Old School Favorite: Pacman

2009 Feb 24
Pacman is one of my personal favorite arcade game. Even today, I can still imagine myself playing some old school games, and i must admit i still miss them. Pacman, one of the games that does not seem to end. Difficulty increases while moving up a level. Relying on your perception and your keyboard typing skills can sometimes become frustrating. I still hear myself saying "Damn, this keyboard is defective." even though its not, just another alibi for not passing a level. Some other arcade games that i like were Digdug, Arkanoid, and Invaders.

These programs runs on my 80286 personal pc with that 180KB single sided - single density floppy diskette. You will be surprise how much technology has envolved since then. Today my Flash disk is able to hold 16GB of data that is almost 100% times more than the capacity of the early storage devices. Anyway, what am i talking about, im supposed to be talking pacman. here is a playable version here, got it somewhere on the net, i don't know where. You may download this swf copy if you want to play pacman offline; you will need an offline flash player to play pacman.

Thanks for this coolest post sharing with us.

Yes, it's amazing just a decade ago, we wouldn't imagine the type of games which we play today. It has not only evolved, it has evolved at a rapid pace. Now I can only guess how future games would like be, there are already great gadgets for sensing motions of our body into the game. Pacman is considered one of the best games but I never played it much though I know how to play it, I always played Dave game and it was my favorite in school time. I had it till few years but now lost it.

Columns on the old high school have jogged so many memories that here’s another one with things remembered about the old building on Main Street in Denison.

I rock at this game.. we should get a high score challenge going on here....

My younger brothers are very fond of these games and I feel frustration when I am unable to get my system from them.

The easier the games are, more people will likely to play it. Not only boys are playing, many girls are playing as well. Pacman is certainly a classic

Thanks for sharing this game. I remember back in 1980 this was the first video game that I was addicted to. Maybe because it was so easy to play and I knew all the patterns to use.

technology evolved very fast... I remember first time I bought 1GB harddisk... My PC became the best PC on the block..! Now I have 120GB but I still need more space..

Of course, this was my favorite game too, thank you...

Students would buy term papers about pacman, using the support the writing service. You definately will need use plagiarism checker. Now, you don’t have to worry about getting a failing mark simply because you have been accused of plagiarizing someone else’s work.

I agree with most. Some good points made.

pacman was my first ever game on the commodore computer.

Pacman will never die. Its about skill, and even the most skillful gamers in the world find it to be a challenge.

I'm a little to young for pacman but it looks like a fun game.

Classic game . I also likes space invaders , donkey kong , Tetris and my all time favorite Galaxian..

Pacman is a funny game ever.
