Rob and Dave discuss Pac-Man on its 40th Anniversary. Originally released as an arcade machine in December of 1980, Pac-Man has managed to earn 14.1 billion dollars over its life-time. Pac-Man, himself, is one of the most recognizable brands in the entire world. Pac-Man, as a game, however, is incredibly simple. Why, then, is Pac-Man such a universally loved brand? And what about its design and programming set-it up to be universally loved by all? Oh, and does Pac-Man really take after a pizza with a few slices missing? They discuss this and more during this week's food-filled trip down Memory Card Lane.
