Official description
It's your job to keep Pac-Man as happy as possible. You must guide him around the maze so that he can eat video wafers and power pills. Protect him from the ghosts unless he has the super strength of a power pill. If he does have the super strength, help him chase the ghosts and gobble them up before they gobble him.

Editor notes (2)
Much-hyped at the time of its release - understandable, given that Atari had secured the home rights to the #1 arcade game of all time - the 2600 Pac-Man turned out to be a colossal disappointment. Not only did it bear but a superficial resemblence to the arcade original, but this new version wasn't even that much fun to play! Still, at the time a lot of people were willing to put up with it, and 2600 Pac-Man went on to become a best-seller (and the pack-in cart for the 2600 in '82). The fact that so many of those cartridges are now in thrift stores for fifty cents each is immaterial...
