As one of the most instantly recognizable games ever released, Pac-Man is a true testament to the impact video games can make on a generation of players. As an ode to the iconic game, the Pacman 30th Anniversary Google Doodle was brought to life in 2010, celebrating the game?s success since its original release back in 1980. For a game that follows a yellow ball eating and running away from ghosts, it sure has made its mark. The pop culture icon was created by a young video game designer named Toru Iwatani. According to him, when he first began drafting the title, ?arcades were filled with violent video games that had you killing aliens.? Toru Iwatani was already in the industry at this time, working for Namco. He further described the arcades as gloomy places were only boys wanted to hang out. Therefore, he set out to fight that stereotype by creating a game that women and couples could also enjoy.
