Pac-Man

Who in the world have never played Pac-man? Eventhough Pac-man is not the oldest game, but hey, it’s one of the greatest hits in 80’s.

Pac-man was originally came from the word “Pakku-man” where it was inspired by the word “Paku-Paku” in Japanese, meaning the sound / noise : Chomp chomp. It was developed by Midway (Namco), and published in Japan on 1979 with the name “Puck-Man”. When it was released in United States, the name was changed to Pac-Man, fearing that by simply replacing P with an F will create a mockery.

If you’re willing to develop a clone of Pac-Man game, for your assignments or anything, head on to the Wiki page of Pac-Man. You can find various rules and ghost’s behaviour, as well as bonus, scores, and other stuff.
