Gameplay
The player in Pac-Man controls a character of the same name through a maze filled with little dots. But, the player isn't the only one traversing the maze. There are four enemy ghosts bent on killing the Pac-Man. The goal for the player is to eat all the little dots on each maze which clears it sending the player to the next level, all while avoiding those pesky ghosts. But, Pac-Man has a trick up his sleeves for the ghosts. There are four larger, flashing dots called "energizers" of "power pellets."
