Pac-Man is 30 years old.

Google is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of PAC-MAN today, the legendary little slice of pizza stormed the world after its launch in 1980 along with his spooky adversaries Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde. I remember playing pack man at our local social club as a kid with my uncles and aunties all trying to get the initials in the top spot. That little 2 player table top version of PAC-MAN would be a collectors item now.
There were a truck load of spin offs from PAC-MAN including the Miss PAC-MAN games and even a cartoon on Saterday morning telly for a few years.
The little guy is still going strong today with the PAC-MAN iPhone app being hugely popular.
I couldn’t resist marking the moment myself so I decided to film myself having a game on the google doodle version of the game.
I still haven’t lost my touch, I managed a score of 32,300. But i reckon I could have done better with a proper old school joystick.
Happy Birthday PAC-MAN, Inky, Blinky, Pinky & Clyde.

Oh yeah I was wondering if I could have all the pocket money I gave you back too.
