30th anniversary of Pac-Man

Thirty years ago this month one of the most popular video games in the world was introduced — Pac-man!

Atari Pac-Man video game

Pac-man‘s a fun and easy game to play.
But, believe it or not there’s a strategy to play it.
So keep these in mind next time you head to the arcade :

1 – Your only aim is to eat all the dots (it moves you to a higher level)

2 – Eat the red (Blinky) and pink (Pinky) ghost first — the red one takes the shortest route to get to you quickest; the pink one knows where you’re heading.

3 – Try to eat the fruit for bonuses, but remember your ultimate goal is to eat the dots

4 – If a ghost is behind you, stop eating dots (Pac-man moves slower when eating) and go down a clear alley

5 – Eat the blinking white power pellets in an emergency (if a ghost is on your tail), but try to save them ’til the very end.

So go and grab a joystick OR play the game online by clicking HERE!

    It’s probably just for today, but Googe’s home page has a mini-playable Pac-Mac game on the home page.

    Yes, I noticed the Pac-Man game on Google this morning! I wonder how many people at work will be distracted by playing it. I know I was :)
