Even at 10 years old could see the flaws. Didn't really care though and spent many hours playing. I went to a friends for the weekend and he had the 5200 version. I suddenly didn't want to play my 2600 version. Ms. Pac Man however was great!

I recall getting this game and being pretty disappointed.
 
Ms. Pac-Man was a quantum leap by comparison.

Despite the fact that the original A2600 Pac-Man could have been better, I really enjoyed it as a kid in 1982 and further on in my childhood years. The highest score I achieved in this game was over 20,000 points. I knew a guy who was a friend of my dad's that got over 100,000 points in this version of the game. He said that the ghosts later turned into question marks and all that. It probably ran out of general memory and started glitching out. That happens sometimes when you get too far in a game with limited memory. I almost always beat out my friends and my dad in this version of Pac-Man. I could really fake out the ghosts. It was really fun. Ms. Pac-Man was much better than Pac-Man, for sure. I got good at that as well. I probably am out of practice now, but back then I was pretty good. Ah, the memories…
Thanks for letting me share. :O)

Thanks, Gianna. It has really been a long time. :O)

Well, for starters, I have been hanging around here since about 2014, I believe. So, it has been a while. Almost 1,300 posts later, I am still here. I am an avid collector of Atari games, VHS tapes and DVDs, a Mac-head since 1993, an animation buff, and avid learner of anything. Glad to have been here for the last six years or so. Thanks for having me. 🙂 

2014! That is a long time! I'm glad you are still here 😊

There is a woman who worked for Disney Animation for over 40 years. She is still alive and will be 110 in July, a supercentenarian. She is the world's oldest living animator and the oldest animator who has ever lived. She was born in 1910 in Maine. She remembers the old Alice comedies that Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks made, which were an experiment in live-action and animation together. She helped make them in the 1920s when she was a little girl, probably starring in them. Those cartoons themselves were made almost 100 years ago. She still animates, by the way, I believe. Amazing woman.

Also, I am one of a few people in the 21st Century that knew someone born in the 1800s. I know of only one person that was. My great-grandmother. She was born in 1893. She passed away at the age of 94 in 1987. That makes me feel unique. Thanks for letting me share. :O)

Hey, guys,
My foster father told me a story once years before he passed away. He knew someone that knew Napoleon Bonaparte. No, really.
He knew Napoleon Bonaparte.
But, before you get your hopes up…
This person with the unusual name was put into an orphanage as a baby. The people that worked there did not know what to name him. So, they named him (you guessed it) Napoleon Bonaparte. So, the person that knew him in a sense knew Napoleon Bonaparte.
Obviously, the original Napoleon died over 200 years ago. Fun fact, huh?

It is kind of interesting to ponder how all people that lived through historical events that seem recent are gone.  Time marches on. 
 

I had a great-grandmother who was born in 1898.  She died in her late 80's.

You're welcome, Gianna. They do in my area, anyway. I am sure that they would in your area, too.

"Puppacinos." That's pretty cool, Gianna. When I go with my friends out to the bank and restaurants, they bring their two dogs with. They get regular dog treats from the bank, but ice cream from Dairy Queen and Culver's, playfully called "pup cups." Those are free for the dogs at both locations. That is a pretty cool incentive. I like my friends' dogs. They are rescued dogs. One was homeless for a while, and the other was abused. He was taken from his original owner by police. They were fostered together and then they came to be with my friends. Fun pups, they are.

Cool. Seems like a good-natured dog. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I have a cat. Her name is Yoda. Originally, she was named Diamond. My landlord's son rescued her from a crack house and had her for a while. Eventually, I received her and I take care of her now. She is approximately 12-13 years of age and she is a Himalayan. Very fluffy cat, and nice to me. But, she is a little skittish around other people and can be territorial. I think that she was affected by the drug use in her old place. You can say that she was a rescued cat. Here she is. Thanks for letting me share. 🙂
