Happy Birthday, Pac Man!
Hard to believe it, but Pac Man is 25 years old. CNN Money has a nice retrospective article, looking at the legacy of Pac Man… from the national shortage of Yen coins in japan upon its release, to the upcoming Pac Man World 3. By the way, did you know that when you hit level 22, power pellets don’t change the ghosts anymore?
I remember playing Pacman for free in my godfather’s small arcade once. I got tired when I got to a level where the screen just went black for a few seconds. By then I thought to myself “ok, this is getting ridiculous” so I stopped.
