Synopsis

One of the most popular and influential games of the 1980s, Pac-Man stars a little yellow dot-muncher who works his way to clear a maze of the various dots and fruits that populate the board.

Pac-Man's goal is constantly challenged by four ghosts: the shy blue ghost Bashful ("Inky"), the trailing red ghost Shadow ("Blinky"), the speedy pink ghost Speedy ("Pinky"), and the forgetful orange ghost Pokey ("Clyde"). A touch from one of these ghosts means the loss of a life for Pac-Man.

Pac-Man can turn the tide on his pursuers by eating one of the four Power-Pills located around the maze. Meanwhile, the ghosts turn blue and Pac-Man can eat them for bonus points. This only lasts for a limited time, as the ghosts' eyes return to their central box and regenerate to pursue Pac-Man again.
