Obverse

The obverse design on the 1 Gram PAC-MAN 45th Anniversary Gold Bar brings the action of the original game to life. PAC-MAN appears in mid-chase, moving toward a ghost as if its the next stop in the maze. With its easy controls and fast pace, the game pulled players in right away and became a staple in arcades for decades.

Reverse

On the reverse of the bar, youll find a patterned backdrop filled with recognizable PAC-MAN imagery. The field includes dots, PAC-MAN characters, ghosts, and cherries, all arranged like a snapshot from the arcade screen. Classic gameplay touches such as the power pellets giving PAC-MAN a brief chance to flip the chase helped create a balance between pressure and reward.

History

PAC-MANs story started in Japan in May 1980, where it first appeared as Puck Man. Later that year, Midway Games introduced the North American version in October 1980. Designer Toru Iwatani developed PAC-MAN to stand apart from the space and combat titles common at the time, hoping to make something upbeat and friendly that would welcome a wider range of players.
