Pac Man turned 30n May 22nd. Orginally called Puck Man, the game was developed in Japan by Toru Iwatani, for the Namco game company to compete against Space Invaders and Asteroid. The maze genre of game was meant to appeal to a wider audience then these 'fighting' games and it is acknowledged to have a 95% brand recognition in the United States.
There have been a wide array of spin offs and alternative media products, this is a classic example of Popular Culture.
