I haven't seen it all either, but I'm just sure it's better. ;)

That's one of the best shirts I've ever bought. I love when non-arcade people try to figure out what is going on in the shirt. The website that sells the shirt is Threadless and they often have video game inspired shirts created by artists that frequent the site. http://www.threadless.com/product/751/The_Madness_of_Mission_6

I guess I'm the square that doesn't get it. ???
The cheeks I get. The other one, not so much.

It's a pac man shirt.
The ghost in different colors.
Look at the helmet of the guy on the ground.
And he has pills scattered all around that he has been eating.

What's Pac Man?
Geez! It says "pac" right there in the picture! Thanks for the explanation. :cheers:
-
yup...
took me a little bit to get it...the atari logo was throwing me off...

So we now know the REAL TRUTH about Pacman! He was really just tripping off of too many pills and was tripping balls so much, he thought he saw ghosts chasing him! If my mother knew about this aspect of the game, I prolly wouldn't have been allowed to play it! (Then again, the first time my mother played a video game was super mario bros. on the NES (With all the magic mushroom and "other" inuendo in it). She started playing it right after I went to bed, and then looked up at the clock to see she had to go to work in 30 minutes.. No wonder why she vowed to never play a game again...

Didn't know if you saw the story behind the shirt..................... fact is stranger than fiction!
True story:
In 1976, Cosmonaut Nikolai Peckmann was sent alone to an orbiting space station for what would be called Mission Six- to study the radiation levels and strange circumstances that killed all four crewmen of the last research mission.
By the third day, Peckmann's broken transmissions were coming back to ground control filled with increasing paranoia and delusion. He claimed that the spirits of the dead cosmonauts were coming to claim him, and that he had to keep moving to evade them. He shouted that if he could capture consume these spirits himself while he still had strength, he could move to the next level of consciousness...Truly the rantings of an insane man.
Indeed, video recovered later would show Peckmann running around the confined but maze-like station, downing emergency sedatives like a madman....pausing in a corner momentarily, only to throw back vitamin pills and give chase to his invisible demons.
He had exhausted the entire cargo of vitamins, pills, and fresh fruit well ahead of schedule. There was no way another crew could be assembled to rescue him before he starved. After one rather violently garbled transmission, the static cleared and the last live image on record is that of Peckmann's empty, wilted spacesuit on the cabin floor.
It was determined that another mission to recover any remains or gather any more research would be a waste of the people's money, and the station was allowed to drift out of orbit and into space- a failure never to be mentioned again. It was ordered and assumed that all video and paper evidence had been destroyed.
..then, at the dawn of the eighties, a fledgling arcade game company called NAMCO would stumble across the transcripts of these events, and the rest -as they say- is history.
okay i just made all that crap up, but with or without a story, I hope it's a cool design.
Did he have you going for a minute? :laugh2:
