[Strawman]

1. I have Pac Man Fever by Buckner & Garcia on my Ipod, so I'll play that n/t

2. By going home and playing my original hand held mini arcade version

I have one just like the one in the middle. Or I'll play my new version from Namco II that plugs into the tv. God, I am a child of the 80s :)

3. that's wierd

cause i very well remember playing pac-man in college 76-80 (in pool hall @ student center)... i think pac-man is a little older than 25... perhaps it's the drugs but that's what i remember... :shrug:

also note (within article):

In July of 1999, Florida resident and die-hard Pac-Man fan Billy Mitchell achieved the first perfect score in Pac-Man (3,333,360) after playing for six hours straight. He beat all 256 screens eating every dot, fruit, and ghost (all four ghosts were eaten with each power pellet) - using only one Pac-Man!

i mean i was a little druggie but hell my mind's not that off. i believe i remember playing starting in 77 when i was a sophmore...

the year my college football team won the national championship !!!

7. how is that conflicting?

1999? that site lists 1980 as the birthdate of the game as well: :shrug: and what were you doing all those drugs for in South Bend? wasn't the Big Guy enough of a high? :evilgrin:
