In the early 1970s, video arcade games sprung to life in the form of Pong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Pac-Man, and if you were lucky enough to have an Atari system you could play Frogger or Galaga at home. By the 1980s, arcade and video games were entrenched as a pop culture phenomenon and were ubiquitous. But as quickly as the form took flight it began to change with the advent of hand-held games and more sophisticated home-gaming. Brian Eddy here traces the evolution of arcade video games, giving readers an inside look at the stratospheric rise-and transformation-of the industry.
Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man evade the four ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Sue while coming home from the secret forest with their harvest of power pellets, but the ambitious ghosts decide to tunnel into Pac-Man's cellar to steal them.
