This is the wonderful music for Ms. Pac-Man, which was originally written by Chris Rode. If you haven't checked it out yet, watch this 2016 Game Developers Conference "Classic Game Postmortem: Ms. Pac-Man" talk. Really fascinating, the history of this game. And the composer finally gets some recognition! All these years and I never knew the guy's name.

I had fun arranging these...I've played them for years but never put it into notation until now. I put in a bunch of helpful fingerings. Enjoy!

Sheet music is Greek to me but thanks for the youtube link. Love it and I see other games are covered as well.
 
half way through video. Very interesting thanks for including. I have a piano but can't play it...kind of like most of the games I have.

There are a ton of GDC postmortems, and almost all of the ones I've watched are excellent. Definitely worth checking out, for any of the classics.

And yes, the CC one is amazing, talking about music. We're so lucky to have these developers still alive to explain stuff like that, and be able to record it for future generations.
 
Thanks for the comments, guys. Yeah, the GDC videos are great. They should do one for every classic arcade game!

I thought it was really cool to see the original pencil sketches for some of the mazes in Ms. Pac.

The Crystal Castles one is interesting, for sure. I always thought it was neat how CC had little snippets of great music throughout. I never knew what all the pieces were until the designer talked about it.
