PIX'N LOVE #02: PAC-MAN

Bruno Rocca, Charles Parisot, Cyril Denis, Douglas Alves, Florent Gorges, Laurent Guillaume, Marc Pétronille, Nicolas Gilles, Sébastien Mirc, Steve Schneider, Thibaut Gauthier



 

The genesis of Pac-Man, one of the greatest hits in video game history. The story of the famous opened pizza that gave birth to the yellow hero, for example, has gone around the world. But there is still a lot to be said to understand how Namco's hero managed to impose himself in the early 1980s on an increasingly competitive market, until he became an planet-wide phenomenon. Through countless documents, the editorial staff of Pix'N Love have compiled this book, while providing new anecdotes found here and there in various forgotten documents...


Nintendo's famous Donkey Kong is also in the spotlight in an article looking back at its real creation. Far, far from the many rumors circulating, the author Florent Gorges highlights the real involvement of Nintendo in its design, but also that of Shigeru Miyamoto, whose role is perhaps not as remarkable as the tell the legend.
