And Google is going all out for it, if you haven't known about it : And here is some great facts of the 30th Birthday of Google : The 30th Anniversary of the old school video game Pac-Man is on Saturday.

In American the original title was to be "Puck-Man" but game makers thought teens would vandalize the machines to change the first letter to F. - The sound effect "paku-paku" is a Japanese onomatopoeic for the sound effect of opening and closing the mouth in succession.

While the engine is set up primarily for fighting game development, several other game types have been developed using it, including shooter and platform style games. Officially, Elecbyte claims to have forgotten what the acronym M.U.G.E.N stood for, but the readme documentation states that its meaning referred to the days when the engine was meant to emulate shooting games as opposed to fighting games.
