As a tip, DON'T let Ms. Pac-Man eating the power pill early. Firstly, TRY to eat many dots as possible, because Ms. Pac-Man moves fast in the clear sections. FOCUS specially on Blinky (Red Ghost), which is always faster than other ghosts (note that the ghosts have the same behavior, but different speeds in 2600 version). Reserve at least 2 power pills for emergencies, specially on later levels.

On Level 8 and all the subsequent stages (Random Fruits), AVOID eating the ghosts after eating each power pill. When the apple, pear or banana appears at the bottom of the screen, FOCUS CLOSELY on these bonus items. But DON'T BE PANIC if you lose these valuable fruits, because it's better than losing your life. And DON'T WORRY if the less valuable fruits appear (Pretzel, Orange, Strawberry and Cherries).

The ghosts move slowly on the tunnels. After eating each power pill, the monsters always move to the corners. Use this to take your advantage, specially on later levels. The tunnels should be used with caution.

On earlier levels (until Banana Stage), DON'T EAT all the dots before eating all the Power Pills.

AVOID THE FOLLOWING DANGEROUS ZONES WHEN POSSIBLE:
Red Maze: Long path (top of the maze)
Blue Maze: Pathways located at the bottom
Light Gray Maze: Sections at the top center and the bottom center
Green Maze: Section above the ghost pen

After clearing Level 8, the mazes will alternate between Light Gray and Green, and change for every board cleared.

Yeah the 2600 version differs from the arcade in that the "random" fruit is going to show up 2x in the stage i.e. that is THE fruit for that stage. That wasn't the way in the arcade game where you could get a banana and then a cherry on the same stage for example.

So that makes it cool if you get a banana stage as you know that's an extra 10,000 points
