4. INTRODUCTION

MS PACMAN/GALAGA is an exciting new game developed by Namco America Inc. It
contains two of the wildly popular games in game world history, Ms Pac-Man and Galaga.

A more challenging version of the well-known Pac-Man maze game, Ms Pac-Man is sure to be
the most popular girl in the game world. Pursued by the familiar Inky, Blinky, Pinky and the
newest ghost, Sue, Ms. Pac-Man goes through 4 changing mazes that increase in difficulty and
offer varying side exit locations. Each of the 4 mazes has an additional 2 side exits that give Ms.
Pac-Man a total of 4 ways out of the maze.

Bonus fruit symbols indicate how many times a player has cleared the screen of dots. Ms. Pac­Man boasts additional bonus fruit symbols that also float freely through the maze and have
higher point values when gobbled.

Dots score 10 points each with Power Dots serving 50 points each. Points double for each ghost
Ms. Pac-Man munches: 200 points for the first, 400 for the second and 800 and 1600 points
consecutively for the third and fourth ghosts. When Ms. Pac-Man is caught herself, she
dramatically swoons and falls.

Along with a cool sound track, players may witness the touching love story of Ms.
Pac-Man's meeting Pac-Man himself, their courtship and marriage and even the delivery of Pac­Baby in the three act, between-maze cartoon series.

In Galaga, players control the fighter's movements left and right and defend against the missiles
and suicide attacks of the Galaga aliens and the Galaga Commander through infinite levels of
play, with every third level having a challenging stage! Retrieve captured fighters from the
descending Galaga Commander tractor-beam and double your firepower.
