I remember when Pong first came out. The local bowling alley had one. It was high tech back then.

I got Pac Man fever

Yes, that was another simple but lots of fun early video game. I still prefer many of these old games over the ridiculously complex ones of the past 15-20 years. My favorite games were from Intellivision. Atari also had many good ones.

Interesting.

. Not too long ago there was a man who took Pac-Man to the end of the program.

At a certain point, half of the screen goes blank so you cannot advance further.

So you can in theory "beat" Pac-Man, or at least call it a draw.

It’s sad news. I am a huge fan of this game. I love small games in general. Often play on http://www.friv5online.com/ . Pac man and Mario games are legends.
