Pac-Man Videocart-27 is a game where the eponymous Pac-Man goes around a maze in the cardinal directions munching pellets as he goes. The goal is to eat all the pellets found on the maze. While trying to do this, Pac-Man is harassed by four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde) who constantly chase him around the maze. If the ghosts touch Pac-Man, he will lose a life. Pac-Man starts with three lives and if he loses all of them the game will end.
The gameplay involves navigating the maze, avoiding the ghosts, eating pellets and power pellets to gain an advantage. Power pellets turn the tide in Pac-Man's favor, allowing him to temporarily chase the ghosts and send them back to the start of the maze. Additionally, randomly appearing fruit can be eaten for bonus points.
This version of Pac-Man Videocart-27 includes intermissions found in the original game, adding a nostalgic touch to this classic arcade experience.
Pac-Man Videocart-27 was released on January 1970 for the Fairchild Channel F console.
