Here’s some Pac Man notes and numbers:

  • Pac-Man is a maze action game developed and released by Namco for arcades in 1980. In North America, the game was released by Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America.
  • The arcade version of Pac-Man on its own is worth an estimated $7.6 billion.. But this doesn't include alternative sources of revenue the franchise would generate. For example, the Ms. Pac-Man arcade game on its own is worth an estimated $2.4 billion.
  • The first "Pac-Man" machine was placed in an arcade in Tokyo's bustling Shibuya District on May 22, 1980,
  • The original Japanese name was Puckman, which evolved from the Japanese word paku, meaning "chomp." Given the closeness to a certain explicit four-letter English word, a lot of arcade operators at the time were worried that vandals would alter the letter P. Eventually, "Pac" was suggested as an alternate name.
  • Ms Pac Man, the sequel to Pac Man, was released in 1982.
