When I was a kid, I lived to play Pac-Man. Not enough to get a Pac-Man tattoo (at left, yikes!), but certainly enough to get sore wrists and challenge my brother enough that he would turn our friendly Pac-Man competition into a career with Game Stop. This weekend Pac-Man turns 30, so in honor I’m going to the mall and playing a couple rounds. Did you know that when on May 22, 1980, Japanese company Namco Bandai released the game in Japan it was called Puck-Man. The title was rejected in the United States because some worried that the “P” would chip off the cabinet and look like an “F.” Only in America, friends, only in America.
