List of Pac-Man sequels

This is a list of Pac-Man sequels. Of these, the most significant title was the popular "Ms. Pac-Man". Originally called Crazy Otto, this unauthorized hack of Pac-Man was created by General Computer Corporation and sold to Bally Midway without Namco's permission. "Crazy Otto" was actually seen in a photograph in "Time" magazine, mislabeled as the original "Pac-Man".cite news | author = Skow, John | date = 1982-01-18 | title = Games That Play People: Those beeping video invaders are dazzling, fun-and even addictive | publisher = Time ] The game featured several improvements and changes from the original "Pac-Man", including faster gameplay, more mazes, new intermissions, and moving bonus items. Some consider "Ms. Pac-Man" to be a superior game to the original, and even the best in the entire series. Eventually Bally Midway struck a deal with Namco to make "Ms. Pac-Man" an officially licensed sequel, although the American company continued to release several unauthorized spin-off games later on, such as "Pac-Man Plus" and "Baby Pac-Man". These other titles were generally considered inferior and unimportant, serving to oversaturate the market for "Pac-Man" games.
