Pac-Man

Paku-Paku translated as the munching sound in Japanese is what Pac-Man meant in Japanese or as they say it "Puck-Man". The idea of this genius game came from a torn pizza that looked like the yellow character when its creator Toru Lwatami was eating and by genius I mean it actually was awarded by Guinness world records as "most successful coin operated game ". In the 1980's Pac-Man hits the US selling over 100000 units and in 1981 Ms. Pac-Man or should I say Pac-Woman was developed including multiple mazes and faster game-play. Then in 1982 "Pac-Man Fever" A cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the US and it sold over a million copies. Pac-Man was a circle dot that has a triangular mouth that ate dots. Each level had 240 dots to munch and there was 255 levels the 256th was unbeatable. 3,333,360 points is the max possible score anyone could get and it was first achieved by Billy Mitchel in 6 hours he is probably the greatest arcade gamer ever. In the Pac-Man game there was 4 villain ghosts that try to destroy Pac-Man. The red ghost was named Blinky, it usually takes the shortest route to you and tends to follow you. The blue ghost was called Inky and he probably was the most dangerous because he was unpredictable with his random movements. The pink ghost was named Pinky and it would always surprise you. The last ghost was orange and it was called Clyde, it was the least of a threat because it always wandered off. There are bonus points that Pac-Man would eat like the cherry which gave the least points of 100 and the blue key which gave the most points of 5000. Pac-Mans classic dissolving death was inspired by fireworks explosions. There wasn't any good inspirational quotes from Pac-Man but you would  hear " waka, waka, waka!''
