Yes indeedy, Pac-man is 30!
I have a strong memory of being at my friend's house, and her younger brother coming in and telling us a story about this game at (probably) Krogers. He explained it in detail. Weird to think about it now, having never heard of it before, never really seeing those kinds of games, even at the arcade at the county fair, and now it's an icon.
And, it's one of those games I never was any good at.
Still, Happy Birthday Pac-man! I credit you with helping to pave the way to the many console and computer games I've fallen in love with over the years!
