Pac-Man is a maze action game developed and released by Namco for arcades in 1980.  In 1982 Pac-Man was ported to the Atari 2600 by Atari. This version of the game was widely criticized for its inaccurate portrayal of the arcade version and for its peculiar design choices, most notably the flickering effect of the ghosts. However, it was a commercial success. Pac Man is rated as one of the Top 10 Atari 2600 games of all time.
