The cocktail-table version of "Ms. Pac Man" has long been a "dream purchase" of mine -- something that, if I ever had the money to buy, would proudly be made the centerpiece of my future living room or "man cave." Well, that day finally came, and as I write this review I'm staring at a gorgeous, wood-paneled Mecca of classic-'80s videogaming sitting across from my computer desk.
It is truly a thing to behold. I remember playing hours upon hours of "Ms. Pac Man" in the arcade of an ancient bowling alley in my hometown, and hitting the "Start" button on this baby and playing a quick round brings back waves of nostalgia.
It is a faithful port of the game, too -- something a lot of the home-console modern "anniversary" upright versions found in newer arcades sadly failed to replicate. This is fast 'n furious "Ms. Pac Man" as it was meant to be played: with jangled nerves while trying to outrun quick, smart and ruthless ghosts.
The inclusion of "Galaga" is nice, but I never played that game much (and am still terrible at it). But as the title of this review says, just having a faithful port of my favorite videogame, in all its cocktail-table glory, in my friggin' house, is worthy of five stars.
