Pac-Man, originally titled Puck Man in Japan, is a 1980 maze video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. Players guide Pac-Man through an enclosed maze, eating dots while avoiding four colored ghosts. Power Pellets temporarily make the ghosts vulnerable. Designed by Toru Iwatani and a nine-person team, the game was intended to appeal to women as well as men and became a major commercial and cultural success.
