Pac-Man is an arcade game released for the Nintendo NES in 1984. The main objective is to navigate the maze, eating all the dots while avoiding four colorful ghosts. Players aim to clear each level by consuming every pellet, which advances the game to increasingly challenging stages.
The game's pace is steady but tense, as players must balance quick movements with strategic planning to evade enemies. A unique mechanic is the power pellet, which temporarily turns ghosts vulnerable, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for extra points. This mechanic adds a dynamic layer of risk and reward, requiring timing and situational awareness.
Pac-Man’s distinctive design features a simple maze layout with memorable characters, emphasizing pattern recognition and spatial navigation. The unusual idea of pursuing both survival and point accumulation in a single playthrough helped establish this game as a foundational title in arcade history.
