January 10, 2014
This week, Apple is out to satisfy your hunger. Your hunger for pellets and ghosts, that is, as it has just chosen none other than Pac-Man as its free App of the Week.
Based on the 1980 arcade game developed by Namco, Pac-Man lets you play as the famously ravenous title character right on your iOS device.
Released on the day of the launch of the App Store itself, Pac-Man for iOS was updated to version 5.0 a month ago with Retina display support and eight new mazes, in addition to the classic coin-operated maze.
