Four arcade classics get an HD makeover on PC and game consoles
Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug and Galaga. Four staples of 1980s arcades, freshly rescued from the Bandai Namco vaults and dressed up in high definition graphics.
All four games are coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Apr. 20. Ms. Pac-Man will be sold as a standalone, but the others will be available either individually or as part of a three-in-one package.

It's not clear why Ms. Pac-Man is left out, though we'd guess it relates to the game's tricky origins. Of course, this could also just be another example of the industry's sexist tendencies informing business decisions.
All four of the games feature updated HD graphics and online leaderboards, so you can compare your high scores against those set by your friends.
Each game will cost $3.99 individually, and the three-for-one deal will be sold at $7.99.
