Pelo RETROvisor: O lançamento do jogo Pac Man

from 80 WATTS · host SHI

21 de maio de 1980. Tóquio, Japão. Dentro de um fliperama que ficava em um complexo de cinemas no agitado bairro de Shibuya, uma nova máquina chama a atenção dos frequentadores. Na tela, ao invés de alienígenas tentando invadir o planeta, um labirinto escuro repleto de pequenos pontinhos destaca os pequenos fantasmas coloridos com seus enormes olhos azuis. Mas o que mais chamava a atenção é o personagem principal do jogo, um ser redondo de cor amarela cujo corpo se resumia a sua boca enorme. O que fazia sentido, já que sua razão de existir era apenas uma: comer todos os pontinhos e ao mesmo tempo evitar ser comido por um dos fantasmas. Este desafio aparentemente banal, conquistou os jovens japoneses de forma tão intensa, que em pouco tempo o jogo se espalhou para todo o país. Era o início de uma febre que cruzaria fronteiras e resistiria à passagem do tempo. O mundo dos videogames jamais seria o mesmo após a chegada do jogo PacMan. Nesta edição do Pelo RETROvisor!
