Atari snapped up the rights to bring the arcade hit home, and let down millions of fans with a sub-par conversion on Atari's most popular home system, the Atari 2600. However, they did produce a far better conversion for their home computer systems and the Atari 5200 (if you can overlook the controls.)  From there, Pac-Man has gone on to grace just about every system that has ever been manufactured in some form or another.

While Pac-Man's popularity has died down today in comparison to the early 80s, he is still a recognizable figure, and has appeared on just about every form of merchandising available.  His legacy continues on the latest generation platforms with ever expanding adventures, and while they capture the good natured quality of our little yellow hero, they can never outshine the accomplishment of the original game.

Actually, there's not much of a story at all.  Despite Pac-Man's popularity, an official explanation as to why Pac-Man had to run through a maze and gobble all of the dots and avoid the ghosts, has never been provided.  Feel free to make up your own.
