I've never been a video game guy, but when I was a kid it'd be tough to say there was a bigger cultural phenomenon than Pac-Man. To this day it's the only video game that even mildly interests me, probably because of its simplicity.
Play it HERE.
To me, the most interesting part comes from its inventor:
Iwatani said he did not personally profit from the creation of Pac-Man, saying, "The truth of the matter is, there were no rewards per se for the success of Pac-Man. I was just an employee. There was no change in my salary, no bonus, no official citation of any kind."That's pretty in credible. And then of course there's the evil Billy Mitchell.
