On This Day May 22

Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and created by Japanese video game designer Toru Iwatani. Pac-Man's name was inspired by the Japanese onomatopoeia "pakku-pakku," which sounds like someone opening and closing their mouth. The first ever Pac-Man machine - then called Puck-Man - was installed in a Tokyo movie theater on May 22, 1980.
