Part I.Pac is also very loyal to those he holds dear. He's always hungry and will let very few things stop him in the name of food. He's shown to be good-hearted, and humble in the way that he doesn't flaunt his famous title or background. Pac is observed to be a brave teenager, and his main goal is to help make the world a better place. He has also been referred to as chubby in the past by Blinky. When he was a baby, he had a single curl of hair on his head, wore the same gloves and wore a diaper. He wears red and white sneakers with a Pac-Man symbol on them and orange gloves. Pac has a yellow, completely round body and blue eyes. ![]() (It was later revealed that there were more Yellow Ones outside of the city Pac grew up in, during the episode New Girl in Town by Elli.) But his true destiny was revealed, that he could in fact eat ghosts and was amongst the few that could defeat the ghosts that came from the Nether Realm, with the help of the Power Berries. Of course he knew some of it, such as that his parents perished when he was young, and that he was amongst some of the only Yellow Ones left. This was when he was taken to President Spheros' office and told about his past and legacy. This lead to the first ever ghost attacks, likely ever. He accidentally stumbled across a portal to the Netherworld and opened it, leaving both his world and the Netherworld open to each other. Later that night, he was chased into the school's maze. When learning about the PacWorld wars, he was the only one in his class to admit to believing in ghosts. ![]() Pac, upon coming of age, attended a boarding school and met Cyli and Spiral along the way. He has little memory of them, indicating that he was incredibly young when they died. He was initially raised by his parents, until they supposedly perished due to fighting in the first PacWorld War. You know, without actually needing any quarters.Not much is known about Pac's early life. And we can only hope you find using Google at least a quarter as enjoyable as eating dots and chasing ghosts. There’s a light-hearted, human touch to both of them. They’re both deceptively straightforward, carefully hiding their complexity under the hood. PAC-MAN seems like a natural fit for the Google homepage. PAC-MAN joins the party and you can play together with someone else (PAC-MAN is controlled with arrow keys or by clicking on the maze, Ms. We also added a little easter egg: if you throw in another coin, Ms. Google doodler Ryan Germick and I made sure to include PAC-MAN’s original game logic, graphics and sounds, bring back ghosts’ individual personalities, and even recreate original bugs from this 1980’s masterpiece. To play the game, go to during the next 48 hours (because it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds. Today, on PAC-MAN’s 30th birthday, you can rediscover some of your 8-bit memories-or meet PAC-MAN for the first time-through our first-ever playable Google doodle. During the heyday of space shooters, Tōru Iwatani’s creation stood out as one of the first video games aimed at a broader audience, with a cute story of pizza-shaped character gobbling dots in a maze, colorful (literally!) characters, friendly design, very little violence and everlasting fun. One of my favorites was PAC-MAN, whose popularity transcended the geopolitical barriers of that time. Blinky is the fourth boss in Pac-Man World 2, as one of the ghosts who unintentionally released Spooky. For me, that meant summer trips through Poland’s coastal cities with their seasonal arcade parlors peeking inside cabinets to learn programming and engineering secrets and-of course-free games! When I was growing up, my dad had the best job I could possibly imagine: he was an arcade game and pinball technician. ![]()
