21 May 1980,

Launch of the Pac-Man video game in Japan. Namco's game quickly became a phenomenon and ended the hegemony of Space Invaders. Toru Iwatani designed the game and said the goal was to get video games to a wider audience, as until then men were almost the only ones who played video games.
