Offered here is a factory sealed edition of Apple II, Atarisoft Pac Man, Atari Video game from 1983. This game has not been opened and the box containing the game is in excellent condition as I am sure are the contents contained inside. Pac Man game development began in early 1979, directed by Toru Iwatani with a nine-man team. Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to women as well as men, because most video games of the time had themes of war or sports. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani has said he rounded out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi (Japanese). The in-game characters were made to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger players. The original Japanese title of Puck Man was derived from the Japanese phrase paku paku taberu, which refers to gobbling something up; but the title was changed to Pac-Man for the North American release in 1980.
