ABOUT PAC-MAN
Pac-Man was created by Namco and released in Japan in 1980, with Midway licensing the game for release in North America later that year. Designed by Toru Iwatani, Pac-Man offered a dramatically different experience from the space shooters that dominated arcades at the time. Players navigated a maze, eating dots and power pellets while avoiding the four colorful ghosts—Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde.
The game's simple joystick-only controls, colorful characters, distinctive sounds, and easy-to-understand objective helped Pac-Man appeal to an exceptionally broad audience. It quickly expanded beyond the arcade into home games, merchandise, music, television, and countless other products, becoming one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world.
ARCADE TRIVIA: Pac-Man was originally released in Japan as Puck Man, a name inspired by the Japanese phrase paku-paku, describing the motion of opening and closing one's mouth. For its North American release, the name was changed to Pac-Man—reportedly in part to prevent vandals from easily altering the “P” on arcade cabinets into an “F.”
