    If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

      I think it is a reference to the first filmed “rage quit” by Ralph Baer which was in 1969 over an early table tennis game that then inspired Atari’s Pong.

            I mean, the irony that rage inspired pong does add to the hilarity of the hypocrisy, so still seems like a valuable addition.

    I bet that cabinet is packed to the gills with hardware and easily weighs 500 lbs.

    I got to play Pong on one of those original, first edition cabinets. A local museum has one of the originals. It’s really cool!
