Play Pacman Online

Pac-Man was released on the NES in 1984, developed by Namco. It immediately felt at home on the console, a faithful arcade adaptation that fit perfectly within the early NES library’s focus on simple, repeatable gameplay.

Players control a yellow circle navigating mazes, eating all the dots while avoiding four colorful ghosts. The primary objective is to clear each maze to advance, but strategy revolves around power pellets, which let you temporarily chase and consume the ghosts. Mazes are fixed, so learning the layout, turns, and shortcuts is key. The game is fast-paced; ghosts become quicker and more aggressive as you progress, with difficulty ramping up steadily. It delivers a tense but satisfying experience when you outsmart them and clear the board.
