Just started doing this tonight, the screen is fine, but as soon as you move the joystick in any direction, the color darkens, and the screen begins to shrink as if it's powering down...

What can I do?

CHeck the fuse holders. They are notorious for rotting out. If its questionable, replace the fuseholder AND the fuses. If ng, i think id try a capkit next if it hasnt been done in awhile. ALso, the molex connectors in those cabinets tend to corrode, so check each one. If you find some bad ones, get a ms pac connector kit from bob roberts.
 
I'd still check out those fuse holders if I were you. Nearly every Pac, Ms Pac and Galaxian I've had my hands in have had crappy holders.

I replaced them as well as the edge connector a couple months ago...dunno what caused this, hopefully it doesn't come back anytime soon!
