#6 Pac-Man
Developer: Capcom
Released: 1980
Revenue: $4.47 billion
Probably the most iconic and beloved arcade game ever, Pac-Man has had many iterations over the years, but arguably none have been able to improve upon the sheer, simplistic brilliance of the original game. There were an estimated 30 million people that played Pac-Man in the U.S alone in 1982, at the height of its popularity. Pac-Man was featured prominently in Adam Sandler’s 2015 film Pixels, along with Space Invaders and several other classic arcade games. Pac-Man’s creator Toru Iwatani was a character in the film (played by Denis Akiyama), while Iwatani himself made a cameo appearance.
