First launched in 1980, PAC-MAN was one of the most influential arcade games of the decade. Featuring the iconic pizza shaped hero (based on the Japanese character for mouth), the game established the trend for a mascot led gaming franchise, and the character soon became an instantly recognizable icon of popular culture. Starting from a simple premise of collecting pellets around a maze (while being pursued by the four intrepid ghosts of the game - Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde), the game has remained popular ever since, spawning numerous sequels, remakes and spin-offs, and is a much treasured classic by gamers young and old alike. Officially licensed product.
