Pac-Man Was Inspired by Pizza
The idea came to me when Iwatani was eating pizza and noticed that the shape of a pizza with a slice removed resembled a character with an open mouth.
This simple but effective concept led to the creation of one of the most iconic and recognizable video games of all time, which remains popular decades after its original release in 1980.
