PAC-MAN is celebrating a major anniversary this year, and there are a whole bunch of promotional items rolling out for fans of the game.

PAC-MAN's 45th Anniversary

The iconic PAC-MAN video game turns 45 years old this year after making its debut in 1980.

According to pacman.com, the game, originally known as Puck Man, was first tested by crowds in Japan in May of that year before being widely released two months later.

By October, PAC-MAN had reached the U.S., where it became massively popular. According to pacman.com, the game sold more than 100,000 units in just a year.

That feat is even more impressive when you consider video games weren't as widely popular as they would be later in the mid-1980s.
