Changes

Players play as the title character, a yellow, pie-shaped character whose objective to eat all the dots in the maze. Pac-Man is chased by four ghost-shaped monsters. Although orignally named Shadow, Speedy, Bashful, and Pokey in the US version of the game, they are now better known by their nick-names Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. They chase Pac-Man with an intention of making the player lose a life. Pac-Man can eat the monsters after eating one of four energizers (Power Pellets), located near the corners surrounding the maze, which turn the monsters blue for a short time. Pac-Dots are worth 10 points, Power Pellets are worth 50 points. When Pac-Man eats the monsters, the first monster he eats is 200 points, the second one is 400 points, the third 800 points, and the fourth 1600 points. Also, after Pac-Man eats a specific number of dots, a bonus fruit appears in the center of the maze for a limited period of time. They give bonus points. If not eaten quickly enough, the fruit will vanish.
