Spring of 1981. I took a bike ride with my brother to our town House of Pizza. We walked in, and I stood in amazement gawking at this tall yellow structure that was surrounded by kids older than me. It was Pac-Man. Intrigue engaged, obsession procured!
If I find a Frogger Table top that is reasonably priced, I'm grabbing it! Last year, I scored a Pac-Man and a Galaxian at different times for under $50 each!
I had a college professor 30 years ago who commuted from Saco, ME to Salem (MA) State College to teach history! Everyone thought he was nuts making such a commute, but that's dedication!
