A while back I had Pac-Man fever and wanted to play a bunch of Pac games... including this one (N64 version). This game is very, very... okay. In Maze Madness you play as Ms. Pac-Man, and it's just walking around through the mazes to collect dots and fruits. The clicking of her heels on the floor is super-loud for some reason, always made me think of a galloping horse.
At first I thought the game was all right, just as a "simple diversion to kill some time" sort of game. But the further I got in the game, the harder it became to want to keep going. At some point I, as Ms. Pac-Man, had a mid-life existential crisis and wondered just what am I doing going after dot after dot after dot. Are we not all trapped in a maze of our own device? We tell ourselves we'll go somewhere new one day... once we have earned enough stars. Will that day ever actually come though? It didn't for me, I can tell you that much.
