LOL! Can't you include something like, "If you have some of these horrendous Pac-Man carts, and feel they need a new home, send them to 2001 x 2001 at the following address..." Meeting that guy would be pretty interesting (and is almost enough to make me think about going to LV). Is he favorable to the tongue-in-cheek description of Pac-Man? I actually think it's a nice game if you speed it up a little. Certainly a different game than the original from which the Atari version was loosely adpated. If 2600 Pac-Man were a clone, it'd be hard to make a case for copyright infringement. ;^D Anybody given any thought to making a 2600 version of Food Fight? Just hooked up the 7800 to the tube, and I'm addicted all over again...
