ollie Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Apparently you can unlock Ms. Pacman if you play long enough. You control her and Pacman at the same time. Craaazy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Did anyone ever own one of these? I still have mine, but one of the side stickers is slightly damaged. I got one for my 12th birthday. I remember we were moving to NFLD and I spent my b-day on a train somehwere between Montreal & NS playing it. Great memories. My younger brother had Frogger.

Northern Wish Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 My little bro got the Frogger version too. I guess the big kids got the premier games.The strange things I remember about playing this game is that the little joystick was so small that your hand would seize up and eventually just got completely numb up after about 3 or 4 games.And that there was no way to change or mute the volume. I'm sure my mom remembers that.Also the 4 D battery power supply was pretty funny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prost Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I turned on my computer, opened google and walked away from it while it loaded up. Then I heard these old school noises and I thought that I got a virus. As it turned out it was only pac-man. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I love to put technology into perspective by looking back to around 1982 and point out that Google's doodle banner is way more fun and way better than the home version of Pacman for the Atari 2600.HL2p2ANFlQ4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Last week, the Google logo was turned into a game of Pac-Man and we all took breaks to play. In theory, we wasted a combined 4,819,352 hours and many, many dollars. Here's the math.The Rescue Time Blog made these calculations based on observations and assumptions about the Google audience:This weekend, we took a hard look at Pac-Man D-Day and compared it with previous Fridays (before and after Google's recent redesign) and found some noticeable differences. We took a random subset of our users (about 11,000 people spending about 3 million seconds on Google that day) The average user spent 36 seconds MORE on Google.com on Friday. [...]If we take Wolfram Alpha at its word, Google had about 504,703,000 unique visitors on May 23. If we assume that our userbase is representative, that means:■Google Pac-Man consumed 4,819,352 hours of time (beyond the 33.6m daily man hours of attention that Google Search gets in a given day)■$120,483,800 is the dollar tally, If the average Google user has a COST of $25/hr (note that cost is 1.3 – 2.0 X pay rate).■For that same cost, you could hire all 19,835 google employees, from Larry and Sergey down to their janitors, and get 6 weeks of their time. Imagine what you could build with that army of man power.■$298,803,988 is the dollar tally if all of the Pac-Man players had an approximate cost of the average Google employee.
