Pac-Man (パックマン, Pakkuman?) is an arcade
game developed by Namco and first released in Japan on May 22,
1980. It was licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway and released in October 1980.[1][2] Immensely
popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is
considered one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video
games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture.[6][7][8][9] Upon its
release, the game—and, subsequently, Pac-Man derivatives—became a social
phenomenon[10] that sold a
large amount of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and a top-ten
hit single.[11]
When Pac-Man was released, the most popular arcade video games were space shooters, in particular Space Invaders and Asteroids.
The most visible minority were sports games that were mostly derivatives of
Pong.
Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new genre and appealing to both
genders.[12]
Pac-Man is often credited with being a landmark in video game history,
and is among the most famous arcade games of all time.[13] It is also
one of the highest-grossing video games of all time,[14] having
generated more than $2.5 billion in quarters
by the 1990s.[15][16]
The character has appeared in more than 30 officially licensed game
spin-offs,[17] as well as
in numerous unauthorized clones and bootlegs.[18]
According to the Davie-Brown Index, Pac-Man has the highest brand awareness of any video game character among
American consumers, recognized by 94 percent of them.[19]
Pac-Man is one of the longest running video game franchises from the golden age of video arcade games. It is part of
the collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.[20] and of New
York's Museum of Modern Art.[21]
