I understand why this rewired the brains of '80s arcade-goers. A lot of genuinely very smart design makes this one of the few games this old that is continually fun to just pick up and play.
You know how a lot of classic games tend to get introduced with a qualifier of "this game was super influential but you kinda had to be there"? Pac-Man doesn't suffer from that in the slightest. It is fun now, decades upon decades later, for basically all the reasons it was fun when it was new.
