GAME PLAY
---------
Ms PAC-MAN scores points by eating the dots in the maze whilst avoiding
the ghosts. Flashing Power Pills are located in each corner of the
screen. Eating a Power Pill will turn the ghosts blue with fright for a
few seconds, during which time Ms PAC-MAN may chomp the ghosts to score
more points for each ghost she catches. They will blink before they
turn back to their true colours and then Ms PAC-MAN had better beware!

When Ms PAC-MAN has eaten all the dots, she reappears in a new maze
where the ghosts move faster. In each successive maze, it becomes
harder for Ms PAC-MAN to eat all the dots without being caught.

Ms PAC-MAN can travel from one side of the screen to the other by using
the Escape tunnels. The pursuing ghosts are slowed down through these
tunnels so make good use of them...

At the begining of the game Ms PAC-MAN has five lives. She is rewarded
with an extra life when she reaches 10,000 points. Extra points can be
earned by eating the bonus fruits which appear from time to time.

If Ms PAC-MAN is caught by a ghost then she loses one of her five
lives.

To hold the game press the H key. To resume game play press the H key
again.
