Shockingly amazing in graphics/animation, controls, simplicity, and sound effects/music on release. Pac-Man was a 'must play' for anyone who had a quarter. Initial thrill aside, it's a grind eating dots, dodging ghosts, chasing ghosts, and grabbing that bonus fruit. Cut-scenes were cool, providing a short form of entertaining story telling. Otherwise, no intro, plot, or ending. Great launching point for games to come, but wouldn't put in more than four quarters then or now.
