I was 13 when Pac-Man came out, but I thought games like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Bezerk were better.

I was 10 when it came out. Donkey Kong was my favorite back in the early-mid 80's :)

The game also underwent a name change. Pac Man's original name was Puck Man -- but a savvy executive at Bally/Midway, which distributed the game in the United States, had it changed on all machines, fearing what game room vandals would do with the original moniker.

:laugh:
