The doodle game is an 8-bit version of the original game including the four ghosts, Pacman, and its cookies and power cookies. On May 21, 2010, Google decided to celebrate this occasion together with the game’s creators and players with a Google doodle. Today, you can also play its version online.
Initially, you could play the game from floppy disks or hard drives. The game attracted players because of its sound effects, the balance between ease and difficulty, beautiful visuals, and simple outlook.Īnd it kept them hooked because of its minimal hardware requirements and addictive nature. The name Pacman was also inspired by the Japanese word, ‘ paku-paku-taberu’ which is the name of the sound created when someone opens and closes his mouth quickly to eat something. We have established that Pacman was an idea from a Japanese video game designer – this revelation was obvious from Pacman’s design, wasn’t it? You may have never thought about it but the food Pacman eats is a bunch of cookies. These missing slices represent Pacman mouth that helps him eat his food.
So, Pacman became a pizza with two missing slices. He got his inspiration from a pizza whose pie was missing. He wanted a game that focused on food items using funny figures.
