PAC-MAN Guía y cronología
PAC-MAN's first problem is simple: clear the maze while the ghosts try to corner him. A power pellet briefly changes who is chasing whom. Later games carry that appetite and familiar cast into platform adventures, competitive variations and stranger reinventions, with the arcade's quick decisions still at the heart of many versions.

Timeline guide
PAC-MAN: a maze is only one way in
Start with the arcade PAC-MAN for maze chasing, or Pac-Man World for a character adventure. Choose an original World game or its Re-PAC version; playing both is an optional comparison.

The groups distinguish styles and subseries. They should not be read as three carefully synchronized story universes.
Overview & recommendation
The original maze is easy to understand and difficult to stop thinking about: how far can you push a route before a ghost cuts it off? That tension is a good place to meet PAC-MAN, but it is not the only thing the name has come to mean.
The World games turn him into an adventure hero who explores, jumps and fights bosses. Other reinventions bend the familiar maze-and-ghost idea toward new kinds of competition or action. Choose the kind of play that interests you, then look back at how the same recognizable pieces were rearranged.
Try the arcade original for the central idea. If you want a longer adventure, select World Adventure Branch and follow the World games in sequence, choosing between original and Re-PAC versions where offered.
