Hack-Man is based on the concept of Pac-Man which is an arcade video game that was made by Namco and designed by Toru Iwatani. It was released in 1980, and became very popular in the history of games. The game is called Puck-Man in Japan. The game was renamed to Pac-Man in the United States so that nobody could change the "P" to "F". In Hack-Man, the player makes the Hack-Man, a red and yellow disc, move around a maze. The ghosts are Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. The goal is to eat every white pellet (circles) while not getting caught by the ghosts/monsters. For extra points, fruits that appear can also be eaten. The player begins the game with 3 lives, and lose one each time Pac-man collides with a ghost. The game ends when all lives are lost.
