My patience has paid off. I picked up my Pacman today.
A few weeks ago I was walking through the lobby of one our dorms (I work in IT at one of our local colleges) and I spot a lonely little Pacman all by himself. Of course, I wander over plug him in and switch him on. Powers up and...gibberish on the screen. So I start thinking, maybe this could be my first! I was holding out for a working machine but let's see what happens. I contacted the person in charge of the dorms and asked what they were going to do with their broken Pacman. I was honest and told them I didn't know much about repairing games but would like to give it a try. So, 3 weeks later I get an email that says go ahead and pick him up!
So, today the wife, our seven year old son and I make the 10 minute drive to my work and load up my new Pacman. Glad I brought the hand truck. I'll have to get an appliance truck if I'm going to keep doing this.
Now he is sitting on my front porch waiting for me to tackle whatever issues he has. My son and I can't wait. Thanks to everyone who gave me leads on games. Keep them coming!
