Have you ever heard of Pac-Man? Pac-Man was different than video games today. Its graphics and sounds weren’t as advanced, it didn’t look as realistic, but it sure was fun! Pac-Man is one of the most important and popular video games of all time. Some credit Pac-Man as one of the reasons video games are so popular today.
Pac-Man is simple enough. The object is to eat all the dots on each board to move on to the next board. The four ghosts: Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde chase Pac-Man. If a ghost catches Pac-Man, he or she loses one of three lives. Pac-Man, in turn, eat the ghosts if he eats a power pellet and then catches one. Pac-Man players can score extra points by eating the floating fruits that appear every round. If player eats every dot on the board, he or she moves on to the next round. There are 256 total rounds! The game ends when all three lives are gone.
