Pac-Man is a classic arcade video game released in 1980 by the Japanese company Namco (later known as Bandai Namco).

🎮 What’s the game about?

You control a yellow, circle-shaped character named Pac-Man who moves through a maze eating:

• Small white dots (called pellets)

• Larger flashing dots (called power pellets)

👻 The Goal

• Eat all the pellets in the maze to move to the next level.

• Avoid the four colorful ghosts who chase you.

When you eat a power pellet, Pac-Man can temporarily eat the ghosts for extra points!

👻 The Four Ghosts

Each ghost has a different personality and strategy:

• Blinky (red) – chases you directly

• Pinky (pink) – tries to ambush you

• Inky (blue) – unpredictable

• Clyde (orange) – acts random and sometimes retreats

🌟 Why It’s Famous

It’s still playable today on consoles, computers, and mobile devices.
