SPECIAL | How Pac-Man ate his way into gaming history

In 1980, the world of arcade games got a jolt that changed the gaming world forever. That’s when a round yellow fellow with a large set of chompers known as Pac-Man first came on the scene. It’s now been 45 years since the game was first imported to the US from Japan as PuckMan, a name that was quickly changed. It’s interesting to note that, in the original game, the few players who completed all levels simply landed on a garbled “kill screen.” How is it that a game with no defined way to even “win” managed to take hold and never let go? Chris Morris, an independent journalist and editor who specializes in the video game and consumer electronics industries, joins USA TODAY’s The Excerpt to discuss the outsized cultural impact of Pac-Man.
