Title: Happy birthday Pac-Man!
Post by: Todd H on June 14, 2005, 11:17:38 pm

For those that don't know, Pac-Man turns 25 this month.  I don't know about the rest of you, but Pac-Man was one of the first games that really got me interested in video games.  So here's to you ya!   :)

PacMan was the game that really turned arcade gaming into a brand, and opened the doors to a much wider audience. Before that it was all space themes and shooting.

I thought Space Games were in the arcade first. And PacMan was so revolutionary cause it was an actual character. Nevermind. Let's all annoy Namco and send the birthday cards to PacMan! Whooooo
