Do you recognize the composer of the music you hear at the end of the video? 😀

Rampage on Atari ST 🌃 🦍 🚁 (1987)

It was so much fun destroying buildings and vehicles, eating people and various objects, and punching each other 💥

Especially with 3 players! 🕹️ 😀

What’s So Random About Ms. Pac-Man
I'm not going to say that famously Ms. Pac-Man is a more random game than Pac-Man, because who really knows things like that who isn't a hardcore gamenerd. But among hardcore game nerds, it's common knowledge. (If you didn't know, A. congrats on your coolness, and B

Pac-Man in Three Patterns
PacStrats on Youtube has a video that gives three patterns that will take a casual player all the way to the kill screen at level 256.

I say casual because this doesn't attempt to produce a "perfect" game, of 3,333,360 points. This is because it doesn't attempt to eat all four ghosts on every Energizer while that is possible. It actual

Cam’s Pac-Man Fun Page
From the linked page. Piranha is one of a whole category of Pac-Man bootlegs that try to obscure their origin.

I'm considering writing more on the subject of the male-gendered Pac, which I assume is a mere matter of social custom among the Pac-People since they have no genitalia or clothing. Pac-Man bootlegs, in particular, are bizar

Pac-Store Animations with “Pac-Marie”
If it's generally entertaining, I try to save game-related animations and cartoons for Sundays, but this is probably interesting more for how it illustrates how the Pac-Man propery is changing. Yes, it's another excuse to rant a bit about how Pac-Man's lore is changing under Namc

Newest addition to the collection is #SuperZaxxon by #Sega/ #BallyMidway for the #Commodore #C64.
This is one of the rarest cartridges for the C64 and it's been on my wishlist for very long.
Much to my surprise it came with a print magazine ad.
