technically not a different game.. equivalent to an "expansion." the original ms. pac-man was a modification kit that was added onto the original pac-man (originally known as Crazy Otto and made by fans from General Computer), with the cabinet designs being replaced to make it feel new
I think that is pushing a modern standard onto an old game when it wouldn't have been seen that way at the time. A lot of arcade games were minorly different from one another, direct ripoffs, or only had minor upgrades from the original like in this case.
I think the small differences this one has on paper from the original don't seem like much, but they amount to a very different experience as the game progresses.
I implore you all to go with a friend to an arcade and play this in multiplayer, switching off on each death. One of the most fun gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Arcades <3
