Much like Space Invaders, practically everyone on the planet knows the rules of Pac-Man: try and gobble up all the pellets before the ghosts get you. Simple.

And while most players would reasonably expect that sitting still is an easy way to get yourself killed by one of the ghosts, the original version of the game actually contains a secret/accidental hiding space where players can hang out without fear of death.

Granted, you need to first get there without being seen by any of the ghosts, but if you do make it to the nook, you won't ever be hassled by the ghosts because their behaviour routines won't ever tell them to visit that location.

And like that, you've just broken Pac-Man.
