Today we’re going to talk about Pac-Man, the legend of legends! Pac-Man, in which the yellow monster moving on the screen did not stop eating, became the biggest bomb of the 80s. Not only that, it has stood the test of time and still holds an important place in popular culture today. This game, which everyone has played at least once in their lives, is still available on gaming platforms. So let’s take a little journey into the history of the Pac-Man legend…<\/div>\n

Pac-Man’s main task is to consume everything in his path. The real purpose of video games in the 80’s was that the target audience of video games was men. Toru Iwatan’s aim was to change the target audience.<\/div>\n

2) It was originally going to be called Puck-Man.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\"puck-man\"<\/div>\n
The name Puck-Man was inspired by the Japanese word ‘pakku pakku’, which means to eat. Pakku pakku actually means crunchy food. It would be very appropriate for the content of the game, but ‘Puck’ in English means ‘mischievous fairy, naughty boy’. Given the confusion, it would have been inappropriate to call the game Puck-Man. It was decided to name the game Pac-Man because it creates a similar sound integrity when read.<\/div>\n

In addition to the game being played so much, the song ‘Pac-Man Fever’ by Buckner & Garcia broke an unexpected record. Also known as the Pacman song, this unexpected record caught the attention of CBS Records, who requested an album of the song. The album featured 8 songs named Pac-Man, Frogger, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Berzerk, Defender. The album reached 2 million sales.<\/div>\n
