    akhera's Galaga (Arcade)

    [December 5, 2012 01:16:20 AM]
    Pacman is a simple maze escape game in which player controls the Pac Man character through a maze and helps him eat pellets. The goal of the game is to eat all of the pellets in that stage and advance to the next level. There are 255 levels in the game, each of which, get progressively more difficult as the game progresses. There are four enemies nicknamed Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde who roam the maze trying to catch Pac Man. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, Pacman loses a life. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. Pacman must evade the enemies unless he picks up one of the four power pellets in the maps which allow Pac- Man to eat his enemies. My experience playing Pac Man was awesome primarily because Pac Man was the first video game I ever played. I remember being in awe when I went to arcade, put in a quarter, and started playing Pac Man. As a little kid, I used to always question everything I was unsure of. However, even though I had no idea what a yellow ball like thing was doing running away from ghosts and eating pellets, I felt an unparalleled attachment to the game and Pac Man and loved everything about it. It was very simple, yet extremely fun and addicting and I spent several hours at the arcade each weekend playing it. Overall, Pac Man has had an enormous impact on the gaming industry. Many consider Pacman to be one of the most influential games of all time for many reasons. First of all, the game’s main character Pac Man was the gaming industry’s first mascot or iconic figure. Although there was not real story behind Pac Man, he truly revealed the potential of a gaming character. The creation of Pac Man inevitably lead to the invention of several of the biggest characters in the gaming industry such as Mario, Sonic, and Zelda. Additionally, Pac-Man was the first maze chase game created and it lead to a whole genre of maze games to follow. Furthermore, it was the first game to future cut scenes which brought forth the narrative and artistic aspects to gaming and lead to the development of story driven games such as Final Fantasy, God of War, and Metal Gear Solid. Lastly, Pac Man was the first game to feature power-ups which have become an important part of many popular RPG, Fighting, and Adventure games.
