She'sready to bring you many delightful hours of fun and excitement. So,sit back, relax and have a good time playing MS. PAC-MAN. 2. GAME PLAYThe object of the game is to score as many points as you can whileMS. PAC-MAN eats dots, fruit, pretzels, energy pills, and ghosts. Score10,000 points and earn a bonus MS. PAC-MAN life.The game starts with three MS. PAC-MAN lives, which are indicated by threeMS. PAC-MAN symbols at the lower left corner of the screen. When game playbegins, MS. PAC-MAN is located close to the center of the screen, justbelow the ghosts' reincarnation chamber in the center of the maze(see Figure 1).Use your Joystick controller to guide MS. PAC-MAN around the maze. Whenshe passes over dots, she gobbles them up, and you score points. If sheeats all the dots on the screen, the maze flashes momentarily, and youstart playing on a new maze.Figure 1 {picture of the game screen}MS. PAC-MAN encounters floating fruit and pretzels while traveling aroundthe maze. Gobble up these munchies, and you score bonus points. But watchout! Fearful ghosts scurry about trying to gobble up MS. PAC-MAN. Her onlyrecourse is to eat an energy pill and then go after the ghosts.As soon as she gulps down the energy pill, the ghosts turn blue with fright.You earn 200 points for the first ghost, 400 points for the second ghost,800 for the third ghost, and a whopping 1600 points for the fourth ghost,all on the same energy pill. (See Section 6, SCORING, for details aboutpoint values.)Unfortunately, the effects of the energy pills are short-lived, so you'llhave to move fast. After the ghosts are gobbled up, their eyes head backto the chamber in the center of the screen for reincarnation. If you don'tgobble up the ghosts, they start to blink just before they turn back totheir original colors. 3. USING THE CONTROLLERUse one Joystick Controller with the ATARI Game Program cartridge.
