Pac Man the legend and its 30th anniversary

The influence of Pac-Man on popular culture has been enormous. The game has become well-known because of references in music, television shows, and movies. Even Pac-Man has a song named after him, "Pac-Man Fever," which became popular in the 1980s. Pac-Man's legacy will undoubtedly linger for many years to come, given how much of an impact it has had on both the gaming industry and popular culture.

As we commemorate Pac-Man's 30th anniversary with Waka-Waka, it is abundantly evident that this legendary game has had a profound impact on popular culture. Pac-Man has delighted and entertained generations of gamers from its humble origins in arcades to its current prominence as a household name. Pac-Man has made a special place in the hearts of gamers everywhere thanks to its creative gameplay, vibrant characters, and catchy music. The game's appeal and addictiveness are still as strong as ever, even after 30 years.

It's obvious that Pac-Man is much more than just a nostalgic game as we reflect on its history. It is evidence of the ability of gaming to unite people, stimulate creativity, and generate enduring memories. So let's toast to 30 years of Waka-Waka and all the fun and entertainment that Pac-Man has given us all over the years. May the game endure for many years to come, and may its legacy motivate upcoming gaming generations.

PAC-MAN's 45th anniversary is coming up next year! I wanted to celebrate a little bit early by re-drawing a throwback to his 30th anniversary PAC-MAN PARTY! ^^

This one was really fun to draw! ^^

How old is the arcade?

idk about you, but I always got the impression that the Fix-it-Felix jr cabinet wasn't original to the arcade, and was plugged in some months or years after it opened. during the movie they have a 30th anniversary party for Fix-it-Felix Jr, not for the whole arcade, which you would assume would be a bigger deal for the characters and would be hosted in a communal location like GCS. The 30th anniversary of the whole arcade is also likely something that would be celebrated by actual humans, keeping a business running for that long is no small feat. We also see gamers commenting on how realistic Fix-it-Felix Jr's animations are in the opening, presumably after it's first plugged it, which to me implies that it's a more recent addition than the games around it.

How old is the arcade then? well, in the first few seconds of this zoom out, we can see 4 other games, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Turbotime and Pac-Man.

(Listing north American release dates here:) Space invaders came out in November of 1978. Asteroids came out in November of 1979. Pac-Man came out in December of 1980. Turbotime doesn't have a stated release date as far as I can tell, but it was inspired by Rally-X, a game that came out in October of 1980.

Assuming Mr Litwack bought these 4 games at the same time, then the earliest the arcade possibly could have opened is December of 1980. I would be willing to bet it actually opened a few months later though. idk a lot about business but opening a family fun center in January doesn't sound like the best idea.

What this all means is that the meme I made last week of King Candy stylin on Turbo's grave has incorrect dates. it should have read 1980-1987. Maybe whoever made the gravestone can't count idk. (or more likely Turbo was lyin to make himself look younger because he's vain) Rip Turbo/King Candy 1980-2012 forever burning in our hearts. ❤

DIDN'T WANNA FEEL OLD IN 2025? SUCKS TO BE YOU!

HEY THERE PEOPLE OF TODAY AND ROBOTS OF TOMORROW! IT'S ME, CLARK!

Y'know what's funny? All last year peeps kept liking my 'Didn't Wanna Feel Old' journal from 2023. One commenter said I should make a new one for 2024. Jee, ya' don't say? Guess you missed how that was already a thing. Was nobody interested in seeing what all reached a major milestone back in 2024? Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, they all celebrated their 40th Anniversary, Lion King had its 30th, a lot of cool stuff got that much older. Shame nobody seemed to notice. Ah well, maybe 2025 will be better. Especially when a certain someone is celebrating his own major milestone this year. When, exactly? Read to find out!

Here's my wrap-up on the PlayStation for 2024. I found out that i'm a big RPG player when it comes to my PlayStation. Much like with my Nintendo, it looks great to see memories when playing with my PlayStation and my Nintendo. I have been enjoying on celebrating PlayStation's 30th Anniversary when i enjoy some of the sound effects from the past PlayStation systems, but with PlayStation 1's sound effect to the menu, i know it sounds similar to how PlayStation 1 Classic system like the NES and SNES. And my Wrap-Up told me i'm actually a Role Player since i do enjoy playing RPG games a lot.

And for Top 5, we have,

5. South Park Stick of Truth.

I have enjoy playing the South Park Games a lot, even though i usually watch some of the old episodes including some of the rewatched episodes. I normally don't like watching the modern seasons of South Park since they're so heavy. But i would stick with playing some of the South Park games, since i would play the 3 titles, Stick of Truth, Fractured but Whole, and Snow Day, but i don't know why people despise Snow Day, but maybe when i get the game, i'll see how the gameplay goes. And maybe one day my brother should give the three South Park titles a go. Even though he would rather play the Stick of Truth.

