Come-Cocos (Ms. Pac-Man) ('Made in Greece' Tecnausa bootleg) [Bootleg]
Come-Cocos (Ms. Pac-Man) ('Made in Greece' Tecnausa bootleg) [Bootleg] Overview
Come-Cocos is an unlicensed bootleg of Ms. Pac-Man, produced for arcade cabinets in Greece by the distributor Tecnausa. It was never officially released by Namco or Midway, but instead belongs to the thriving underground market of early 80s unauthorized reproductions. This particular version is sometimes labeled 'Made in Greece' and is a direct ripoff of Ms. Pac-Man's maze-chase formula, complete with the same dots, ghosts, and fruit bonuses.
You control a small yellow character (the titular 'Come-Cocos' - essentially a renamed Pac-Man figure) through a single-screen maze. The goal is to eat every dot while avoiding four colored ghosts; power pellets let you turn the tables and eat ghosts for bonus points. Fruit items appear periodically and add to your score. The gameplay is identical to Ms. Pac-Man, with the same grid layout and ghost AI patterns, though slight graphical alterations may appear in some bootleg runs.
For fans of arcade history, Come-Cocos offers a glimpse into the widespread cloning of golden-age titles. It lacks the polish of the original but still delivers the same addictive loop. If you've played all the official Pac-Man iterations, this Greek bootleg is a curious artifact worth a few quick rounds - just don't expect any new mechanics or official support.
How to Play Come-Cocos (Ms. Pac-Man) ('Made in Greece' Tecnausa bootleg) [Bootleg] Online
Getting Started
Press the Start button (Enter) to begin a game. You control Come-Cocos (basically Ms. Pac-Man) with the arrow keys to move up, down, left, and right through the maze. Your immediate objective is to eat all the white dots scattered across the screen. Watch out for the four ghosts: they start from the center box and chase you. If a ghost touches you, you lose a life.
Power pellets (larger flashing dots) are located near the corners of the maze. Eating one turns the ghosts blue and edible for a short time. Chase them down for extra points. After the effect wears off, the ghosts return to their normal colors and resume chasing. Fruit items appear near the center; collect them for bonus points. There is no ending - the game continues until you lose all lives, then you can insert another credit and try for a higher score.
Since this is a bootleg, the title screen and in-game text may be in English or Greek, but the gameplay is identical to Ms. Pac-Man. No special menus or language barriers exist - just start and play.
