About PacMan

In 1980, Namco developed a game called "Puck-man" named by the motion that describes an opening and closing mouth while eating. His developer said that the Pac-Man was born one day in a restaurant. When he cut off one slice of the pizza and look at the rest of it he got an idea for the game. Pacman's life started first in Japan and it become so popular video games that it causes even a coin shortage there. "Puck-man" was renamed into Pac-Man and licensed and distributed in the U.S. by Midway. The small, round, and yellow character soon become an idol not only in Japan and the U.S. but all over the world and still is today. PacMan family started to grow, the companies developed a lot of games popular today as Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Jr. Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, Pac-Man Plus, Baby Pac-Man, and many more.

Description

The point of the game is to guide the hungry yellow ball through the maze and eat the dots. There are 240 points at each level, and when you eat them all, you will move on to the next stage. When eating, you need to be careful and beware of ghosts. They will do anything to catch you and destroy you. If a ghost touches you, one life will be lost and the game is over when all your lives are gone. In addition, there are escape tunnels on the left and right so you can escape the ghosts in them. When the ghost enters the tunnel, it is very slow, so you have time to run! These four "monsters" or ghosts have names and personalities. The developer made them different and with different hunting skills, so the game turned out to be more interesting and unpredictable. Four ghosts:

Blinky: Blinky, the red one who is a chaser and follow PacMan all the time, and his speed increases after a certain number of eaten dots but only in the higher levels.
Pinky: Pinky the pink one who is ambusher and trying to reach a position in front of PacMan.
Inky: Inky, the cyan one who is flicky all the time and very dangerous.
Clyde: Clyde, the orange one who isn`t very smart and just running through the maze.
There are four bigger dots in the corners on every stage called power pills or "energizers". When you eat one of them Pacman becomes temporarily invincible, the ghosts change their color into dark blue, become slower and disoriented. You may then hunt those nasty runners and eat them for some extra points. When you swallow one of the ghosts, his eye returns to the " ghost pen", the cage in the middle, where it is back to normal. But, as you get deeper in the game the power pills won`t last as long as the first couple of stages. So be careful, from a hunter you can become prey.
