Conceived by designer Toru Iwatani and released by Namco in 1980, Pac-Man broke the mold by providing a fun alternative to the prevalent space-shooter games of that era. The game introduced an endearing character gobbling up pellets while avoiding colorful ghosts in a maze, a concept that resonated with a wide demographic. Despite being over four decades old, Pac-Man's legacy remains relevant in today's gaming landscape. A fanart Big Pac-Man Sticker.
