Pac-Man's levels consist of blue lines representing maze boundaries against a black background. Each level is populated with pellets that Pac-Man must eat to progress, along with larger "power pellets." In Pac-Man, progressing through the levels changes the maze's layout, while the game becomes more challenging as the ghosts chase Pac-Man faster.

Technologies Used

When Pac-Man was being exported to America, executives changed the original name from "Puck-Man" to "Pac-Man" to avoid arcade cabinets being defaced to change "puck" to an obscenity. Also, Ms. Pac-Man was not created by Namco, the original company that published Pac-Man, so her appearances in Namco games have resulted in lawsuits over royalty payments on many occasions.

Big Idea

Fun fact: Pac-Man was originally called "Puck-Man," but when the game was being imported into America, executives changed the name for fear of vandalism to arcade cabinets that would replace the "p" in "puck" with an "f."
