What was the original Pac Man game?
The classic and hugely popular video game Pac-Man was released in Japan on May 21, 1980 and in the United States in October of the same year. The yellow, pie-shaped Pac-Man character traveling through a maze trying to eat dots and avoid four hunting ghosts quickly became an icon of the 1980s.
The PacMan 30th anniversary of the game
Pac-Man is an iconic character in video game history created in 1979 by designer Tōru Iwatani for the Japanese company Namco.
The game was released in arcades in the fall of 1979 in Japan under the title Puck Man, derived from the Japanese ‘paku paku’ which indicates the action of opening and closing the mouth, by extension it is the act of eating greedily. It was an immediate success and was marketed in 1980 in the United States and the rest of the world. The change of name from Puck Man to Pac-Man responds to the concern to avoid that little comics scratch the loop of the P to make it an F, which would have constituted an obscenity relatively frowned upon in the arcades, mainly frequented by young people.
The original game includes 255 different mazes (the game was considered to go to infinity, but the 256th level is unplayable due to a bug that drowns the right half of the level under a big pile of symbols, this bug comes from the fact that the number of levels was coded on a single byte). In 1999, American Billy Mitchell became the first player to achieve the perfect score of 3,333,360 points on the game. He completed all the levels in six hours, catching all the fruits, eating the four ghosts at each bonus, and losing no life. On May 21, 2010, Google changed its logo to a playable version to celebrate the PacMan 30th anniversary.
