4. One of the most excited times I can remember as a child
is when Pac Man came out for the Atari 2600. I must have been about 4 or 5. Ah, no more begging my mom for quarters to play it at the arcades or in the grocery store (yes all you younglings, grocery stores even had Pac man machines in them back then the game was so huge).

I got home, slapped the cartridge in the machine, and well, let's just say I had to wait awhile before I could play a decent version of it at home. LOL. Still played the hell out of the 2600 version.

Classic game, but totally surpassed by Ms. Pac Man one year later.
