I downloaded Angry Birds for my HP Touchpad not too long ago. It's just a game to me. I don't really understand the phenomenon.

Pacman's merchandise was way cooler though.

I agree. I have yet to see Angry Birds soup. When that happens, perhaps they have reached Pac-Man Fever levels.

i like that pic in the OP.

@vaporman87

i'd be sold if they had angry birds spaghettios. they did it for sonic, so why not that?

Blasphemy! Nothing will ever beat Pacman fever!

Pac-Man was more than a hit game. It was a genuine cultural inflection point. Everywhere you looked, there was Pac-Man: On boxes of breakfast cereal, on television, even on the radio. It marked the first time a particular videogame and its iconography became as culturally relevant as a hit TV show or movie.

It also arguably marked the beginning of Japan’s impending pop-cultural invasion of the rest of the world, even if players at the time didn’t know where it came from.

So yeah, Pac-Man is 35 years old today.

I have these glasses. The tumbler has the maze on the other side. The stein has the same design on both sides.



This is the one I really want, but I haven't been able to find it:

Nice mugs. I had glasses similar to the one on the right (with no handle). Though the image was a bit different.

Totally not impressed. I think they are putting this out a little late as well.
