Is it still worth playing?
Eating all the dots in an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, is the job. It is a 1980 arcade maze game designed by Toru Iwatani, originally titled Puck Man in Japan. Eating a large flashing dot called a Power Pellet turns the ghosts blue and vulnerable for a while, so Pac-Man can eat them for bonus points. Each ghost has its own personality: Blinky chases directly, Pinky and Inky try to position themselves in front of Pac-Man, usually by cornering him, and Clyde switches between chasing and fleeing depending on his distance. Fruit icons at the bottom of the screen show the level, and short cutscenes with Pac-Man and Blinky play between levels. A maze chase with four different pursuers still has plenty to figure out.
