This is the thirty-fourth post in our Game of the Day series.

User submission:
Pacman was one of the early games available on the original Atari game system. I equate it with memories of roller skating to "Pacman Fever" at the skating rink; with being able to turn the game over (1 million), and with getting the ghosts stuck in the tunnel with only one dot left at or around level 60 so I could eat supper after school. My mother used to make me let my brother play several games to my one because I was so good that he would never get to play if she didn't. Pacman was my favorite video game.


What's funny is I was considering writing about Pacman on the Atari 2600 (not to be confused with the much more popular, and less derided, Arcade version). It holds a special place in my heart as the only Atari cart we owned for quite a long time. I think we only got more cartridges from friends when they starting getting their NES.

Other people submitted this game as their nostalgic treat as well:

i spent alot of time playing it with my brothers and sisters as a child.


Succinct, but it gets the message across.

I remember Pac Man the most vividly, though it's not my overall favorite game, because it was the very first video game I ever played/owned! My parents got it, along with an Atari games system, when I was a little girl! I still remember riding to the Best Products store to get it!


See, girls play games too!

Hmm, I don't remember when we got the Atari with Pac-man and for what occasion.
