Introduction

This classic arcade game has been around for almost 40 years, so why is it still so popular?

Pacman is an arcade game that was released in 1980 by Namco. It has since become one of the most popular games not just in arcades but also on computers, mobile phones and other devices.

The game is simple: You control Pacman as he eats pellets while avoiding ghosts. Each level gets progressively more difficult as you play, but it’s still easy to pick up and play (even if you aren’t familiar with how to play Pacman). It’s also challenging enough that it won’t get boring quickly; there are plenty of levels with varying designs so you’re never bored playing the same thing over and over again.

Pacman is a great way to pass time when hanging out with friends or family because it makes for an interactive experience where everyone can participate in the action!

When playing, you basically use the arrow keys to move Pac-Man around an enclosed area with four ghosts and dots that you want to collect.

Use the arrow keys to move around.
Spacebar pauses the game, but note that you still have to use the arrow keys to navigate around, not just pause it with spacebar!
Shift eats a power pellet, and control turns you around (or goes back to the start).
Control returns you to any previous screen/level/state of play if you’re stuck or want a little extra help with getting out of a tricky situation–just be warned: once used, this will always switch back no matter what your Pac-Man’s state is at that point in time (i.e., if he’s eaten some dots or ghosts and then gone forward two spaces on his own accord, pressing control will take him back one space).

There are four power pellets which will make the ghosts blue and edible when Pac-Man eats one.

There are four power pellets which will make the ghosts blue and edible when Pac-Man eats one. They are only available in certain areas of the map, but you can find them near the center of the board. There’s usually a group of two or three pellets in each corner that you can eat if you’re looking for more than one at a time.

The more points you get, the faster the game becomes.

The more points you get, the faster the game becomes. The more dots you collect and eat at once, the faster your Pacman will be able to move about and get to pellets faster. The more pellets you eat at once, the faster Pacman can move around in his maze. This means that if you are able to collect a lot of dots (which come from eating cakes) and eat most of those cakes before they disappear off screen, it’s likely that you’ll be able to get lots of points out of them too.

The goal is to try and avoid being caught by the ghosts while trying to collect all of the dots.

The more dots you eat, the faster your character will go; this means that as you progress in levels your game will get harder as well.
The goal is to eat all of the dots in each level before time runs out.
At first, it may seem like a simple task but don’t let that fool you!

If a ghost touches Pac-Man, he dies and restarts on a new screen.

The ghosts are always trying to catch you. If they touch Pac-Man, he dies and restarts on a new screen. You can eat the ghosts by eating them when they’re vulnerable (they flash for a few seconds). You can also escape from them by moving away quickly when you spot them approaching you.

You can use power pellets to make the ghosts edible for short periods of time during which they will not pursue you or each other until they reappear in their original positions on the board after the effect has worn off.

When all the pellets have been eaten, you get one point per pellet left on screen, plus 10000 extra points for finishing graphically.

Finish quickly – Bonus +10 points per pellet left on screen when you finish
Finish with no pellets left on screen – 10000 bonus points

If you manage to finish a level without eating any of its dots and with every other dot cleared off the map (i.e., in Pacman lore: “clear round”), then you’ll earn an extra 100000 points!

These tips will help you win at pacman everytime!

You’ll want to use the arrow keys to move around the screen. If you’re playing a two-player game, make sure both players are using different keys so that you can avoid getting stuck in corners. Avoid being caught by the ghosts while trying to collect all of the dots and eating power pellets as soon as possible. The faster the game becomes, the more points you get!
