Pac-Man
While children these days spend hours playing the latest sophisticated games on their computers, consoles and TV sets, it's worth remembering the kind of electronic games that were "in" when their parents were young.
Back in the early 1980s, children used to line up in video arcades eagerly waiting for their turn to put a quarter in the machine and play a game of Pac-Man. Pac-Man was a yellow circle with a cheese-shaped wedge missing, and you had yo steer him around a maze of dots until you had eaten all the dots up. The whole time, you were being chased by four ghosts (that even had names!) and if they caught you, that was "game over." However, if you ate one of the four "power pellets" found in each of the corners of the maze, you could turn the tables for a while and eat the ghosts for maximum point scoring.
Created by a Japanese video-game designer, Tour lwatani, who used to be a designer for the Namco software company, Pac-Man became one of the most famous and addictive of the original arcade video games. It is still loved today all over the world.
