Pac-Man is easily the most recognized video game in history. The yellow, ghost-eating protagonist with big, friendly eyes has been a cultural phenomenon since his release in 1980. That’s why it only makes sense that Pac-Man is turning 30 this year!
There have been many anniversary celebrations for the little yellow character over the years, but this time around there are some unique offerings. There’s even a new version of Pac-Man that’s challenging and fun to play again after decades of playing the same old level again and again!
Why is Pac-Man Celebrating 30 Years?

Another reason is that the game’s original designer, Toru Iwatani, was born on January 6, 1950. Iwatani was a key figure in bringing this still-popular game to life.
Finally, the game launched in the West in May 1982, making it a 30-year-old game. The game was an instant hit, being played by millions of people around the world. It was one of the first games to be played in arcades and later at home on console systems. Pac-Man remains a hugely popular game to this day, even appearing on everything from T-shirts to cereal boxes.
