This is the GBA port of the original NES Pac-Man, and honestly, it’s about as straightforward as it gets. You’ve got the same maze, the same ghosts, and that same little yellow guy chomping dots like his life depends on it. The controls feel a little stiff compared to modern versions, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about the simplicity—no fancy power-ups or gimmicks, just you, four ghosts, and a whole lot of pellets.

If you’ve never played Pac-Man before (somehow?), the goal is simple: clear the board while avoiding Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Grab a power pellet, turn the tables, and chomp them for bonus points. The GBA screen’s a bit small, so sometimes the ghosts blend into the maze, but that just adds to the old-school charm. It’s pure arcade nostalgia in your pocket.

Perfect for quick sessions when you just need to kill a few minutes—or if you’re feeling competitive, try beating your high score.
