Did anyone else have a Pac-Man theme growing up? If so i'd love to see a picture. This is a bad picture but the only one i have.
I had the rug, bedspread, curtains, sheets, everything you could buy and my mom made me a picture with the fabric in it...still have it hanging up. Thanks Mom!!!
My older sister got me into Atari when I was little and well every house I went to had one too....I still have those same cartridges and the 'Ace' joystick so I prefer to use for nostalgic purposes as opposed to putting the 2600 in my MAME set up.

My parents problem with me was StarWars. Just like in the movie Poltergeist. Posters, bed covers, die cast models etc. The only PacMan theme was the record and the Coleco LED game that ran off batteries.

Hell my bedroom looks like a kids room NOW. One of the benefits of being painfully single.
Honestly though I've just got all this crap from my childhood and nowhere to put it.... might as well throw it on the wall. There's an over-abundance of Mario posters in here atm... got them free with club Nintendo coins. I figure they don't sell them, so 20 years from now they might be worth 3 or 4 bucks. ;)

My parents were loath for me to redecorate my room into anything other than what my parents thought was a good decor. My Grandma and Uncle were in the same mindset so they used to get me a ton of useless ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for a boy.
However, from what I can recall and from what I still have now, I used to have Pacman socks (Knee high ???), boxes of the cereal (I used to hide and eat all the crappy marshmallows) that I assembled into a "fort", a Pacman shirt in that ridiculous 80's belly shirt* that no child today would be caught dead in. Underwear. I think I used to have a pillow case and tons of stickers I tried to use to decorate my room. All I have left now is the shirt and I'm not sure where that is anymore.
*All I can find of the shirt with my Search-Fu is this below (http://www.blogsouthwest.com/flashback-friday%E2%80%99s-fun-times-during-early-1980s-southwest-style/)

LOL..For some reason, I pictured "40-year old Virgin"
"Is that Steve Austin's boss?. Who HAS that?"
:laugh2:

Well, you could be painfully married. Enjoy your freedom. Anything I have goes into the furthest room in the back of the house, my cab is in the mud room.

I remember having the Pacman Fever album which also had songs like 'Froggy's Lament' and 'Do the Donkey Kong' on it. Funny stuff. :laugh:

HA..exactly. I have no room for anything, now that I am in an apartment. Thankfully Haruman offers a bartop for me.

I like bartops, but I wonder if an htpc/fight stick might be a better option? You see, I am never satisfied with what I have. If I were going that route, I would get the largest, lightest LED TV I could afford, put together the smallest SFF HTPC I could afford (love those ABEE cases), then put together a bad ass fight stick.
Just a thought.
