  35. This game was very popular back in those days it was also fun,the game was very simple just eating the polka dots and eating ghost and i didn't knew it was that old or the name was puck man and was changed to pac man any ways happy 25th pacman anniversary

    ReplyDelete
  36. I remember when I was little I use to play Pac-Man a lot! I used to play it all the time and never got tired of it. Up until this day I haven't gotten tired of it. I really enjoy this game and I can not imagine that time has gone by so fast. It was popular back in the days when it was made but today if you ask someone they know what game this is. This popular game is going to keep on going through the decades even though there is more advanced technology and games are more advanced. I really enjoy this game and I hope that people keep playing it over the years.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well, I have to say that Pac-Man is a popular game! When I first played it, I really enjoyed moving the buttons and trying to not get eaten by the ghosts. It also gets harder every time, and that makes the game challenging for the player. One interesting fact was that they changed it from Pluck-Man to Pac-Man. Happy Pac-Man Anniversary!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Pac-Man is probally the game that got me into video games and what not. I remember playing this game ever since I have memory. If it wasn't for this game, I don't think I would be the same. Happy Anniversary.

  40. I love Pac-Man!! I have always liked pac man, not just because its fun to play, but because Its the game that changed the gaming Industry into all the things I like today. And I think that if Pac-Man had never been created, then we would not have the current games we have today...

  41. This game has been like the best game ever I used to play it every day when I was a little boy. But now all these other arcade games come out think they are going to be the best game ever. But to me I think Pac-Man is still the best arcade game that has ever been made. But other than that there is also new games that I think that will be better than Pac-Man in the future so that what I think.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I Still remember that Pac-Man has been one of the most popular games it has many levels and very challenging . I remember when i was younger that i used to play this game a lot . Pac-Man helped me because this is how i started to play video games before i really didn't like playing video games with my brother but after playing Pac-Man i do . If it wasn't because of this game i would hate Video games well i'm glad this game was popular Happy Anniversary ! .

  43. Pac-Man is so cool to play and watch.I can't believe it's the 30th Anniversary.Thanks too all the people who made Pac-Man.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I liked this game. I can't believe that a little yellow blob would get so popular and even expand into more adventure games and even in party games. If I were born into this era, this would be the game for me

  45. I think this blog post was very interesting, I have heard a lot of things about PAC-man.Once i heard that pacman is a very recomended game to play i love this game.I didn't know it was that old either .

  46. Well, I remember the first day I saw a computer, it was my cousins, I was amazed it had no internet but to me it was totally awesome. The next day I remember waking up early to explore the new "Computadora" I saw the Recycling Bin icon, the QuickTime Player, etc. Boy was I amazed when I saw my Uncle show my cousin the Pac-Man game. After he played I wouldn't stop playing he would cry for me to let him play but I wouldn't let him. After a long day trying to get through the first level I gave up.
    So this article really interested me and I'm sad by the fact that Pac-Man used to be in every computer but now not much have them.

  53. While it wasn't the first video game arcade games including video ones had existed for years PAC-Man turned video gaming into a phenomenon by burning it into the collective consciousness in a way that previous games did not.

  63. I LOVE Pac-Man and I didn't know that it was renamed. I mean I would do that to but, they shouldn't be that scared about someone copyrighting their work. Also PUCK-MAN sounds like a weird name for the game cos' I mean he is eating the dots and ghost not throwing them up. I don't like how they took it away so fast. Yet it was really nice of them to bring Ms. pac-man into the world. I played pac-man everyday of my life and I sometimes wish I didn't get rid of that pac-man joy stick control I had.

  88. Wow pacman has come so far and I am not surprised that this game is practical but very intertaining I have been playing this game for a long time and give thanks that this person made such a mind working game.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I don't undertstand why but I had a bit of difficutly understanding the article. Anyways I'm impressed by how much they've made by selling Pac-Man. It's not a shock but something to be proud of. Whenever I play the game it makes me excited. I congratulate Pac-Man Creators for their excellence in game design. It's important to talk about this because we wonder when will the next be? Interesting? Anything can happen today.

  97. It is crazy how people come out with theses ideas and then they are made into million and even billion dollar ideas. The man that created Pac-Man is a genius because even to this day people think it is fun playing A game that was made in the 1900's.

    ReplyDelete
  98. The blog about Pac-Man was real interesting yet that i'm a real fan player of the arcade game myself. I read about how the game became so popular in arcades and had higher ranks from any other old school virtual/retro devices that's live.. what's great is that there's also other versions of the game created throughout the decade which made me realize that it's not just a box that charges .50 per play, it's a phenomenon that'll live on for centuries..respect remarks to the games anniversary.

  99. I think it's very interesting that Pac-Man has been popular for many years. People would be very amazed if people know how long this game has been here.

  104. I love Pac-Man. When I knew that Pac-Man been for 30 years that surprise me because I didn't know that Pac-Man was going to be that long.

    ReplyDelete
  105. The article was really interesting, and I can tell how much a breakthrough it must have been. If you looked at Pac-Man now, it seems super simple, but back then it was really advanced. Maybe there'll be something in the future that makes our games now look the same way.

    ReplyDelete
  106. .. I never really noticed how old Pac-Man was! It's so awesome. It's like my all time favorite arcade game. Thanks to Namco we have this amazing game that has made people happy for many years

  110. I think pac-man is a cool game , its simplicity and the concept make it fun . I never knew it was this popular , and its weird that it was called Puck-man in China and Pac-man in the U.S. .

    ReplyDelete
  111. It's interresting how much you learn from such little passage like that the actual name for pac-man was actually puc-man , I thought it was funny . Ab=nd now nearly 3 decades it's still one of the most sold games , it's shockig how one of the most sold game of all time was thought by a 10 year old .

    ReplyDelete
  112. Pac-Man!! I never notice that it was that old. Pac-Man is a great game I have play it myself and I enjoy playing the game.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Wow Pac-Man is a really old game and its a really amazing game too. And even if its really old the cool thing about it is that it's still the game that most people play and like . I know I use to play it a'lot and I really liked it and every I played it it made me happy. So if it made me happy I know that lots of other people loved it and it made them happy.
