An iconic book in its own right. A thoroughly researched, deftly written and beautifully designed compendium. File under graphic (and character) design history and pop culture, in addition to video games.
Highly recommended.

If you love not only Pac Man, but Namco and the classic video games that stood with them, this is an absolute must read. Amazing pictures in beautiful colour and awesome text to accompany.
The best money I’ve ever spent.