4. Gran Turismo 7.

I have been enjoying on Racing Games since my Filipino Friend and i do make a lot of progress with that game, even if we do some random races, and online races and take photos together, then i'm sure our OCs would enjoy great Gran Turismo content together.

3. Persona 5 Royal.

I enjoy the dialogue to Persona 5 Royal since it is the better version whenever it comes to Persona, even i still make progress and wanting to a Cartoon Network version of Persona 5 Royal. Especially when i make videos and photos of wanting to do Persona in wanting to tell the description in Cartoon Network style.

2. PUBG Battlegrounds.

I do play this game a lot with some of my friends. I even played the Xbox version, but i would rather stick with playing the PlayStation version since i do talk with some of my friends online, and the best part of this game, is that you don't need a membership to play this game and online. Alongside Fall Guys, unless for people that have an Epic Games account to play Fall Guys or any Epic Games title. Which it was a pain for me to help get into playing an Epic Games title and when signing in. Plus, this game is much better than Fortnite this game and Fall Guys is good too.

Honorable Mentions.

Resident Evil 2, 5, and Code Veronica X.

I do enjoy playing the Resident Evil Games whenever i want to explore survival horror games. Even when it comes to imagining one of our OCs to play any Resident Evil titles.

Pac-Man Museum Plus.

I do enjoy playing some of the Pac-Man themed titles. Since i did gave this game to my A-Pal and we both enjoy this game. And i do enjoy playing the game with the D-Pads where i move Left and Right like platforms, fighting games and even Arcade games.

And for #1

Persona 3 Reload.

I have enjoy playing this game even when i thought this game just came out during February. I was going to download it, but i ended up getting a physical copy. And i do enjoy the Dialogue compared to Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal. And i thought Reload is much better compared to Persona 3 Portable, and it looks like with that title, i'll have to stick with playing as the Female Protagonist anytime i want to play that. And if i beat Reload, i might play Episode A.I.G.I.S. whenever i get the chance. I know that add on works similar to how Persona 3 FES does. And normally i have been working hard on doing the characters of wanting to do Cartoon Network in Persona 3 Reloaded. And since now i have been getting back to playing one of the Persona titles, i'll normally make some good progress with all the titles. But i'll be cautious when i play Persona 3 Reloaded too much. Even though the dialogue is still good, but there might be a few heavy stuffs in the game.

And that's all the Wrap-Ups i got for my PlayStation. Let's hope this year on the PlayStation side will do good compared to the Nintendo titles. Especially for this Role Player like me.

Ansolutely confused at how now the damn 2000s and late 1990s are trending when I was actually born in that era? Like I understand now the internet is mostly blogged by teenagers and young adults. Early forums were full of late Gen X and early Millenials talking about High School and DOOM and computer science and Star Trek, and there was always a notalgia for their time, which in the mid teens to mid twenties in the early 90s was the 70s.

Of course in the 90s nostalgia was for 30 years ago when more mainstream and popular musicians in their late 20s and early 30s pined for the sounds of their childhood, the 1960s. Smash Mouth’s Walkin on the Sun, Austin Powers, the… Live Action Flinstones Movies I guess? And Movies about Vietnam or life after Vietnam like Forrest Gump and Full Metal Jacket (technically late 80s but you get what I mean)

Mainstream Anachronistic appeal is for 30 years ago, producers and musicians and designers and advertisers use their childhood experiences and background to use nostalgia and a unique and no longer popular aesthetic to appeal to an also rich with money, decently wealthy, nostalgic group of consumers who grew up in a similar era.

Not only that but that’s how nostalgia influences politics. Eisenhower got elected in the 50s for being a war veteran and talking about benefits for American infrastructure but also booming markets, appealing to the 1920s postwar boom after WWI

Kennedy appeals to the idea of equity and social justice and progress like FDR in the 30s along with LBJ.

Nixon uses the iconography of WWII to justify nam and the boomers following their parents to serve their country.

Reagan appeals to the “good old fashioned family” of the 1950s and his stardom in the movies during that era to get elected. Reagan uses a LOT of his old age and fashion to imitate a nuclear family husband and his wife Nancy as the housewife. Drug panics were more a 1930s thing but the fear of gangs and gang violence with drugs was a 50s thing, and evangelism from the 1950s came back in swing with the religious right!

Bill Clinton uses his hippie background to appeal to Liberals and pushes for free markets but equity amongst people like early Kennedy.

Bush and Obama surprisingly don���t appeal that much to the 1970s or 80s, giving the early 2010s and 2000s this unique aesthetic of politicians being a new template.

