Trivia
Eyeing the game's success in Japan, Namco initialized plans to bring the game to the international market, particularly the United States. Before showing the game to distributors, Namco of America made a number of changes, such as altering the names of the ghosts. Another was the game's title, as executives at Namco were worried that vandals would change the "P" in Puck Man to an "F". Masaya Nakamura chose to rename it to Pac-Man, as he felt it was closer to the game's original Japanese title of Pakkuman. In Europe, the game was released under both titles. After Puck Man was ruled out but before Pac-Man was decided upon, early American promotional material used the name Snapper.

Arcade Legend

Pac-Man is one of those games that has still it's effect on you after so many years. A simple but effected game as you play Pac-Man, a Pie-shaped as he goes around each level of maze munching on energizer dots however he is chase by four roaming ghosts.

The game still offers a lot for all kinds of gamers even after being released many years ago and many other titles it just still the fun factor and gives you that challenge even now.

Pac-Man just tests your skills as a gamer and wants to make you improve your scores before or do better then you did before. Yes the game gets to you on some levels but it just still overall fun.

The controls are easy to learn, the game play is good as well plus the effects of the game will make you whistle and think about it when you're not playing.

Pac-Man is just one of those games that all video game fans love so do yourself a favor and play it

I give Pac-Man an 7 out of 10
