Read some interesting info on this this morning......

Toru Iwatani, who worked for Namco, was inspired to create Pac-Man by looking at a pizza that was missing a slice.

He originally called it Puck-man, but that was changed for obvious reasons.

Billy Mitchell is the first and only known person to ever play a perfect game of Pac-man, scoring 3,333,360 pts and clearing all 256 levels. he accomplished this in 1999 and it took over 6 hours.

Happy Birthday, Pac-man.
