Genre: Arcade (maze game)
Publisher: Atarisoft
Year: 1983
System: Apple II
Pac-Man is the official Apple II port published under the Atarisoft label in 1983. This version is based on Taxman, a clone of Namco’s arcade original developed in 1981 for the Apple II by H.A.L. Labs, which Atari later acquired and rebranded. The game recreates the classic gameplay: guide Pac-Man through a single-screen maze, eat all pellets, avoid ghosts, and use energizers to temporarily turn the ghosts vulnerable. The port supports keyboard and joystick control.
