[citation][nom]TA152H[/nom]I hate to say it, but Pacman and its successors were the girly games at the time. As a guy, you really didn't want to play this game, or be seen playing it.It's kind of funny how even video games had that stigma. Defender, for example, was a "macho" game, in contrast to Pacman. I have no idea how these things are made up, but I do remember it existing.[/citation]
Yes, how do these happen?
From what I understand, Halo/CoD are for sissies, and Crysis Wars/Battlefield are macho.
Good job Google. You surprised millions and put a smile on our faces, even the ones who weren't even born when the game was made.
