By (author): Arjan Terpstra Tim Lapetino

This is a gorgeous, hardcover retrospective, the first-ever history of PAC-MAN. Full of historical imagery, concept designs, marketing photos and more, the book examines the game's design philosophy and origins through the artists, designers, developers, and other creative teams who brought PAC-MAN to life. This new non-fiction book will journey from creator Toru Iwatani's "pizza slice" inspiration to the game's incredible success in arcades and beyond. The book also dives into PAC-MAN's unprecedented impact on pop culture, with more than 40 new interviews from key players around the world. See more
