Re: "I'm curious: How did you come to be a Pac-Man fan? @..."
@skyjake I'm a child of the 80s so Atari was a big part of my childhood. As was the cartoon. But I rarely got to go to an arcade except maybe for a little while if we went to a mall that had one.
My fandom was revitalized a few years back when the "Barcade" thing started picking up. I went to a barcade with some coworkers who all went to the newer games. I wanted to play the classic games I didn't get to play much as a kid. One of those games was Ms. Pac-Man which I loved and my fandom has taken off since then.
I definitely remember Doom and was a big PC gamer in my teen years in the 90s.

I'm curious: How did you come to be a Pac-Man fan? @sirwilburthefirst As to myself, I do remember playing Ms. (Mrs?) Pac-Man on the PC in the early 90s, but the vintage game that really holds a special place in my heart is DOOM (1993), as it combined novel technical advances with me being an impressionable teenager.
