5/22/1980 is officially Pac-Man’s birthday. I thought I would celebrate him this year. Seems like it was yesterday going to the amusement show, playing the game, placing the order, waiting for the games to arrive… Those were the days! Space Invaders, Asteroids, then along came Pac-Man. Back then you bring a new game into the arcade, everybody crowds around, quarters lined the glass, solid play to closing. But this game changed things in the arcade, it brought in something extra, the guys had to stand aside for the women to play. The game was later reinvented and turned into Ms. Pac-Man so they had a game for them. Anyways, happy birthday Pac-Man, and thanks for all those memories!
