===Gaming=== In 1980, [[Namco]] released the now famous ''[[Pac-Man]]'', a yellow faced cartoon character. In 2008, the video game ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]'' used the yellow smiley as part of its branding for the game. The smiley appeared throughout the game and also on the cover. The smiley normally appeared on the side of a grenade, which is something that became synonymous with the ''Battlefield'' series.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Hands-on: Battlefield - Bad Company |url=https://www.wired.com/2008/02/hands-on-battle/ |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |date=28 February 2008 |access-date=9 April 2020 |archive-date=9 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809183752/https://www.wired.com/2008/02/hands-on-battle/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The 1987 [[Atari ST]] game ''[[MIDI Maze]]'', released on other platforms as ''Faceball 2000'', features round, yellow Smileys as enemies. When a player is eliminated, these enemies taunt the player with the phrase "[[Have a nice day]]." The Pokémon [[Ditto (Pokémon)|Ditto]] is based on the smiley face. [[Game Freak]]'s staff described Ditto as "the weirdest Pokémon" in the franchise.<ref name="ditto">{{cite magazine |first=Andy |last=Eddy |authorlink=Andy Eddy |magazine=@Gamer |quote=Andy toured the Game Freak offices, including the themed conference rooms—one of which is like a jungle.
