Enjoy the classic arcade game for free

Pac Man is a free arcade game that brings the classic video game to modern devices. Developed by Stonesoft Corp, this app lets players relive the classic munching goodness as they guide the iconic yellow creature across pellet-filled stages while running away from different colored ghosts.

Pac Man sets itself apart from other Pac Man adaptations like Ms. PAC-MAN by Namco or PAC-MAN 256 by adding nothing from the original 1980 video game. This retro classic app is a faithful remake of the original file, with only the improvement in graphics and adapting controls to the modern device being the notable changes.

Collect pellets and avoid ghosts

As soon as you open Pac Man, you will be immediately hit with nostalgia as it shows the decades-old title screen of the original game. Also, you get to enjoy the game full screen on your device, but be warned of a slight inconvenience since the touchscreen controller takes a part of the game screen. Aside from that, it’s a classic Pac Man gaming experience.

For new players, you control the yellow protagonist, guiding him across the map as he tries to collect all pellets while dodging and running away from the ghosts. There are special pellets, larger than normal, that make the ghosts blue and run away from you for a limited period of time. You can “eat” them during this period for additional points. A stage ends once all pellets have been collected.

Of course, there are no new features in this game and while it offers a good taste of nostalgia, the stages appear repetitive after a few tries. The difficulty only gradually increases in terms of the game speed, requiring you to respond faster as you go further into the game. Its small file size, at only 5.21MB, make it worth keeping for retro gamers for the occasional throwback experience.

A faithful retro adaptation

Overall, Pac Man is a great retro adaptation you can add to your device guilt-free. It has a small file size and remains faithful to the source material. This will come across as lacking to new fans as it has no new features or rewards to offer. For fans of the original game, however, this app allows them to enjoy the classic video game in all its glory.
