The video game market is a billion dollar industry. The popular game consoles like the ps3 are now offering some of the old school games like Pac Man and Galactica. This market just continues to grow and the games are getting more advanced as the years go by. Does anyone remember Pong? Now that was the game back in the day and we use to play that for hours as kids. Pong was the best thing in town; until Pac Man came along. Now Pac Man was the bomb and that still remains one of the most played video games of all time. Ms. Pac Man was a little bit better than the original Pac Man, but it’s all called Pac Man when the subject is brought up. I remember a couple of local restaurants that had Pac Man and I would love going to those places as a kid. The song “Pac Man Fever” was a perfect song for the time. The line that says “I’m headed to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters” was so true. Every time I would see a quarter as a kid, I would think to myself “that’s enough for a game of Pac Man”.The arcade style games are now starting to become more popular as parents of the kids are wanting to join in on the fun.
