The term 'Classic Video Game' can be summarized by two of the most iconic games of all time: PONG and Pacman. PONG, released in 1972, is widely considered to be the first successful video game and was a simple two-dimensional tennis game. Pacman, released in 1980, was an arcade game featuring a yellow character that moved around a maze eating dots while avoiding four ghosts. Both games have been ported to numerous platforms and remain popular today.
