Pac-Man is one of the most recognizable video games in history, even at today’s levels. Pac-Man is a Japanese creation, created by Namco, and in 1982 it was released in the united states. Pac-Man was huge success and become a major icon of popular gaming culture. Pac-man managed to inspire a cereal, an animated television series and a top 40 pop single.
Pac-Man became one of the best-selling coin-operated games in history. Over 350,000 Pac-Man machines were made and sold around the world.
The original Pac-Man game was comprised of 256 levels. Due to a bug, however, only the first 255 levels are playable. The right half of level 256 is a jumbled mess and the level can not be finished. So, the highest attainable score is 3,330,360 which can only be achieved by eating every fruit, dot, power pellet and blue ghost for 255 levels.
Due to Pac-Man's sudden and long lasting popularity Namco was forced to give gamers something new. The most notable and significant was Ms. Pac-Man which featured several improvements and changes such as faster gamplay, more mazes, new intermissions and moving bonus items. Others not take of in such scope were and were later discontinued and forgotten.

Pac-man attracted doctors, kids, lawyers, grandparents all to play. Next time you think Halo and Grand theft auto changed our gaming world, just think Pac-Man managed to capture our imaginations so much it even created a shortage of yen coins in the country.

More commentsI have beaten Pac-man World 2 Wormwood was hard on Ghost Bayou
If you want to know how to beat Blinky's Frog this how you beat him, first you need to dodge his attacks then you butt bounce on the wood of the frogs tun. Then when the frogs tun is metal all you have to do is rev-roll into his mouth after you get the golden cherry
If you want to know how to beat Inky's-Blade-O-Matic this is how you beat him, first dodge the attacks then rev-roll into his mouth after he will be on his second form you must go on the platforms and when he comes by you butt bounce on the platform while your in the air press a again where the glass area on the machine. After he will be on his last form it is simple you just rev-roll into his mouth again. After you will receive the golden straberry.
If you want to know how to beat Clyde In The Caldera this is how you beat him, first dodge the fireballs and then when he goes down low to another cliff you go to that cliff and butt bounce on the glass and you keep repeating until you get the golden pair
If you want to know how to beat Whale On Sub this is how you beat him, and guess who is controling MegaWhale? All 5 Ghosts! The only thing you have to do is blow up the engine of MegaWhale. MegaWhales Engines are those prepellers stiking out in the back. Once you defeat MegaWhale you get the golden bannana. But be careful because, the level coming up is Haunted Board Walk. On Ghost Island and it is hard!
On Pac-man World 2 they say the level Ghost Bayou is the longest level. But they are wrong! You don't have to keep folowing the board walk. You can just rev-roll off the board walk and keep doing that every time you get on a board walk. Until you make it to the boss called WormWood
Me and my friend beat Pac-man World 2 again just now!
The level Night Crawling in Pac-man World 2 is pretty short and pretty easy so don't worry.
Megawhale is a very easy boss!
hey. where did you get the information about the game "Pac-man World 4: Spooky Returns"? I'd love to know.
