You found a great place to get help, make friends and BS. Pac-Man is a great starter game. Not only is it a solid classic (perhaps the most well know) but it is very well documented. If you have any kind of problem with it, it has most likely been described in detail with a reliable fix on the net somewhere. There is also probably someone here who has dealt with anything that you might encounter. Congrats on getting your first game and on it being the greatest one there is (IMHO). BTW, I've had mine for 8 years, Ms. Pac as well.
