For my birthday. My awesome husband got it for me! He'd thought it was backordered until April, but then he went to Cleveland and stopped in the AG store there. Not sure if he bought it there, or only placed an order, but in any case, for my birthday, I got steak, cake, tequila and Pac-Man!

I'm only a few years older than Courtney. Pac-Man was a big deal when I was in sixth grade, and I think most people in my generation still have a soft spot for it. I keep wondering what became of Brian B., in my class, who cleared all the screens when most of us were struggling to finish one?

Anyway, I'm playing it now, and letting people who come to the house play it, and it is so fun! I have to handle the joystick more delicately than with a real machine, not because it's fragile, but because it's so easy to overshoot the mark. And everyone says "Ooh, it goes wakka-wakka-wakka just like the real thing!"

One thing to remember for anyone thinking of getting this: The instructions are bare-bones, just how to set it up, but no hint on whether I can adjust the difficulty level or save my high scores. I'll google and see if anyone has figured those things out. But I'm just so glad that for once, I'm one of the first people to have the Cool New Thing!
