Flash PACMAN Deluxe Pac-Man is a maze game. The player maneuvers Pac-Man, a yellow circle with a mouth, to navigate a maze while eating small dots and other item prizes. A level, or board, is finished when all the \'dots\' are eaten. Four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) also wander the maze in an attempt to catch Pac-Man. Each level begins with three ghosts in their \'ghost pen\' and one above it, and Pac-Man near the bottom of the maze. The ghosts are released from the pen one by one at the start of each level.
There are four power-up items near the corners of the maze, known as \'energizers\' or \'power pellets\' which provide Pac-Man with the temporary ability to eat the ghosts. The ghosts turn a deep blue and reverse direction immediately when Pac-Man eats an energizer, and they move more slowly while they are vulnerable. The ghosts are worth 200, 400, 800, and 1600 points, in sequence. The values reset back to 200 each time another Power Pellet is eaten, so it is advantageous for the player to eat all four ghosts perpellet. If a ghost is eaten, his eyes return to the \'ghost pen\' where they will be restored to normal. The ghosts flash white five times before they revert to being dangerous. The amount of time the ghosts remain vulnerable after a Power Pellet is eaten varies from one board to the next, but the time period generally becomes shorter as the game progresses, and after many boards have been completed the ghosts will actually not turn blue at all when the energizers are eaten (but they will still reverse direction).
Regular \'dots\' are worth ten points each (there are 240 of them on each board), and Power Pellets (known as \'power food\' in Japan) are worth fifty points each. Additionally, points can be earned by having Pac-Man eat a bonus prize (generically referred to as a \'fruit,\' even though a few are not actually fruit) that appears twice during each board just below the monster pen. The symbols change with each successive one or two boards, and their point value steadily increases:
Cherries, 100 points
Strawberry, 300 points
Orange, 500 points
Apple, 700 points
Indistinct green fruit (supposedly a bunch of grapes), 1000 points
Flagship from Galaxian, 2000 points
Bell, 3000 points
Key, 5000 points
A myth arose that far into the game, an extremely rare item would appear, either a screwdriver or a bar of gold, with these items giving 50,000 and 100,000 points respectively. In reality, there are no such items.
