Pac-Man Makes Guinness Book

Posted by Zonk on from the wakka-wakka-woot dept.

phresno writes "As a gaming icon, everybody loves Namco's Pac-Man. The arcade machine sold over 293,000 units in just eight years of its initial release and is fondly remembered even 25 years later. The success of Pac-Man has awarded it not only pop culture status, but a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Long live Pac-Man!"

  1. What record did Mr. Man set? by noidentity · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I guess Pac Man can confidently claim the record of eating the most power pellets.

    I mean, I for one was once running in the dark eating pills and listening to repetitive music...

  3. Where is the Guiness Record for Super Mario Bros 3 by Zangief · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Because is the most sold game ever. Not restrictions like "most sold console game", "most sold pc game", "fastest selling xbox game (halo 2)", but the absolutely best seller in video games.

    Super Mario Bros 3 deserves it!
