40 years Pacman

Pacman is 40 years old. There are many online implementations. Here is an open source version from this code in the public domain:

A story in Washingtonpost:

His creator, Toru Iwatani, thinks of a 17th century haiku, when asked about the importance of audiences identifying 
with a fictional character, especially when said character's defining characteristics are simply being 
round and ravenous. The haiku, written by Matsuo Basho, translates to, "So tranquil is the area, that 
the sounds of cicadas seeps into the rocks."
"Varying images come up in everyone's mind when reading this haiku," Iwatani, 65, said in an interview with The Post. 
"Thinking and imagining the serenity of the scene in the haiku instills a sense of joy. People read novels while 
imagining the scene where the story is taking place. In a similar fashion, simplicity helps people to identify and 
imagine the character they're controlling."
For millions of others, "Pac-Man" was a cute and easy distraction from life's winding paths. For some, it was a 
reminder that life is a confusing labyrinth where we are either running from or chasing down our ghosts. 
In the end, all we can do is keep eating.

Pacman also appears in the movie (see Black mirror in the math in movies collection):
