In 1983 the first Pac-Man conversion of the arcade blockbuster Pac-Man (from 1980) was realeased for the C64 by Namco under Arialosoft. In the first game the yellow smilie Pac-Man had to collect all dots inside a labyrinth by eating them. At the same time he needs to watch out for the 4 ghosts named Blinky aka Shadow, Pinky aka Speedy, Inky aka Bashful and Clyde aka Pokey that disturb him while eating and which cause him to lose a life when he touches them. Pac-Man can change the side of the labyrinth through the tunnels attached at the sides and with this confuse the ghosts. Furthermore by eating the 4 energy points he can make the ghosts take flight for a short time and eat them. As a bonus every few minutes fruit appears at the starting position of Pac-Man. A round is done when all points have been eaten. With every new level the ghosts get faster and need to be caught more quickly.
There are many versions of Pac-Man. Sometimes it is closer to the arcade version, sometimes it is more a 3D-labyrinth game or it is transferred to space surroundings. There are Pac-Man games for the most computer and console systems. Some versions for the C64 are Ms. Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man Super Pac-Man and Pacmania.
