Pac-Man is a game where the titular character navigates a game grid eating pellets while avoiding the four ghosts Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde (I can only remember which one is Pinky). Why the ghosts are after Pac-Man is beyond me (and the grave) but despite having seemingly random patterns, they actually have different styles of movement (revealed on page 4); understanding the style of each ghost is what makes the game challenging.
To fight back, the four large pellets give Pac-Man temporary invulnerability. The ghosts will flash blue and white and will run away from Pac-Man. In this state, he can actually eat them for points, and they will be sent back to their pen and respawn.
Each level has a unique bonus food which appears temporarily. Consuming it give an added point bonus. Each stage increases in difficulty. With every new stage the ghosts move faster, and the time given for invulnerability decreases.
As to why his name is Pac-Man, I don't think anyone explains it better than Scott Pilgrim.
