Pac-man – Atari 2600 Game

Navigate the maze, eat all the dots, and avoid the four ghosts—Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde—in the legendary 1982 Atari 2600 port of Pac-Man. One of the most hotly anticipated home video game releases of its era, this version was programmed by Toru Iwatani (the original arcade creator) and rushed to market to capitalize on the arcade phenomenon. While criticized at the time for its flickering ghosts, simplified maze design, and "bonking" sound effects, the Atari 2600 version went on to sell over 7 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling games on the system.
