It's true! I saw him recently, in the flesh! (Well, sort of...) We were on a weekend road trip through New England. We had stopped in Putnam, CT to browse the antique stores and to grab a bite of lunch, and then we headed south. About 5 miles out of town, on a lonely back road, we came across a mini-golf course, and there he was, proudly playing obstacle for one of the holes!
Proof positive that Pac-Man is still king, even in the 90's!!!
(Shown here smaller than actual size... damn instant cameras. I swear though, it was him!)
