The story of Pac-Man revolves around a yellow circle named Pac-Man who must navigate through a maze filled with ghosts to eat all the pellets and fruit. The twist is that the ghosts are constantly chasing him, making it difficult for him to survive. As Pac-Man moves through the maze, he can also eat power pellets which allow him to turn the tables on the ghosts.
The gameplay of Pac-Man is straightforward but challenging. Players control Pac-Man using a joystick or keyboard, moving him left and right through the maze. The objective is to eat all the pellets and fruit while avoiding being caught by the ghosts. The game requires quick reflexes and strategic thinking to navigate through the maze and avoid getting eaten.
