Come-Cocos

Come-Cocos is an unlicensed bootleg of Ms. Pac-Man that was produced in Greece by Herle SA for arcade cabinets. It appeared sometime in the mid-to-late 1980s, a period when unauthorized clones and hardware pirate boards were common in certain regions. This is not an official release from Namco or Midway; it is a direct copy with the artwork and title changed to avoid detection, though the core game remains the same. The player controls a yellow circle with a bow, navigating a series of mazes while eating all the dots to clear a stage. Four colored ghosts patrol the maze and will kill the player on contact unless a power pellet is eaten first, which turns the ghosts blue and lets the player eat them for bonus points. The game also includes bonus fruits that appear periodically. The layout, ghost AI, and scoring are identical to the original Ms. Pac-Man, though the bootleg may have slight graphical or timing differences. For collectors and historians of arcade bootlegs, Come-Cocos is a fascinating piece of gaming piracy from Greece. It does not offer any new content or improved mechanics; it is simply Ms. Pac-Man under a different name. If you have already played the original there is no new gameplay here, but it is worth a quick look to see how Herle SA adapted the arcade board and what subtle changes they made to the title screen and graphics.
