Arithmetic Pac-Man
History and Reflections
Pac-Man is an arcade game that was developed by Namco
and licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway. It was first
released in Japan in 1980. It quickly caught on in the United States and has
been a popular game ever since.
My version of Pac-Man called Math-Pac-Man is based upon the same format
with a slight twist. Instead of ghosts chasing you, and you eating up all the dots
on a given level before moving to the next, you chase one ghost, the one with
the right answer, and avoid the other ghosts. When you catch the correct ghost
you receive points. When you are caught by the wrong ghost you loose
points. Play the game for as long as you like. You have an unlimited number
of lives.
