I love pac man.

I think its because it, and space invaders, where the first video games I ever played. Most old arcade games I tire of quickly but those 2 I could just play and play all day long.

My first video game was Pong on the original Atari console back in 1979?. What a game. Two vertical lines and a twisty knob to control them with a square bouncing back and forth. Almost 30 years later and topspin isn't really that different.

I like pacman, space invaders, asteroids and so on. Plus they are simple games for kids to get to grips with with no swearing, blood and so on. Great stuff

I'd like splatterhouse, shinobi, robocop, captain commando and afterburner too please MS

The Original Atari came with 'COMBAT' so that would have been your first game on the Atari ? in 1977 ?

Didnt you have the Binatone TV master for PONG ? Orange/Black console

My first gaming was definitely in '79 and definitely PONG. In '77 I was still gobsmacked by the incredibleness that was a digital watch with red numbers and you had to press a button to see them.

People pay thousands of pounds for Nostalgia
a couple of quid to have Pacman on the slick Xbox 360 interface is nothing.

Having now downloaded and played PacMan I no longer feel the need to buy it
