1980年にアーケードで登場したこの迷路アクションゲームは、ビデオゲームの古典として広く認知されています。プレイヤーはパックマンを操作し、閉鎖された迷路内のドットを全て食べ尽くすことが目的です。しかし、4体の色付きのゴーストから逃れなければなりません。迷路の隅に配置されたパワーエサを食べると、一時的にゴーストが青くなり、逆にパックマンが捕食して高得点を狙うことが可能です。このシンプルながら戦略的な回避と捕食の繰り返しが、本作の核となるゲームプレイです。

\nこのゲームは、そのシンプルながら奥深いゲームデザインにより、1980年代のポップカルチャーの象徴となりました。現在も多くのプラットフォームでリメイクや移植版が展開されており、その基本構造は変わらず多くのプレイヤーに親しまれています。
\nゲームの核となるのは、「食べる」ことと「回避」することの連続です。プレイヤーはグリッド状の迷路を移動し、散りばめられた小さなドットをすべて消費することが目的となります。迷路内には、常にプレイヤーを追跡する4体の色分けされた幽霊(ゴースト)が存在し、接触すると残機を失います。
\n\nゲームプレイを特徴づける重要なメカニクスは、迷路の四隅に配置された大きな点滅するアイテム、すなわちパワーエサの存在です。これを食べると、一時的に状況が逆転します。追跡していたゴーストたちが青く変色し、プレイヤーがゴーストを食べることが可能となり、大量のボーナスポイントを獲得できます。この優位性は短時間しか持続しないため、迅速な判断と行動が求められます。
\n\n本作は初期のアーケードゲームに典型的な、高コントラストで抽象的なビジュアルスタイルを採用しています。雰囲気としては、常に緊張感が漂う中で、パワーエサ取得時には一時的に攻撃的な優位性を得られるというバランスで成り立っています。舞台設定は純粋に抽象的であり、挑戦的なナビゲーションのために設計された通路の集合体として描かれています。
\n\n本作は、迷路のナビゲーションとパターン認識という、後の多くのゲームに影響を与えた基本的な概念を確立した、ビデオゲームの基礎を築いた作品として認識されています。その即座に理解できるアクセシビリティと、敵の速度やパターンの複雑化による段階的な難易度上昇が、広く受け入れられた大きな要因です。
\n\nオリジナルはアーケード向けにリリースされたメインゲームであるため、この特定のバージョンに関連付けられた公式のDLCや拡張コンテンツは現在確認されていません。しかし、多くのリメイクやリマスター版が存在し、それらを通じて新しい要素が追加されています。

Morinaga Pac-Man mini is an online game first published in March of 2020. Released by Morinaga, it promotes their "Hi-Chew Mini" and "Caramel Mini" candies. While defunct, this game is still fully playable via the Internet Archive. The Hi-Chew and Caramel Mini candies encouraged "flavor mixing" by eating two specific flavors at once, forming a "new" flavor when combined. The game is adapted from the arcade original, though the Power Pellets are replaced with the respective candies; the Ghosts will turn into the actual candy flavors formed by mixing. There are both "Normal" and "Special" game modes. In a standard game, the maze would be randomly selected to be either a Hi-Chew or Caramel maze. In the special game, the two mazes appear side-by-side, both being played at once. The special game was accessed via the UPC code on an actual candy box; this can still be played today by entering a known code, 166 and 001.

The port features three video modes, one of which has the screen rotated on its side (creating an arcade-perfect pixel layout). Different consoles will utilize one of the three modes depending on its form factor.
