Pacman Overview

Published05.07.2015

Pacman is a much-needed game to play, since it is a classic video game that has its origins in arcade gaming, when you actually had to go outside and find a gaming center, or an Arcade, where you found the Pac-Man machine, a whole computerized machine meant for just playing this game.

Well, today, everything is simplified, and you can now play it from your computers, phones, or any other devices, and for free, like the rest of our games. Whether you are familiar with the concept or new to it, allow us to show you the magic of this game!

Play Pacman online for free!

You control Pac-Man (known as Puck-Man in Japanese, where it was invented), using the the arrow keys. It is a yellow blob who opens his mouth all the time, and that's because he has to eat. What? The orbs!

As Pac-Man you are in a maze, where you have to go around and collect and eat up all the orbs, getting points in return for them all. It's not that simple, though, since there are enemies there trying to stop you from doing that by eating you instead.

They are known as the ghosts, and there are four of them: Blinky (Red), Pinky (Pink), Inky (Cyan), and Clyde (Orange). If they eat you, you lose a life, and you've got only three in total, so losing them all means losing the game.

Through the maze, there will be a few orbs that are bigger, and they give you the power to eat the ghosts instead, for a few seconds, so use it, as each ghost you eat values 50 extra points, more than any orb can give you! Ghosts return after they've been killed, so you never actually get rid of them. They are undead, at the end of the day!
