Pac-Man's 45th Anniversary
Namco is celebrating Pac-Man's forty-fifth anniversary this year!
Was 2010 the year Google had a playable Pac-Man maze in the logo? Feels like so long ago that Google wasn't set on turning itself and YouTube into AI garbage but that's a derail.
Happy Anniversary Pac-Man! It's astonishing how much of a contribution to video games he was.
Pac-Man did not grab me in the arcades, so I spent most of my time with Space Invaders back in the day. I respect Pac-Man's legacy and added many Pac-Man games to my collection over the years, but because my initial impression was poor, I never played any of them. Strange considering I find most maze games appealing. Maybe it's because I prefer to shoot and kill things and not engage in gluttony.
I always meant to play Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness because the updated graphics and sokoban style puzzles looked fun, but somehow never got around to it. It's still on my games I must play before I die list.
When I began collecting Amiga CD32 games I was made aware that Amiga's Fury of the Furries game was later reskinned by Namco with Pac-Man characters to become Pac-In-Time. Who knew!
This thread makes me feel old pac-man was one of the first that i played in arcades.Though these days i often play ms.pac-man more then the original.
