How to Play Free Pacman Game

Pacman was one of the first popular video arcade games in the early 1980s. Preteens and teens would save their quarters so they could spend hours playing the game. The main character is a little yellow circle who hungrily eats dots and earn points. The main character is chased around by four ghosts, who Pacman can eat if he eats an energizer first. There are also fruit bonuses and ways to earn free players. The game remains a classic today because it is simple, fun, and appeals to different age groups. Today, fans of the original game as well as new fans can enjoy the game online for free.
