You control Ms. Pac-Man through each maze with the joystick. You must eat every dot and energizer to advance to the next stage. You must avoid contact with the ghosts while they are their normal color.
 
If you eat an energizer, the ghosts will turn blue, and you may eat them for bonus points until they turn back to their normal color. Ghosts travel at half speed through the side escape tunnels.  Use them to get away. A fruit or pretzel will appear from one of the escape tunnels twice per stage and bounce around the ghost pen. Eat the fruit or pretzel for bonus points.  They will leave the maze if uneaten.
