Midway Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution by Midway Games in 1980. Immensely popular from its first release through today, Pac-Man is universally considered one of the classics of the medium and an icon of 1980s popular culture. When first launched in Japan on October 10, 1979 by Namco, the game received a lukewarm response, as Space Invaders and other games of similar ilk were far more popular at the time.However, in 1980, the game was picked up for manufacture in the U.S. by Bally division Midway Manufacturing, under the altered title Pac-Man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man [Edited to add supporting reference - McG] May 31 04, 9:10 AM

1 Pac-Man This is my second quiz on Funtrivia. This quiz covers more than just "Pac-Man", including "Ms. Pac-Man", and "Pac Mania". All of these games are on the arcade.
