Eating multiple blue ghosts in succession increases their point value. Pac-Man can eat blue ghosts for bonus points when eaten, their eyes make their way back to the center box in the maze, where the ghosts "regenerate" and resume their normal activity. Eating these will cause the ghosts to turn blue with a dizzied expression and reverse direction. Placed at the four corners of the maze are large flashing "energizers", or "power pellets". Each of the four ghosts have their own unique, distinct artificial intelligence (A.I.), or "personalities" Blinky gives direct chase to Pac-Man, Pinky and Inky try to position themselves in front of Pac-Man, usually by cornering him, and Clyde will switch between chasing Pac-Man and fleeing from him. If Pac-Man makes contact with a ghost, he will lose a life the game ends when all lives are lost. When Pac-Man eats all of the dots, the player advances to the next level. The objective of the game is to eat all of the dots placed in the maze while avoiding four colored ghosts - Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan), and Clyde (orange) - that pursue him. Pac-Man is an action maze chase video game the player controls the eponymous character through an enclosed maze. To the bottom is the player's life count and the level icon (represented in this case by a cherry), to the top is the player's score. The four ghosts are in the center of the screen with Pac-Man situated underneath them. The franchise remains one of the highest-grossing and best-selling games, generating more than $14 billion in revenue (as of 2016 ) and 43 million units in sales combined, and has an enduring commercial and cultural legacy, commonly listed as one of the greatest video games of all time. Pac-Man was a widespread critical and commercial success, leading to several sequels, merchandise, and two television series, as well as a hit single by Buckner & Garcia. The original Japanese title of Puckman was derived from the titular character's hockey-puck shape, and is now the mascot and flagship icon of Bandai Namco Entertainment. The in-game characters were made to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger players. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani has said he also rounded out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi ( Japanese: 口).
Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to women as well as men, because most video games of the time had themes of war or sports.
Game development began in early 1979, directed by Toru Iwatani with a nine-man team. Eating large flashing dots called "Power Pellets" causes the ghosts to temporarily turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points. The player controls Pac-Man, who must eat all the dots inside an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts. In North America, the game was released by Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America. The original Japanese title of Puck Man was changed to Pac-Man for international releases as a preventative measure against defacement of the arcade machines by changing the P to an F. Pac-Man is a 1980 maze action video game developed and released by Namco for arcades. PAC-MAN™ & ©1980 BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc.Single-player, multiplayer (alternating turns)
