About Pac-Man • Pac-Man, or PAC-MAN as it is styled graphically, is an arcade game classic designed by Toru Iwatani. Namco first released the game in Japan in May 1980. It was later licensed for distribution in the USA by Midway Games in October 1980. Ms.Pac-Man was released in the United States in February 1982 and went on to become one of the most popular arcade games in history. The games on this website are recreations of old video games and are for the fans. They are in no way connected with the original publishers. How To Play Pac-Man • Use the arrow keys to move Pac-Man or Ms.Pac-Man. Avoid and kill the ghosts and eat all the pellets to complete a level. There are 4 big pellets on each level that Pac-Man or Ms.Pac-Man can eat that allows the ghosts to be eaten. But be quick, because you only have a short amount of time, and with each level you clear, the less and less time you will get. Extra lives are awarded at 10,000 points and then every 20,000 points. On Ms.Pac-Man extra lives may also be awarded after cut scenes which occur every 2-3 levels. You can also collect fruit during the game for extra points.

There's nothing like a little old school Pacman game right? The great arcade game Pac Man was ported to the NES in 1988 and you can play it right here. Never played before?! What?! Eat all the pellets to complete a stage while trying to score as many points as possible by eating fruit and ghosts along the way! But there's more! Ever wonder how Pacman got started? Check out the history of Pacman below and see how it all began. This version of Pac-Man plays exactly like the arcade version that stole countless quarters from kids in the 1980s. The only difference is that it uses HTML5 so it will work in any browser and even on your phone! A Legend Is Born The company Namco gets the credit for developing the most popular arcade game of all time. Toru Iwatani designed the game over the short time of 18 months (yeah back then one guy could write a game on his own, imagine that today?). Iwatani drew inspiration for his game via a famous Japanese phrase known as "Paku-Paku Taberu". This odd sounding name (odd only because it's not English of course) is symbolic of the noise made when one opens and closes their mouth rapidly. After a short 18 months, the game was complete and launched as "Puck Man". Strangely enough, it was NOT a big success after launch. Namco and Iwatani may have developed "Puck Man" in Japan, but it was Midway who marketed to the United States and saw sales fly through the roof. Nobody had ever seen a game like it before. Renamed to Pac-Man in the US, it became a...
