Pac-Man was created by Japanese game designer Toru Iwatani and released by Namco in 1980. The game's unique concept, character design, and approachable gameplay revolutionized the gaming industry. Unlike the space shooters popular at the time, Pac-Man appealed to a broader audience, including women and casual gamers. The game's success led to numerous sequels, merchandise, a television series, and even a hit song!
Navigate Pac-Man through the maze using arrow keys or on-screen controls. Eat all the dots to advance to the next level. Avoid the ghosts - if they catch you, you'll lose a life. Collect power pellets to temporarily turn ghosts blue, allowing you to eat them for bonus points. The game ends when you've lost all your lives.
Pac-Man became the first video game character to achieve widespread recognition beyond gaming circles. In 2010, Google created a playable Pac-Man doodle to celebrate the game's 30th anniversary, which was so popular it reportedly cost businesses millions in lost productivity!
