What is a Pac-Man?
Pac-Man is a video game that was originally released in 1980. It was made by Namco and released in North America by Midway Manufacturing. In the game, you control Pac-Man, a yellow character who eats all the dots in a maze. As he eats the dots, you must avoid the four colourful ghosts.
If Pac-Man eats a big flashing dot, called a Power Pellet, the ghosts turn blue for a short time. When the ghosts are blue, Pac-Man can eat them and score extra points.
