Pac Man is a deep rooted cultural icon for most Americans and Japanese. Developed in 18 months by a Namco employee in Japan, the game was released as pakku-man (パックマン). Pakku represents the sound made when opening the mouth and the shaped was part inspired by a pizza missing a slice and by usuing a rounded Japanese character for mouth or kuchi (å£) in Japanese.
Later the game was released in America under the title Pac-Man since Puck-Man closely resembles a bad word and doesn’t sound as cool. The game soon became a worldwide phenomenon within the video game industry, resulting in numerous sequels and merchandising tie-ins. Pac-Man’s success bred imitation, and an entire genre of maze-chase video games soon emerged.
Here’s your chance to experience or re-experience the joys of Pac Man.
