I played Ms. Pacman so much it left a permanent maze stuck on my television,
even when it was turned off; My Mom didn't care for that so much.. Thank God
TV's have better screens now or my son would have a serious problem with
that 360..LOL

Hi Dark,
Depends on what console you were playing it on. The original Packman
home version was designed for the Atari 2600. They later produced
sequals like Mrs. Packman and Packman Jr. for the Atari 7800 series
consoles. As it happens they also released a new 2600 console, before
they went out of business, with slightly newer/updated versions of
their 2600 series games. One of those was of course Packman. Since
then there have been several clones and retro remakes of Packman
designed by a number of companies for every operating system and
console you can imagine. So the little yellow guy is very much a
classic that continues to get passed on from generation to generation.

Interestingly enough though, while I remember playing packman at the age
of
3 or 4 on our old atari 2600, the colours and sfx were completely
different
from the arcade version, though the gameplay was exactly the same.
Sinse this would've been in 1985 and 86, I wonder if that was actually
the
original packman or a sequal, --- sinse I do remember it having features
such as the maze actually changing after a few levels.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
