Pac-Man Card Match

Description:

Pac-Man (stylized in all capitals as PAC-MAN) is an arcade game created by Toru Iwatani (1955–) of Namco, and originally released in Japan as PUCKMAN in May 1980. Licensed by Midway Games for distribution in the United States, it debuted in October 1980 during a time dominated by “stark” space shooters like Galaxian and Asteroids. Pac-Man set the standards for the maze chase genre and remains a classic in video game history and an iconic symbol of 1980s pop culture. A gender gap in gaming preferences was noted; in 1982, it was estimated that 60% of Pac-Man players were women, while 90% of Omega Race players were men.
