TGHAEMBEESSFTR8M0s'-90s' Video games are defined based on their platform, which includes arcade games, console games and computer games. Recently the industry has expanded to mobile games using smartphones and tablets, virtual reality and layered systems and remote cloud games. Video games are classified into a wide variety of genres based on the type of game and their purpose. In Zoombit Nostalgia Week we go back to the 80s and 90s to the wonderful games we all grew up on. Pac-Man1980 Pac-Man is an action game in a maze developed and released by Namco for arcades in 1980. The original Japanese title of Pac Man was changed to Pac-Man for international releases as a means of preventing the destruction of arcade machines by changing the P to F in North America, the game was released By Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America. The player controls a pack-man, who must eat all the dots in a closed maze while avoiding four colorful ghosts. Eating large flash points called \"power balls\" causes the ghosts to turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them in exchange for bonus points. Game development began in early 1979, directed by Toro Iwatani with a team of nine people. Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to both women and men, since most of the video games of that era were meant for war or sports. Although the inspiration for Pac-Man's character was the figure of a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani said that he also rounded the Japanese character to the mouth, Kochi. The characters in the game are supposed to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger players. The original Japanese title of Pacman is derived from the hockey-pak form of the title character, and is now the mascot and emblem of the flagship of Bandai Namco Entertainment. Pac-Man enjoyed widespread critical and commercial success, leading to a number of sequels, merchandise and two TV series, as well as a hit single by Buckner and Garcia. The franchise remains one of the highest-grossing and revenue-generating games, generating revenue of more than $ 14 billion (as of 2016) and 43 million units in sales combined, and has an ongoing commercial and cultural heritage, typically evolving into one of the greatest video games of all time.
