1980's Newscasters Struggling To Explain Pac-Man
The gluttonous, pellet chomping ghost slayer known as Pac-Man has just celebrated his 34th birthday, and boy has he come a long way from the days of arcade mania and nightly news reporters claiming that arcades are corrupting the youth.
This hilarious collection of hard hitting journalistic exposés from 1982 was put together by victim of Pac-Man Fever Patrick Scott Patterson, and it's chock full of bold reporters attempting to describe what exactly is going on when you play a game of Pac-Man, and timely interviews showing some 80s youths getting their pellet gobblin' game on.
"Yellow creature gobbles dots while being pursued through maze by monsters" Sounds like Pac-Man to me!
