Pac-Man  (Japanese: パックマン Hepburn: Pakkuman), stylized in all capitals, is an arcade game designed by Toru Iwatani of Namco and first released in Japan as Puck Man in May 1980. Licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway Games, it was released in October 1980 when top arcade games were stark space shooters, such as Galaxian and Asteroids. Pac-Man established the conventions of the maze chase genre, and is considered one of the classics of the medium and an icon of 1980s popular culture.[1]

In Cabin Fever, Greg said that when he and Rowley were going to make a video game arcade for the Holiday Bazaar. They started off with Pac-Man because they thought it was pretty easy to make. In this game, the little character going around to eat pellets while getting chased by ghosts. In Greg's version, they were going to make the Pac-Man video game arcade made with cardboard while the Pac-Man and Ghosts made in crafts. Rowley will be inside the box to operate the ghosts glued to pencils, while the person who plays the character eating pellets will maneuvered Pac-Man from the outside with a popsicle stick.
