The Story of Pac-Man | Gaming Delight

#pacman #namco #atari
Gaming Delight presents Pac-Man, a maze-chase game where a round little guy munches on dots. A game that brought more women into arcades. A game that inspired many other developers. A game that began its development with a pizza. We'll also be talking about Atari's port of the game for the Atari 2600.

Wow! This video is great top to bottom! I found the location where the first Pac-Man was play tested. But it’s not like there’s anything special about it remaining today

[@GamingDelight]

Greatly appreciated!

[@GTV-Japan]

I saw you passed 1,000! 🎉 👍🏻 congrats

[@GamingDelight]

@@GTV-Japan And in less than a full week! Faster than any other video I posted on this channel! And it's all thanks to you! Here's hoping this video hits 10,000 soon, and I reach 1,000 subscribers. I'm now well over 200.

[@GTV-Japan]

That would be great. Don’t get discouraged as eventually views stop but if you have a consistent view rate after that however small it will eventually get there

[@CarletonTorpin]

This was the first time I’ve learned how the personalizes of the ghosts were programmed! Oh, Clyde. Will you ever smarten up?

[@donjaun540]

What an awesome video. Thank you. Pac Man is I believe the first game I ever played. Certainly stuck in my super young memories. 👍

[@nahumgardner]

Great video. GTV sent me and I'm subbed now.

[@Pogini]

Awesome work! You've got a new subscriber! 👍😁

[@BlueBallsGamer]

Now I understand many things so many things in life: Clyde was programmed to do as whatever the hell he wants. And I thought he was going through the maze of life, with direction and purpose. Damn. You've got a new subscriber here!

[@desiredj1780]

Excellent video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@overtimearcade]

Great video! And everybody loves Pac-Man!

[@SurriSama]

Great video, I can feel the "Gaming Historian" inspiration, and you've used it well. Look forward to watching more of your content 😊

[@GamingDelight]

I owe it to Norm for inspiring me to become a real KZbinr.

[@SurriSama]

@@GamingDelight That's awesome, and i found this channel on a recommendation after watching one of Gaming Historians videos so, KZbin has noticed as well, and you'll be growing fast now that the algorithm has found you!

Excellent video. I think Pac-Man was the first proper lead Video Game character, and Ms Pac-Man was the first female lead Video Game character.

[@akaimizu1]

No argument there. Before those two, you pretty much had mainly unnamed individuals, ships, paddles, and the like. You basically were playing you in whatever occupation you played. Pacman arrived with an actual character not representing you at all, and actual character named ghosts and personalities.

[@JD.78]

@@akaimizu1 Yeah, i agree with you. Before Pac-Man it was mainly representations of ships, cars, tanks, etc. Taking on the role of a proper chatacter made the player invest more care into saving them and therefor more time playing. A wise choice indeed. Cheers.

[@ACameronUK]

Awesome video - entertaining and I learned things ☺️ thanks

[@timothypacello9922]

GTV told me to watch you, so here I am.

[@ntnrocket1]

Amazing foresight to change the name from Puck-man--like they said F's woulda been written on every machine everywhere.

[@k1rkpad]

Wow! Puckman??? Really?!!
