If you throw in another coin, Ms. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. PAC-MAN using the WASD keys).
Pac Man was released in Japan on May 22 1980. The game was developed primarily by a young Namco employee Toru Iwatani, over a year, beginning in April 1979, employing a nine-man team. The original title was pronounced pakku-man and was inspired by the Japanese onomatopoeic phrase paku-paku taberu where paku-paku describes (the sound of) the mouth movement when widely opened and then closed in succession. Although it is often cited that the character’s shape was inspired by a pizza missing a slice, he admitted in a 1986 interview that it was a half-truth and the character design also came from simplifying and rounding out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi (?) as well as the basic concept of eating. It was referred to as the ‘peaceful game’ suitable for any age and both genders.
For sure playing it on a doodle is like a walk down on golden memory lane of the childhood when we used to save money to go to a game parlor and spend many hours competing with friends and siblings.
