Toru Iwatani was at GDC last week and discussed the creation and legacy of his legendary Pac-Man arcade game. That game alone was my childhood. From Pac-Man to Ms. Pac-Man to Super Pac-Man, I loved them all. Then came the 80's cartoon series, the toys, breakfeast cereal, ect. It was the first multimedia, video game iconic event. Awesome stuff. His GDC presentation is embed bellow.
Wendy's has Pac-Man toys for the kids. So if you're a Wendy's or Pac-Man fan, you might wanna check'em out.
Finally, it is Ms. Pac-Man's 30th Anniversary this year. Hopefully, Namco has something to celebrate about her. Even though she was an unofficial, Midway hack of the original Pac-Man arcade game. Hopefully, the Japanese game developer understands the successful arcade history of the title, especially it's huge success in North America.
