The lights are on
You may not know this, but Ms. Pac-Man was once a dude. She also used to eat monsters instead of ghosts and run around on giant legs. When MIT students Doug Macrae and Kevin Curran first started working on the game that would become Ms. Pac-Man it was just and enhancement kit for the original Pac-Man cabinet called Crazy Otto. Macrae and Curran eventually sold their creation to Pac-Man’s North American distributor Midway, at which point the game was changed to Ms. Pac-Man. Read issue 201 of Game Informer if you want the full story, but check out these videos for a glimpse of Ms. Pac-Man’s early days.

Thank god for Midway changing it.

Otto probably would have been just as awesome.
Hahaha... somehow Plato, Darwin, Newton, and Freud seem like they'd be more fun to chase down that Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde...

Not bad for a couple of MIT students.
Wow, finally I get to see what Crazy Otto actually looked like.
