I used to love Pac Man. I think in 7th grade I spent about half of my mom's coin collection at the arcade playing Pac Man. They didn't give me an allowance... so I made my own.

I used to get to the "keys" in Pac Man which was the highest you could go. The smaller machines let you get to about 5-6 key levels where the bigger machines would be harder and I could only make it to about 1-2 keys.

We just bought a game at Wal-mart (yuck) for $19.00 that has pac man on it...you just plug it into the front of the tv. I will be a junkie again!!!

I think in 8th grade Donkey Kong came out....

 

I used to have one of the yellow portable pac-mans and used to love it. I was watching Magnum P.I. the other day and they had one in that episode which made me think of it. I gotta check and see if it's still in my parents attic.

We must be about the same age. I loved Pac Man, loved Donkey Kong even more, but my all time favorite was FROGGER!!! I even got both of my parents addicted. Pitfall was a little later, I think, and it was good, but not like the other three. Tell me more about this plug in game you got. I'm getting one today!

 

"5 classic games straight from the arcade" it is $19.00 from wal-mart (do they sell wall stuff there? - paris hilton) ...it has digdug, pac man, galaxian, rally-x and bosconian.......

The games are really really like they were at the arcade too....... I used to play DigDug about the same time...... I loved Donkey Kong, but I don't think I played too much Frogger...... I know I used to hate TRON......

In college we always played some professional wrestling game..."let's get it on" the annoucer would say before each match..... hacksaw jim dougan, that big fat cop guy with the billy stick, macho man, etc.....

I just made it through 6 levels of pac-man... if I could only remember those goofy patterns i could get farther.

HaHa! I forgot about Dig Dug! I think I sucked at that game.

Thanks. I'm on my way to Wal-Mart.

 

mario bros was the bomb. it was probably one of the the first games where you can collaborate with a partner to "succeed". my bro and i used to kick ass in that game. we would do "alley-oops" where one of us would knock the turtle, crab, etc. over while the other one kicks it off while it's still in the air...

 

i think I am too old for mario bro's.? I graduated college in 1991 and pretty much stopped playing video games.....now my kids are old enough to steal my coin collection now so I play once in a while.

I remember playing space invaders on Atari at my friend's houses..... that game was crazy..ahaha... blaaaa

 

Ah yes Atari. I remember playing space invaders, Asteroids, pac-man and missile command at my friends house with Van halen one going in the 8-track!

 

I forgot about 8 tracks.... right in the middle of the song....clunk... as it would move to the next #.....that was at least some real van halen back then...... david lee roth kicking like a cheerleader all over the place!

 

I still play it. I own an arcade Mrs. Pac Man.
