Pac-Man

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Pac-man = Math

Pac-Man is an old-school arcade game famous for pioneering the vidya, being one of the only games one could play back in the long ago, and for turning a generation of kids into fat, lazy, unmotivated nerds.

It can be claimed that this game caused serious mental problems in a whole generation, but if that was true we would all be sitting in the dark chomping pills and listening to repetitive music...

...wait a minute...

[edit] Beginnings

To date, no game has been able to top Pac-Man's extraordinary graphics.

It became popular among heterosexual Japanese teens despite its homosexual premise. One year later, it was brought to the States. Americans went batshit over the dorky little yellow head. Numerous merchandise, including cereal, board games, and a TV show, left an indelible stain upon pop culture. Teens wasted their allowance on this arcade game even before they received it, completely forgetting about that Michael Jackson 8-track they've been pining for. In fact, Pac-Man is partially responsible for the decline in 8-track sales by the turn of the decade. That's good since cassettes pwn them anyway.

The Basic Game play was simple

1. Kill Ghosts
2. Eat pills
3. ????
4. Profit

[edit] Feminism Attacks

In 1981, feminists, high on estrogen and folk guitar, hijacked a truck delivering Pac-Man machines to hick towns (the last places in the U.S. to experience Pac-Man Fever), and used their l33t binary skills to re-write the code of the game to turn the male protagonist into a female. Word spread of this incident, as more and more feminists took the helm of the franchise. The new game, Ms. Pac-Man, was another huge sensation, even among men. This explains why bisexuality and hair metal became prominent during the 1980s. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man eventually got married and gave birth to a kid, PacMan Jr., but noone gave a shit about that.
