Pac-Man for the Atari 800

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

I got a lot of Pac-Man gear at work. I have the "Funko" Pac-Man. Funko stuff is a rabbit hole I've successfully avoided, but they are getting real specific for nerds. Shit like "Drew Brees after he won the Super Bowl" and such. I think my IPs are the only ones they haven't made into dolls. But I got ze Pac-Man one and it's on my window sill at work.

I don't have a Pac-Man arcade game. Does this make me a fraud? Probably! The Ms. Pac-Man is not good enough!

I decided two and a half years ago that I needed the homebrew Atari 800 game. Long story short, after waiting that long, I bumped the thread and posted to Twitter and the creator ran another batch of carts. I have the game now and it is amazing. It looks arcade perfect:







I am probably gonna get another arcade game before the end of the year and I have been asking around for an original Pac-Man. I dunno, I know that Ms. is objectively the better game but there's something about the yellow cab I love.

Is the workplace really an appropriate place for whimsical, childish knick-knacks like a Pac-Man doll?

No, I try to hide him a bit by putting him behind my full-size gimp outfit.
