On May 22, 1980, Namco launched the first Pac-Man machine in a movie theatre at the crowded street of Shibuya, Tokyo. Today, b is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the ever famous game Pac-Man.
Aside from being the inspiration of a novel and addictive game, Pac-Man also became the media’s superstar and appeared on lunch boxes, cover magazines, cartoons and even made it on the Top 10 Pop Hit.

Unlike the other competition of the Pac-Man game, Pac-Man’s way of eating dots and being chased by ghost game play still keeps it very addicting even in adults.
With the advent of technology, Namco Bandai also managed to squeeze the Pac-Man game into your handy iPhone. According to Namco, Pac-Man is still a money maker even if it is already 30 years old. Friday, Google revealed the first ever “doodle” a version Pac-Man.
None of this could have happened if it wasn’t for genius game designer Toro Iwatani. Iwatani created cute characters for the game which was another reason why people still loves Pac-Man even if it is 30 years old already.
