I believe it came out in the early 80's. From what I remember, you are a yellow creature that eats dots and are chased by ghosts. However, you can eat these larger dots and then be able to eat the ghosts. This all took place in a maze-like environment. Someone please help, I would like to see if I could get my hands on this game!

gfschn01, I'm not surprised you didn't know what that game was. It was one of the least popular games of the 80s and not too many people ever played it. It was so unpopular that most gamers of the 80s never even knew the name when it was mentioned. People would say "Pacman" and gamers would say "What????"

These days it is only ever remembered by a few die hard gamers who had nothing better to do in the 80s. I'm surprised anyone still wants to play that stupid game.

LOL Shakes....I was hesitant to post my response because I couldn't tell if it was a joke at first :) Makes me feel real old that some people actually might not know what Pacman was :D

Thanks for the game advice though ;)

And you're right, the older we get I'm almost certain somebody will eventually ask what that game was with the yellow guy eating dots.
