Well after having played some more, I'm now fairly convinced that the problem, in a nutshell, lies with me! I play MAME on a projection screen at 110" and I think that has an effect on the way I perceive the motion of Ms Pac-man. Going from the standard cab with a 27"(?) monitor to a large 110" 16:9 screen gives me the illusion that the larger than life yellow gobbler is moving faster due to playing on an unusually colossal display.
The other thing I thing contributes to this issue is the way the game is played. When using an 8-way fighting game arcade stick, Ms Pac is a bit difficult to control and when you find yourself getting stuck in corners and not able to move her around the way you can in the cabinet, you automatically attribute this to the speed of the game, when in fact it's the joystick itself. I would like to get myself an actual 4-way joystick that replicates the original Ms Pac-man arcade one as closely as possible. What are some good ones out there?
