I think that was the quote unless someone can correct me...


Okay, I'll correct you. It's from National Lampoon's Vacation

Russ: "Hey you got Pacman?"
Dale: "No."
Russ: "Uh, you got Space Invaders?"
Dale: "Nope."
Russ: "You got Asteroids?"
Dale: "No but my Dad does. Can't even sit on the toilet some days!"

and from the same flick, my favorite line:

Vicki: "I'm going steady. And I french kiss."
Audrey: "So everybody does that!"
Vicki: "Yeah but Daddy says I'm the best at it!"

If you ever catch the flick on TV on a regular network or basic cable the line is now "...but my teacher says I'm the best at it". Only the real uncut version on the pay cable channels uses "daddy says I'm best at it".

Arrg. I made a post with a long list of my favorite games, but got a server error when I tried to submit. Happens fairly often when I try to connect to AT.
 
In terms of money spent on it, PacMan. It's the only game I've ever had my initials on at a bunch of places.

Now, if I'd invested that money in Microsoft stock instead . . .
