Pac-Man is a classic arcade game that was first released in 1980. Players control Pac-Man, a yellow, circular character, as he navigates through a maze, eating pellets and avoiding ghosts. The objective is to consume all the pellets while scoring points and advancing through levels. The game features iconic characters, including Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, who chase Pac-Man throughout the maze. Power pellets allow Pac-Man to temporarily turn the tables on the ghosts, enabling him to eat them for extra points. Pac-Man has become a cultural icon, influencing countless games and media since its debut.
