Pac-Man was still big on home console and computer, but Ms. Pac-Man took the top prize in the arcade. The online version that I played above was from here: https://www.mspacman1.com/
It's simply a great sequel with nothing but good quality upgrades: the variations in maps and warp tunnels, the travelling bonus foods, and even the little in-game vignettes that show the Pac-Mens defeating the ghosts and conquering all with their love is a nice touch.
In doing a little reading I found that indeed they did once consider calling it Pac-Woman, but veered towards Mrs. Pac-Man before settling on "Ms." because it rolled off the tongue better.
