Pac-Man is an arcade video game originally released in 1980 by Bandai Namco Entertainment which has become synonymous with gaming for generations of players worldwide. Officially introduced in the US in October 1980, it gained popularity far higher than in Japan and became fondly referred to as "Pac-Man fever". The massive admiration led to a robust merchandising program with more than 400 items and a TV series with high ratings (56% of share) in the US.

In June 2005, Guinness World Records bestowed the honor of "Most Successful Coin-Operated game machine" on Pac-Man.

With new console and mobile games launching every year, its popularity has crossed the globe for more than 40 years.
