25 Best Selling Video Games Of All Time - Ranked

7. Pac-Man (2003)

Sales: 30 million (#10)

Verdict: Since Pac-Man's release for mobile platforms in the early 2000s, it's enjoyed a Tetris-like resurgence of sorts, once again becoming a sales juggernaut and reinforcing its iconic status with generations new and old.

By this point, the game's mechanics are so well-known that it's practically beyond reproach: who doesn't love a little a Pac-Man while they're on the train or lining up for something? From the iconic sound effects to one of gaming's most iconic foes in the ghosts chasing the titular character down, it's almost impossible not to be charmed by the game's devilish simplicity.
