That was actually a pretty amazing story of determination but where do people find time to focus on these things?

Then again, people waste endless hours on games like Everquest and World of Warcraft. Not saying I don’t love a good share of videogames, but seriously.

It always amuses me when I see a combined Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga arcade game, because it reminds me of my childhood, and how I was the Ms. Pac-Man master and my brother was the Galaga king in our family. Although I was never as good as Mr. Bardin, my next-door neighbor, I’d roll up 150K to 200K per game and have spectators watching me play at the laundromat.

I preferred Ms. PacMan to original PacMan because I thought it was easier to play. Am I wrong?

Pac-man is often paired with Galaga as a dual game machine.

On my first date with my husband, we came across a Galaga machine at the movie theatre. He casually mentioned that he was good at that game. I didn’t much respond but we went over to play. I whooped his butt! LOL

To this day we can’t pass a machine without him challenging me to a game. We play maybe 3-4 times a year.

I’m buying him an arcade style version of the game for his 40th b-day. :) But I’m still not going to let him win.

The best memories I had of playing Ms. Pac-Man was when I went to the dentist the crafty man that he was! I actually wanted to go! He would give kids a free play if they had a check up no no cavities….That was such a better incentive that sugar free candy and free floss
