Pac-Man
Navigate the maze, eat all the dots, and avoid the ghosts in this iconic arcade classic!
About Pac-Man
Pac-Man is one of the most iconic video games ever created, originally released by Namco in 1980. The player navigates a maze, eating dots while avoiding four colorful ghosts. Pac-Man became a worldwide phenomenon and cultural icon, generating billions in revenue and influencing game design for decades. It was the first game to inspire widespread merchandise and a dedicated following.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to guide Pac-Man through the maze. Eat all the small dots to complete the level. Avoid the four ghosts — touching one costs you a life. Eat the large power pellets in the corners to temporarily turn the ghosts blue, allowing you to eat them for bonus points. Each ghost eaten during a single power pellet is worth more points (200, 400, 800, 1600). Clear all dots to advance to the next level!
Tips & Strategies
- •Learn the maze layout — knowing the paths and tunnels gives you escape routes from ghosts.
- •Save power pellets for when ghosts are nearby — don't waste them when ghosts are far away.
- •Use the side tunnels to escape — ghosts move slower through them than Pac-Man does.
- •Each ghost has a different personality — the red one is the most aggressive and directly chases you.
- •Clear the dots in a systematic pattern — don't leave isolated dots that force you into dangerous paths.
