I wouldnt say the game itself was a disaster, but it just couldn't possibly match the arcade experience and it was REALLY hyped up. Imagine the same type of hyper Duke Nukem Forever had. It wasn't really a terrible game but people hated it due to how much hype there was surrounding it. Its that hype that caused the port to become such a huge flop.

As for mrs pacman, do you mean the atari or the arcade version? if Arcade people still loved the Arcade pacman so the other was naturally a hit, if the console then I personally forgot but I think it was improved an by that point people hadn't put as much hype into it.

But nether the less welldone but knowing that Pacman was also a flop as many people seem to think ET was the only game that made the crash happen. When in actuality pacman was arguably worse for it.
