Pac-Man/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

The title character himself needs no introduction.  You control Pac-Man as you guide him through the maze and on to victory.  Pac-Man's one and only goal is to gobble up every dot (and power pellet) in the maze.  He must avoid contact with the four ghosts unless they are temporarily afraid of Pac-Man as a result of eating one of the four power pellet.  Pac-Man moves faster when he's not eating dots than when he is.  He is also capable of turning around corners faster than the ghosts, so make as many turns as possible when the ghosts are on his tail.  Pac-Man earns 10 points for every dot eaten, and 50 points for each power pellet.  You typically earn one extra life when you reach 10,000 points, but this setting can be modified.