Then Donald Trump comes along as a synthesis of Reagan era nationalism and Jerry Falwell era hope and faith of the 80s with sprinkles of Rush Limbaugh era bigotry from the 90s, and now we have essentially Bill Clinton 2.

I lived through the 2010s and basically saw the 80s get revived in real time. The 2000s for me was a blur but I do remember a couple movies or music would imitate 70s pop and funk music. The Bee Gees got popular again, while emo rock got popular I think properties like Scooby Doo and other stuff from the 70s were getting franchise movies. Star Trek movies too!

Then the 2010s start and you get a trickle of nostalgia, mostly geek and gamer companies selling properties from the 80s like He-man, Transformers, Nintendo game references to Mario and Zelda and Metroid, google does a doodle for Pac man’s 30th anniversary, Wreck it Ralph is a movie about arcade games, Michael Bay makes dough with his Transformers movies.

Then we get Marvel and D but specifically superheroes from the Bronze age of the 1980s. Watchmen, the Dark Knight trilogy, and heck the Avengers are more based off the modern 80s designs than the silver age 60s ones. Nerd culture is in full swing, by the mid 2010s Adam Sandler made a movie where 80s video games invade earth, Thor Ragnarok is essentially a movie built on 80s aesthetics, Five Nights At Freddy’s is a game about Chuck E Cheese horror mascots like those of the 80s! Indie games base a lot of game design and aesthetic from games of the NES! Shovel Knight for gods sake!

IT got a remake and that’s about a clown that terrorizes Maine every 27 years coming out 27 years after the 1990 TV series.

Thundercats reboot, She-ra reboot, Ghostbusters gets a 2016 movie, Pac man got a cartoon on Disney XD for some reason, music begins using synth pop again, rap explodes on the scene!

And by the 2020s after a decade of nostalgia, there’s been an underground movement of 90s nostalgia, mainly indie games and music that imitate either 90s platformers or 3D aesthetic or the revive of the Boomer shooter thanks to New Blood studios and DOOM 2016, 90s cartoons nostalgia makes the return of the zany and unhinged animation that only lurked on Newgrounds for so long. That was during the early to mid 2010s when people in their teens and 20s were pining for the era of the 90s. Now the 90s are turning 30. Mainstream appeal is making it to producers new on the scene, consumers born during that era, and designers taking aesthetics from their surroundings.

The teens and young adults now in their teens to mid twenties are born between 2008 (15 years old) and 1998 (25 years old) meaning that… the new counterculture of young people nostalgic for their childhood were born in the late 90s to 2000s the era of PS2 video games and chrome and see through electronics and bubbly round design and shiny gradients is here. Though most people on this site were born during that era, the people in their later 20s were around to play those games and absorb their culture. Given 2 more years and we’ll be in the mid 2020s where the appeal of pop culture is the mid 90s, of the Playstation, the N64, the simpsons, and post-punk.

Then the nostalgia for the young rebels is the mid 2000s to early 2010s, after all nostalgia for the Nintendo DS while in it’s height right now when people my age remember fondly that hardware, it’s fading away, along with nostalgia for the Wii… to the Golden Age of Cartoon Network and the era of the late DS and the 3ds, admittedly PKMN Black and White and late 2000s cartoons got revivals back in 2020 due to memes, but that was a fad, this will be aesthetic and artistic.

Memes revive culture from 10 years ago, young adults and teens revive culture from 20 years ago, and culture from 30 years ago is the mainstream.

We currently live in the era where the 2000s are popular on Tumblr, give it 2 more years, and we will be in the era of mid to late 2000s culture while the 90s nostalgia is in full swing.

My favourite Google Doodles, in no particular order

Alphonse Mucha's 150th Birthday, July 24, 2010

Mucha's work is organic, colorful, opulent and feminine. The flowy lines, interaction between different elements, and bright colors in this Doodle are a great interpretation of his work. It's beautiful as a Google Doodle and as a standalone work of art.

30th Anniversary of PAC-MAN, March 21, 2010

I remember playing this Doodle with my friends on the day it was posted, during a technology class in our high school sophomore year.

St. David's Day, 2021

Drawn by guest artist Elin Manon, who creates beautiful watercolor illustrations inspired by mythology and folklore. I love the intricate lines and the way he's layered the floral elements in the corners; they feel like the fairytale coming alive.

Mountain Day, 2020

This minimalist illustration evokes the peaceful prints of Japanese art. I love the pink-and-blue Mt. Fuji and the subtlety of the sky.

Gluck's 128th Birthday, 2023

The leaves and flowers of this one just pop out of the screen. I love the color choices.

Lunar New Year, 2023 (Multiple)

These intricate designs were actually paper cut-outs! I love the color palette and the level of details.
