About PACMAN Game
Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and published by Midway, released in Japan on May 22, 1980. Initially released only in arcades. Pac-Man, which is still popular today, has also been released on other platforms such as Game Boy and SNES. The designer of the game is Toru Iwatani, who is an employee of Namco.
It was 40 years ago, Pac-Man first arrived in Japanese arcades and captured our hearts with its simple, yet challenging gameplay. even after so long, Pac-Man still reigns as a cultural icon.
This game is written in HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript (using small bits of jquery). In the original 1980 arcade version of Pac-Man, you play as a yellow, disc-shaped hero and make your way through a maze. Your goal is to eat all the dots in the field, while avoiding the four ghosts of different colors that roam the field and chase you. If you collect the four powers dots (which are slightly thicker than the normal dot) present in the stage, then you gain the ability to eat ghosts, and they start running away from you.
Other arcade games at that time had violence, while the pacman game was much simpler and more child-friendly. In fact, the creators of the game wanted to make a game that is free from violence and at the same time is also amusing for children and women. Such understanding contributed heavily to the unusual mainstream success of the game at the time.
PacMan is now considered one of the best classic video games as well as an icon of the 1980s. One of the reasons for its success is the form of the game that can be liked by both men and women compared to other arcade games before Pac-Man such as Space Invaders and Defender which are shooting games.
Pacman Game Rules
Players must control a yellow character named Pac-Man and carry him around a maze of passages while eating small dots and other special objects. At the same time, there are four "ghosts" wandering the hall tasked with catching Pac-Man. The player can complete a level if he/she manages to eat all the dots and special objects. In theory, the game could continue indefinitely without a level limit, but in classic arcade version, the 256th level had a bug that caused the image on the screen to be erratic and therefore Pac-Man couldn't continue to play past that level.
