", as this game calls it)
No volume sliders. In a 2016 release.
The only way to quit the games is to press Alt+F4. I'm serious. No menu option. Nothing. If you play in windowed mode, you can just click X, but in full screen? No chance.
Keyboard prompts everywhere. Even if you use the controller, it shows keyboard keys on the screen. You need to use at least 10 different keys to adjust the screen size/position, but you cannot do that with a controller. Even if you can, the game won't tell you how.
You can "zoom in" the screen for the games to utilize your screen space. But if you zoom in, the always visible "press esc to go to the pause menu" prompt covers the bottom right corner of the playfield. WTF? I can't see the dots I'm eating in Pac-Man.
You have to watch the "when this icon shows up don't turn off your computer" screen every time you start the games and you need to press a key for it to go away
Just nitpicking, but why does it appear FULL CAPS in the Steam Library? I have all four games in the collection and it looks horrible.

Summary

Whichever game you choose from Arcade Game Series, you get a great game. You get a lot of fun and great emulation. But the overall quality is not acceptable for a brand new release in 2016.

If you just want a few nice arcade retro games but don't eager to have Pac-Man or Galaga, check out Atari Vault. If you want Pac-Man, well, unfortunately you have no other option. Pac-Man Museum is even worse.

Update - Apr. 26.

To be fair to Namco, they released a patch today which allows us to turn off bezel art. If some of the other things would be fixed too, I'd change my review to "recommended"
