Who is your favorite video game character?
Submitted by Korgoth.
Luuved Ms. PacMan! She was gangster with hers, an OG Player. She hung out with those ghosts when Mr. PacMan was away... Ate whatever she wanted including dots, large dots, pretzels, fruit, slow-moving blue ghosts and still got with her man during the intermissions... Mustve kept the weight off by running through all the mazes on each screen...
This game came out in 1981... I switched over from PacMan, learned the "The Pattern" and never looked back. The store owners got to rip us off and us kids got to have a non-violent, group activity without our parents around. And it was a group activity. In the Bronx, in the early 1980s, we did EVERYTHING in large groups, play video games, play music on Boom Boxes, go to the movies, date. Now, with the Ipod, PS2, XBox, DVD, Netflicks and Internet Dating, kids now do everything in their rooms alone. In fact, in many major cities, including New York, large groups of kids are discouraged from doing anything in large groups. Anytime more than three of them gather in a group, the Police show up... even if they are just riding the subway to school.
Back in 1981, if you had told me that in the future, my telephone, my video games, my music and my movies would all fit in my backpack leaving room for my computer (see the 1980 version of the Apple PC)...
...I woulda told you to get off that Crack! ((shaking head, shrugging shoulders))
