I'm surprised this classic game got left out of the mix.

I was never a fan of Red X.

Man, such great memories. I had every game console that was sold, and I played the hell out of them all.

I can't even begin to comprehend the sheer numbers of quarters I spent at the local arcades on the coin-ops.

Okay, I'm feeling really old now.

It's great when you can control the paddles with one in each hand. I remember spending hours playing that way, when no one was around, LOL.

LOL! I remember hearing some of those screams after one of those bug-eyed twerps would shoot me from out of the shadows.

I was a camp counselor back in '79-'80. In Arts & Crafts period (or "farts & craps" period as it was affectionately referred to by some campers), 90% of the artwork revolved around Pacman. OK, there were some drawings of Mrs. Pacman by the girls.

Wow! A drawing of Pacman. How original!

I hope every here knows about MAME. It now emulates *thousands* of classic arcade games. The ROMS are pretty easy to get with Bittorrent.
