Happy 45th birthday, Pac-Man!
While a deeply influential title, Iwatani Tōru's masterpiece didn't come out in a vacuum! While the inspiration for Pac-Man himself is well-known, less often discussed is the inspiration for the ghosts, with Iwatani citing Obake no Q-Taro and Casper as inspirations!

Been rewatching Strong Bad Emails and remembered when I researched the history of Homestar for Wizard and the Bruiser and found the origin of Strong Bad’s name in Tag Team Wrestling, the NES American version of “The Big Pro Wrestling!,” where the player 2 team was called “Strong Bads”
