Pac-Man Released
On May 22, 1980, the game 'Pac-Man' was released. The yellow character who tries to eat dots and avoids ghosts quickly became a hit. Japanese game designer, Toru Iwatani invented the game of Pac-Man. He thought to make the the character the round shape when he was eating pizza, which made him think to make a character like this. The dots that Pac-Man eats were initially cookies. When the game was brought to the U.S., the cookie shape became just dots. In 1980, this game was released. -
Pac-Man 4
If I was alive in 1980 and saw Pac-Man released, I would tell everyone how successful the game will become. I would tell everyone that Pac-Man is not just another game that stays popular for a couple months. I guess you could say that Pac-Man was a time changer for the arcade-game world. It was different. Nobody had thought of a game so simple, but so impressive. -
Pac-Man 2
The creation of Pac-Man was very important. Pac-Man made the arcade company 'Namco' very popular. The game was unique and different because most games created around this time was all about killing and violence. Toru Iwatani, the creator of Pac-Man, changed this and wanted the game to be centered around eating. It was non-violent, and was different compared to other games. People liked this, and it became a big hit. The game still is one of the most famous today. -
Pac-Man 3
The game of Pac- Man was very competitive. People have been competing for high scores in this game. Some people have even played up to the 255th level. The arcade game is super addicting and that is another reason why Namco was so successful with their game. If you look at the game, Pac-Man looks like a pretty basic game. However, the game was also very different during the 1980s. Compared to black screens, Pac-Man was advanced. -

I would really enjoy being alive when the 100 year anniversary of Lady Liberty happened. I would celebrate in New York like all true Americans. Even when I look at pictures of this statue, it makes me feel great that I am an American. I would change nothing about this event. This is a very positive accomplishment that doesn't need to be changed. -

This event was important because it positively symbolizes our country with freedom and the United States democracy.
