Pakkuman

July 04
A Pac-Man themed post for your Sunday. First up, here are some of the original sketches for the game by creator Toru Iwatani, who along with programmer Shigeo Funaki and Toshio Kai designed the Pakkuman for Namco around 1980.

Needless to say, the game’s gone through many tributes and spoofs since, including that recent(ish) playable Google logo. I also couldn’t resist putting up this video by Rémi Gaillard doing the human pac-man in France. Watch and laugh.
