Pacman
December 30th, 2005 by Anita in Retro Games
Do you remember going to the mall and playing Pacman? If you loved it as much I did, you will sure enjoy sitting at home and playing the flash version on your computer.
The game play is pretty much like the arcade game. The power pill is very important. If you eat on these pills, you will be able to eat all the ghosts that are chasing you around. You will recognize these power pills as the large white dots. After you eat one, the ghosts will turn blue. You can eat them but their eyes will remain and then they reappear in the middle box of the maze. So, even if you eat a ghost they will come back to haunt you. If you eat any pieces of fruit you will gain points that will help your score rise. The controls are pretty simple but unlike the arcade game, you must use the arrow keys on your computer keyboard. The arrow keys correspond to the direction that you move him in.
Of course, the strategy for this game is like the arcade game version; eat as many white dots as you can while moving away from the ghosts. When you get one chasing you they will all follow and that is the best time to chomp down on a power pill and then turn and eat the ghosts quickly.
The object of Pacman is to eat all the white dots and not be eaten yourself. The more dots you consume the faster the ghosts will move in your direction. You must eat all the white dots in the maze before you can move on to the next level.
As you play the game, you will notice that there are escape routes on both sides of the maze. This is very helpful if you cannot escape the ghosts that are chasing you. The escape route will take you to the other side of the maze where you can eat more dots along the way.
You can enjoy playing Pacman here.
