Today is the 30th Anniversary of the arcade release of Canuckistan favourite Pac-Man. This classic game as first released on 22nd May, 1980 in Japan, and would probably be the most influential video game ever (Space Invaders also comes to mind). Many versions/spinoffs of Pac-Man have been released over the years, on nearly every video game system around.
Although I have never been very good at Pac-Man, it has always had a special place in my heart. Personally, I think it's very important for gamers to know and understand the history of gaming.
My favourite Pac-Man titles are Ms. Pac-Man, the original Pac-Man, and the amazing Pac-Man Championship edition being the best (in my opinion). All three of these versions are available on the Xbox 360 Marketplace.
Gaming is a massive part of my life, and Pac-Man is a big reason for that. I have symbolised this, with a tattoo...
Even after 30 years, Pac-Man is still relevant today. Head over to google.com to see their playable tribute to the yellow guy.
By looking at your photo, it looks like your pac man tattoo is only half completed? what happen to the other half?
