Toru Iwatani, creator of Pac-Man, because of the Game Developers Conference revealed to IGN known 7 Web unusual curiosities of the curious mouth binge.
# 1 The girls like to eat.
Believe it or not, Pac-Man was a game designed to attract girls to "Smelly and dirty 80's arcades. To compensate, Toru Iwatani decided to choose a theme for your game that the girls knew Amari: Eating candy. "Girls love to eat desserts."
# 2 The arcades are a mess.
Toru Iwatani described the arcades of the time as "a playground for kids, smelly and dirty." Its main objective with Pac-Man was not only attract the "girls and couples" to those spaces, but also make them clean and bright spots.
# 3 Cookies? Cookies!
All Pac-Man is about to chew. The name "Pac-Man" is Japanese for "Paku-paku taberu" (the onomatopoeic sound of chewing in that language) and Iwatani called "Great Cookies" to the balls that turn the ghosts blue.
# 4 Fireworks!
The classic Pac-Man sequence dissolves at death was created in the likeness with the explosion of fireworks.
# 5 Ghosts!
Toru Iwatani's boss did not agree with the idea of \u200b\u200bplacing colored ghosts in the game, because she says, people would not know which ones were good and which were bad. She suggested making them all red. Iwatani conducted a survey to all people working in the game then and multicolored ghosts won 15 - 0 and remained in the final version of Pac-Man.
# 6 24 kilobytes!
Pac-Man weighs less than 24 kilobytes ... that is roughly the weight of a Pac-Man picture on the Internet.
# 7 Super boring.
Last but not least, when asked what he thought Iwatani on Super Pac-Man, he said it was "boring" and that over the design of Pac-Man for that game was too big. Sorry Super Pac-Man.
