Few games have invested as much time in history as this one, I confess that I still play a version of it on my mobile phone with Android operating system, but nothing like going back to those times when video games were in their infancy.

This game was released in 1980 and its creator was Toru Iwatani, who worked for the Japanese video game company Namco.

The story goes that he was inspired to create the game while eating a pizza and noticed what the missing slice looked like. He wanted to create a video game character that was friendly, unlike the muscle-bound, tough heroes that were common at the time.

In this game, you control a hungry yellow Pac-Man, whose only goal in life is to eat all the dots scattered around the maze while avoiding the ghosts chasing him.

Pac-Man became iconic in the video game industry. Its simple but addictive gameplay, along with its charismatic character, made it a cultural phenomenon, which still endures today.

Over the years, Pac-Man has had numerous sequels and versions on different platforms, from consoles to mobile devices.

In addition, the game has inspired a plethora of merchandise, TV shows, movies and even a catchy song called "Pac-Man Fever".

This is one of my all-time favorites, super classic.

It is also one of my favourites.

These games of yesteryear are the best, I died of nostalgia

Saving the technology, I think the old games had more soul.

I remember the hidden hours I enjoyed playing this Pac Man.
It was a very pleasant time.

I still play it from time to time.
