Play Pac Man on NES Online
Classic NES Pac-Man—dodge ghosts, gobble dots, and turn the tables with Power Pills. Simple, frantic, and still weirdly satisfying decades later.
Game Overview
You know Pac-Man, right? That little yellow guy who gobbles dots while being chased around a maze by ghosts? The NES version nails that classic arcade feel—simple, frantic, and weirdly satisfying when you pull off a last-second escape.
The ghosts each have their own annoying personality: Blinky (red) chases you relentlessly, Pinky (pink) tries to cut you off, Inky (blue) does unpredictable nonsense, and Clyde (orange) just sort of... wanders. At first you think they move randomly, but after a few games you start noticing patterns (and swearing at Blinky).
Those big flashing Power Pills? Best feeling ever when you snag one and suddenly you're the predator—watching ghosts turn blue and frantically trying to munch them before they recover. Though the power-up doesn't last long, and nothing's worse than getting cocky and getting caught mid-chase.
Between levels there are these silly little cutscenes—Pac-Man getting chased, ghosts getting their revenge—that feel like a weird cartoon reward for surviving.
