Oh the joys of summer: BBQ’s, swimming pools and the squeals of victory when your son/daughter (or spouse) wins that last epic race in Mario Kart.
Old and young gamers rejoice because July 8th is Video Games Day — not to be confused with National Video Games Day, which occurs in September. In any case, you get two days to celebrate the art of video gaming. That’s like getting an extra life!
Studio66 is celebrating one of the most well-known and beloved video games of all time: Pac-man. This Japanese arcade game was created in 1980 by Namco. One interesting tid-bit about this addicting game is that it was known as Puck-man in Japan. It was released as “Pac-Man” in America because, well, American companies didn’t want the name being replaced with another, less-friendly word.
So gamers: sit back, relax, and get ready to give your fingers the work-out of their lives!
