You can run, but you can’t hide…
On May 22 1980 Namco released the original PAC-MAN, and to celebrate, Google has inserted a fully-functional version of the game into its logo. Any visitor to the popular search engine can now play a Flash version of the iconic ghost-dodging, dot-munching arcade game, right in their browser.

Namco is also celebrating, and has launched a promotional PAC-MAN 30th Anniversary website, chock full of trivia, more playable Flash games, competitions, and merchandise.

The site also includes in-depth interviews with PAC-MAN’s creator, Toru Iwatani, in which he reveals the reasoning behind the arcade hit’s distinctive design.

PAC-MAN is the first cute game. Before PAC-MAN was released, most games were aggressive, where you did things like shoot aliens. At the time when PAC-MAN was released, the image of the game arcade was that it was a dark and scary place, and it’s a place for only guys. However, we knew that there would be no future in arcades unless girls and couples would come in as well. So PAC-MAN was planned around the concept of “Let’s have girls in game arcades.” That’s also why the enemy characters were colorful – they would be harder to hate.
