Gameplay
To play the game, Pac-Man will work his way around all around a certain level maze eating up all of the little yellow dots and fruit, that he possibly can. When all of the dots have been eaten, the level will then be complete. Pac-Man must avoid four ghosts through all of this, who chase him the entire game, their names are Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. If Pac-Man comes into contact with any of these four ghosts he looses his life,When all of his lives have been lost, the game will then end, unless he eats the Energizers found on each of the levels. There are four energizers in total. With the help of the Energizers, Pac-Man can now eat the ghosts, instead of losing any of his lives, but this will only last for a limited amount of time.Arcade History: Pac-Man1 .Arcade History: Pac-Man -
