What is PacMan?

PacMan is an iconic arcade game developed by Namco and first released in 1980. Designed by Toru Iwatani, the game has become one of the most recognizable and enduring titles in gaming history. Pac-Man features a distinctive yellow, circular character named Pac-Man, who navigates through a maze while eating pellets and avoiding ghosts. The game's simple yet addictive gameplay, combined with its innovative design, helped establish it as a classic in the arcade genre.

The objective of Pac-Man is to guide Pac-Man through a maze, eating all the pellets while avoiding being caught by the four colorful ghosts that patrol the maze. The game’s appeal lies in its engaging mechanics, strategic elements, and the challenge of mastering the maze while managing to outwit the ghosts.

How to Play

• Movement: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard or a joystick on arcade machines to move Pac-Man up, down, left, or right through the maze. The goal is to navigate Pac-Man through the maze without getting caught by the ghosts.
• Avoiding Ghosts: The ghosts will follow specific patterns, but they become more aggressive as the game progresses. Strategic movement is key to avoiding them and staying alive.
