Pac-Man was first released in Japan on May 22, 1980, and remains popular in the United States from its original release to the present day. The original title of Pac-Man was pronounced pakku-man, was inspired by the Japanese onomatopoeic phrase paku-paku taberu where paku-paku describes (the sound of) the mouth movement when widely opened and then closed in succession. Pakku-man was picked up on the following year for manufacture in the United States by Bally division Midway, under the altered title Pac-Man.
Pac-Man become an icon of video game culture during the 1980s, and are often cited as an identifying cultural experience of Generation X. Unfortunately there's no Ms. Pac-Man, an unauthorized hack of Pac-Man created by General Computer Corporation, included in this retro arcade plug & play TV game system edition. However, if you like these classic games this is well worth the money.
