About this game
Pac-Man is a single-player maze game.
The player controls Pac-Man, a yellow, circular character who must navigate a series of enclosed mazes while eating small pellets scattered along the paths.

The objective in each stage is to clear the maze of all pellets while avoiding capture by four ghosts who pursue Pac-Man relentlessly.
As the player progresses, the mazes repeat but with increased difficulty as the ghosts become faster and more aggressive.
The ghosts each follow distinct behavioral patterns that affect how they chase the player.
Blinky, the red ghost, targets Pac-Man directly.
Pinky, the pink ghost, attempts to ambush from ahead.
Inky, the blue ghost, uses a conditional strategy that can create unpredictable movement, while Clyde, the orange ghost, alternates between chasing and wandering aimlessly.
One touch from any ghost results in the loss of a life, and the game ends when all lives are lost.
To counter the ghosts, four large power pellets, known as Energizers, are positioned in the corners of the maze.
Eating one temporarily changes the ghosts to a vulnerable blue state, allowing Pac-Man to chase and consume them for bonus points.
When eaten, the ghosts’ eyes return to the central box where they regenerate and resume pursuit.
Fruits and other bonus items also appear occasionally in the maze, granting additional points if collected.
The game offers continuous play with no fixed ending.
After every few stages, short comedic intermissions between Pac-Man and the ghosts are shown as lighthearted rewards, becoming progressively more elaborate.
As players advance through more levels, the speed of the game increases and the Energizer effect shortens, eventually reaching a point where the ghosts no longer turn blue.
Pac-Man was first released in arcades and has since been reissued under multiple titles, including Jelly Monsters , PacMan , Arcade Archives: Pac-Man , and Arcade Game Series: Pac-Man (amongst others).
These versions preserve the original gameplay,
About Nintendo Wii
Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.
Gamevaro tracks Pac-Man for Nintendo Wii with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pac-Man to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WII release dates back to 1980.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pac-Man, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
