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.

Remember Pac-Man World? | Thursday, 10.17.24

Remember the original Pac-Man World 25 years ago? Originally, developed and published by Namco (now "Bandai Namco") it was released on October 15, 1999 in North America as a way to celebrate Pac-Man's 20th anniversary since the original arcade game (included in the game as a unlockable bonus) was released in 1980.

And, as of 2022, Now Production remastered the iconic 3D platformer from the ground up as "Pac-Man World Re-Pac", except it also includes post-launch DLC and a few tweaks to adjust any gameplay difficulty ranging from playing the game either on "easy", "normal", or on "hard". However, just like with Pac-Man Museum Plus, Ms. Pac-Man and several other established characters have either been removed or replaced entirely due to Bandai Namco's ongoing dispute with AtGames over the rights to Ms. Pac-Man herself. Plus, despite some belief, Pac-Man World Re-Pac isn't part of Bandai Namco's Encore series of remasters unlike a few games like Mr. Driller Drill Land ("Mr. Driller Encore" in Japan) and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series ("Kaze no Klonoa 1+2 Encore" in Japan) for example.

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! ^^

[brain-usurped-by-bug]

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. ❤

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.
