To celebrate Pac-man’s thirty years, you can play online at the official 30th anniversary Pac-man site, pac-man.com, or at Google where they have their first interactive doodle that allows everyone to play pac-man at the search engine’s home page. You can also download pac-man from the internet and play the game while you’re offline.
Pac-man is a game made by Bandai Namco Games in Japan. They chose the title for their popular character, PUCK MAN – which was later on called PAC-MAN. It was released in the United States in October 1980. This game became a huge hit worldwide that sold over 100,000 a year.
Pac-man has simple rules with cute and colorful characters. The goal is simple, to eat all the dots in the maze and avoid getting caught by any of the four ghosts – Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. A power pellet gives Pac-man the ability to eat ghosts but only for a limited time. The pac-man trend resulted to popular animated television series and a hit disco record, “Pac-man Fever” by Buckner and Garcia. Namco Bandai will also celebrate their character with a new video game to be presented by mid of June at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
