from article:

"In the late 1990s, Twin Galaxies, which tracks video game world record scores, visited used game auctions and counted how many times the average Pac Man machine had been played. Based on those findings and the total number of machines that were manufactured, the organization said it believed the game had been played more than 10 billion times in the 20th century."

I've played it at least that many times all by myself. ;)

I spent much of a summer playing it at home after getting an Atari 1200XL computer and a Pac-Man cartridge.

I played it mostly on the C64. A version called "Munch Man" was the most arcade-accurate.
