From CNN:
For a video game, Pac-Man is getting downright old. The ghost-wary hero with an insatiable appetite for dots turns 25 this month.
From the early 1980s “Pac-Mania” to today’s endless sequels and rip-offs, the original master of maze management remains a bright yellow circle on the cultural radar.
But there was more to Pac-Man’s broad appeal than eating dots and dodging on-screen archrivals Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde.
