Pac-Man is an action-packed game where you play as a little, yellow dot-muncher who must clear a maze by eating all the dots and fruit. The goal is to outsmart four ghosts: Bashful, Shadow, Speedy, and Pokey.
The gameplay revolves around Pac-Man's movement and interaction with the ghosts. If Pac-Man touches any of the ghosts, he loses a life. However, if he eats one of the Power-Pills located around the maze, the ghosts turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points.
The game requires skill and strategy as Pac-Man must navigate the maze without being caught by the ghosts. The intermissions between rounds feature humorous animations starring Pac-Man and his ghostly friends.
