Ms. Pac-Man ?-??-84

 

This is a very odd prototype of Ms. Pac-Man.  As the name on the label indicates this is a hack of the released version of the game which changes some of the colors.  It is unknown why this hack was made, but it may have been to test out some possible different color schemes.  This prototype came from the collection of a former GCC programmer.

 

Prototype Differences
The Ms. Pac-Man logo has a red outline instead of pink
The lights around the logo flash red instead of pink
Ms. Pac-Man's bow is red instead of pink.  This applies to the reserve lives and to the cutscenes as well.
Blinky is his proper red color instead of pink
All the fruits are a shade darker
The orange is dark red instead of... well orange.  This is most likely a mistake.
The first maze has red walls instead of pink.  The dots are more of a teal color than the final
The second maze has slightly lighter blue walls and lighter yellow dots
The third maze has darker tan walls with yellow outlines instead of peach.  The dots are also red instead of pink
The fourth maze has gold outlines instead of yellow
