Ms. Pac-Man (Arcade – 1982)

Developed by General Computer Corporation (GCC) and Midway, designed by Steve Golson, Ms. Pac-Man was the first entry to not be made by Namco. The game improved over Pac-Man in every way and was one of the first titles to ever feature a female protagonist. The original Pac-Man had an enormous amount of female players in its demographic, and the developers said the name was a thank you for making the original game so successful.
