Ghosts? Pac-Dots? Power Pellets? This may sound like objects found in something from the mind of Tim Schaeffer, but were talking old school here. Although classic gamers may not have known they were eating Pac-Dots, they probably did their fair share of the activity in 1981. With just a few changes of their hit Pac-Man, Namco created a new legion of fans (and potentially the first wave of Frag Dolls) with Ms. Pac-Man. Its amazing what a bow and some lipstick can do. Or maybe its the mole/dimple that caught everyones attention? Any way you slice it, Ms. Pac-Man was every bit of Mr. Pac-Mans equal, and much more to certain classic gamers and game historians.
