Hopefully you already have heard of Pac-Man. If not, here's a quick run-down.
Pac-Man (also known as Pakkuman in Chinese!) is an immensely popular arcade game in the United States. Pac-Man is universally considered as one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of the 1980s popular culture. When Pac-Man was released, most of the classic video games were space shooters such as Space Invaders, Defender, or Asteroids. The most visible minority was the sports games that were mostly derivative of Pong. Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new genre and appealing to both genders.
The object of the game is to collect all of the little dots in the level. Collect the corner dots to temporarily make all of the ghosts vulnerable. While the ghosts are blinking blue and white, you can eat them, which will make them disappear for a short period of time before respawning. Use the dots wisely (for example, when you are cornered or when all of the ghosts are all nearby).
Interesting fact: the red ghost, blinky, gets faster as you eat more dots, and the orange ghost is known as the "stupid" one.
