Pac-Man Arcade Game Backglass (1980)
Namco / Midway
Pac-Man was an arcade game released by Midway in 1980. It appeared as the pack-in game for the Atari 2600 a year later, and became the best-selling game for the console. Pac-Man quickly became a pop-culture icon of the 1980's, appearing on his own TV series as well as having his own cereal brand. The success of Pac-Man paved the way for later Pac-Man games including Ms. Pac-Man (1982), Pac-Mania (1987), & Super Pac-Man (1982).
