How PAC-MAN was inspired by the yellow color of LEGO® bricks
PAC-MAN is hands down one of the best arcade games of all time. During its production in 1979, the lead designer of the game, Toru Iwatani, wanted to create an inclusive game that appealed to everyone, everywhere.
In the game, you navigate the maze to eat all the PAC-DOTs, POWER PELLETs, fruits and other items before the four colored ghosts get you first. The thrill of completing the maze is just as satisfying as the bleeping sound effects.While the game remains massively popular to this day, nothing beats the original coin-operated arcade version.
