Every day in 2020, Tim @Lapetino is playing through 40 yrs of #PacMan—all the video games, memorabilia & media—to uncover the soul of this iconic video game.

@DailyPacMan @365ofpac I kinda miss these posts. It was nice hearing Lapetino talk about playing Pac-Man and getting his family in on it.

During the making of the Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon book, Tim Lapetino ran a Twitter account where - for the span of a year - he played and discussed all sorts of Pac-Man games throughout the franchise's history. You can see all of these tweets @365ofpac

Day 163: The Prof is in! Today I'm playing Professor Pac-Man, the 7th #PacMan arcade game release, this one created by Bally-Midway. Released in 1983, this is a quiz-like game, requiring players ("pupils") to answer a variety of visual skill questions. 3 games played, HS: 3,309.

@ZazelbyJ That is a great insight. I didn’t realize that!

Day 120: Accept no substitutes? A 1982 arcade operator with a broken #PacMan cabinet had options. Buy a brand new one? Or be tempted to replace damaged artwork with unlicensed repros? Companies like Wico & Willis Industries made $ creating aftermarket artwork of dubious legality.

@Resurrected2751 For sure. And you have them spread out over many years and iterations and they become even more diffuse.

Day 244: Rogue's Gallery. It's been said that a hero is only as good as his villains. But if that's true, Pac-Man might be in trouble. Lacking a true Darth Vader or Dr. Doom, Pac-Man has few epic, iconic adversaries. But still, here are my Top 5 Pac-Villains, in quality order:

@catiewilliamss Wow, for real? He must have been quite the video game player! But I guess that makes sense. Many people love(d) Pac-Man.

Day 227: Game Over? I don't joke about death, but apparently others do have fun with it, Pac-Man style. Mike Luther passed away in 2007, and his sister designed a gravestone in honor of his all-time favorite video game. This elaborate arcade memorial resides in Clio, Michigan.

@GregRozeboom Nice! I think we have a picture of this one in our Pac-Man book, Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon!

@GregRozeboom Well, great minds think alike! And related to Pac-Man, you’re probably aware that I didn’t stop there. After my 365 days of Pac, I went on to write the first history of Pac-Man with @Ranja72 : Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon amazon.com/dp/1789099390

Travis Pitts - The Madness of Mission 6 (2006) Former Threadless artist created this striking Pac-Man riff image that sort of became a meme and a mystery when the artist pulled down a lot of his web presence. There's a little narrative to the image that I'm posting below 1/

Day 161: It's on the table! Today I'm playing the Coleco #PacMan tabletop arcade game. This little thing of beauty was released in 1981, along with other popular arcade games. And in my circles, they were coveted objects, Christmas wish list items. 3 games played, HS: 1,030.

So I won an auction for possibly the rarest Pac-Man item I've ever seen. So rare that I can't find any information about it on the World Wide Web. It's 100% official and not some bootleg either. Super weird item. #PacMan #Retrogaming

Oh, look, @365ofpac. It's another Pac-Man item I forgot I had. No copyright date on the pen and if I kept the package it's hidden away in an unknown box. I'm thinking it might date back to the late '90s or early 2000s.

I suppose it's too late to tell @365ofpac about a Pac-Man reference in a DIFFERENT issue of MAD magazine.

@lapetino Really looking forward to it! 👀 And that slipcase is, as the 80s kids would say, radical! 👀

@Diamante_Loco @DouglasMccready Yep. Pushing the boundaries of tech while also making me motion sick! 😁 I covered this game earlier last year. Fascinating tech.
