It's amazing that it's been 40 years since this game revolutionized the video game industry. The first Pac-Man game machine was put in Tokyo in May 1980 and although the game is older than me, I remember playing Pac-Man in the 90s and I still play it.

A yellow ball that all you do is eat and escape from some ghosts caught the attention of millions of players worldwide. This game does not seek to imitate any sport or adventure, you just play stages and accumulate points.
