Original Pac-Man: World’s Most Popular Arcade Game
Brief History
The original Pac-Man was developed by Namco and first released in Japan in 1979. In 1980, the classic arcade game was later introduced to the American market. Due to a lukewarm response from Japanese consumers, no one expected it to become a hit in the United States overnight.
In 1982, Atari sought the rights to license and publish Pac-Man for their 2600 console. This gave American consumers an opportunity to play the original arcade game at home. However, a rushed production of the game left much to be desired.
