Pac-Man is by far one of the most recognizable video game characters in history. That is in large part because he was the first character to ever appear in a video game, making him the ¡§grandfather of all video game characters.¡¨ Pac-Man was first introduced in Japan on May 22, 1980, with the release of the famous Pac-Man arcade game. The game is in many people¡¦s memory of childhood and teenage years. Even today, up to six million players are still mad about it.
The name Pac-Man came from a Japanese expression, paku-paku taberu, which means to eat in a wild manner. The sound paku-paku mimics the sound of a person chomping their food. In English, the game was first called Puck Man but was changed to Pac-Man before it was launched in the US.
The game was created by Toru Iwatani, a Japanese video game designer. Hoping to make a game that would appeal to both men and women, Iwatani decided the focus of the game should be on eating, something that everyone can relate to. Even Pac-Man¡¦s shape is based on food. The inspiration for Pac-Man¡¦s character came from a pizza with a single slice removed. The space where the slice was missing became the character¡¦s mouth.
In the video game, players must travel through a maze and eat dots of energy while avoiding the ghosts that roam the passageways. If one of the ghosts, who are named Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, catches Pac-Man, then the player loses a life. While the concept is simple, finishing the game is anything but easy. In fact, the original Pac-Man can¡¦t even be completed because of a glitch on the 256th level!
