Atari was the first commercial video game company with hits like "break out" and "pong". For many people, pong was the first video game they ever played. The idea of pong is that there are two rectangles that only move up and down and a small square that bounces around the screen until one of the rectangles misses, once the rectangle misses, the game is over. This game may seem simple now, but it sold 19,000 units, so you can say what you want, but at the time it was the greatest game ever. Finally "Pac-man" arrived, this is what "history1900.about.com" has to say. .On May 22, 1980, the Pac-Man video game was released in Japan, and in October of the same year, it was released in the United States. The yellow pie-shaped Pac-Man character, who travels through a maze trying to eat dots and avoid four evil ghosts, quickly became an icon of the '80s. To this day, Pac-Man remains one of the most popular video games in history. “To be honest, I still play “Pac-man” because it is so fun and addictive, even “classic video games page 18” says “Pac-man was played by so many people that it was quickly mastered and discovered that it had a technical problem" and as further proof the article "history of video games" says that Namco releases Pac-Man, the most popular arcade game of all time. Over 300,000 units are sold worldwide. In the United States alone United more than 100,000 units are sold. "Did you know that the name "Pac-man" is not his first? “The name “Pac-Man” continues the game's eating theme. Because in Japanese “puck-puck” (sometimes called “paku-paku”) is a word used for eating. So, in Japan, Namco named the Puck-Man video game. After all, it was a video game about a pizza eating super-powered cookies. However, when it came time to...... middle of paper ......xtreme jugg other games out of the water, this game might even have more sales than Black Ops Two. Look from waving a stick and pushing buttons to the textures, great features, great graphics and record breaking sales I think you saw how it went from simple to complex, these are not all the games, just the ones I thought were the best of both eras.
