Pac-Man Card Match
Control
Harness the power of your mouse to guide heroes through shimmering portals and ancient ruins, where every click carves paths through chaos, every flick of the wrist summons storms or silences them, and every choice etches your legacy into the living tapestry of a realm teetering between creation and oblivion.
description
Originally released under the name PUCKMAN in Japan during May 1980, Pac-Man became a cultural phenomenon after its North American debut through Midway Games later that October. Designed by Toru Iwatani for Namco, the game broke conventions at a time when arcades were dominated by intense space-themed titles like *Galaxian* and *Asteroids*. Its vibrant maze-chase gameplay not only pioneered a new genre but also transcended gaming to become a lasting symbol of 1980s pop culture. Notably, the title appealed widely across demographics—a 1982 study suggested roughly 60% of its players were female, contrasting sharply with male-dominated audiences for games such as *Omega Race*, where 90% of players were reported as male. Decades later, it remains a cornerstone of video game history, celebrated for its accessibility and enduring legacy.
