Pac Man
Many carnivals have an arcade section and, in this area, there are many classic games, including Pac Man. Pac Man is a classic video game in which the player must make a yellow circle man eat dots through a maze and avoid getting eaten by "bad guys" within the game. The game can be played on a classic arcade stand which makes it perfect for carnivals.
Tetris
Tetris is another arcade popular game at carnivals, as many people know how to play it. The game consists of shapes that you move around as they fall from the top of the screen. The goal is for all the shapes to fit together and have the colors match so they disappear and make space for new ones to come into play.
Ball Toss
Ball toss is an electric carnival game. For this game, the player has a set number of balls, usually between six and 19, which he throws up a ramp. On the top of the ramp are divides; each divide is worth a different score. The higher up on the ramp, the smaller the space on the divide, and the higher the points received. All points are calculated electronically.
