INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — It's National Pac-Man Day and the place to celebrate in Indy is at Tappers Arcade Bar in Fountain Square.
From its release in 1980 to the late 1990s, Namco made more than $2.5 billion off the game.
Thanks to clothing, lunch boxes and handheld Pac-Man games, Namco Corporation is currently valued at around $510 billion with.
Pac-Man-related goods have been a huge hit, and there was even a song dedicated to the game. "Pac-Man Fever" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March of 1982.
It's safe to say the game had a huge cultural impact on the 1980s. Now, you can even put Pac-Man in your home, with products like a mini Pac-Man machine sold at Target and a handheld Pac-Man game sold at Best Buy.
But if you'd rather embrace the nostalgia, Tappers has an original Pac-Man game open to play.
