explanation: One of the oldest video games. It consists to move a creature, called "Pacman" in a labyrinth so that he could swallow the maximum of points while avoiding encountering other monsters. Developed by Namco for its arcade machine (July 1980), a great number of similar games have appeared on the market with every kind of medium ( from arcade games to LSI panels by passing through personal computers) all the more since there had existed no law to protect intellectual properties at that time.
