Pacman is a classic arcade game where players control a yellow, circular character that moves through a maze. The goal is to eat all the dots while avoiding colorful ghosts that chase after Pacman. Eating larger dots, called power pellets, allows Pacman to temporarily turn the tables and eat the ghosts for extra points. As players navigate the maze, they must strategize to collect all the dots while avoiding getting caught. The game features increasing levels of difficulty, with faster ghosts and more complex mazes. Pacman has become an iconic symbol of video gaming, inspiring numerous sequels and merchandise over the years.
