Toru Iwatani's maze-chase remains the most recognisable arcade game in history. Four AI ghosts, each with a distinct hunting personality; power pellets that flip the predator–prey dynamic for a few seconds. Designed to appeal to women and the non-shooter crowd, and reshaped the audience for video games.
