Pac-Man fans celebrate game's birthday
Happy birthday Pac-Man!
Fans of the iconic game celebrate 32 years of running from ghosts in a surprising variety of ways.
- On May 22, 1980, Japanese video developer Namco introduced the world to Pakkuman.
- This simple, maze-based arcade game revolved around a hungry yellow orb and four ghosts bent on killing him.
It wasn't elaborate, or even very interesting by today's standards, but the game did exceptionally well -- both in Japan and overseas in North America where it was known as "Pac-Man." - Pac-Man has since become a 1980's cultural icon and one of the most influential games of all time. The character crosses many boundaries, appearing in the worlds of style...
- Art...
- Food...
- Technology...
- And more.
- The game itself has generated millions of dollars in revenue over the years, a good chunk of which can be surely attributed to arcade-machine quarters in the 80s and 90s.
- Many would argue that no birthday wish could rival Google's playable Pac-Man doodle, released exactly two years ago to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary in 2010.
