Happy birthday, Pac-Man!

Wocka wocka wocka wocka

On this day in 1979, a ravenous beast was released in Japan, devouring all that got in its way. No, not Godzilla: Pac-Man. It rapidly crossed the ocean to the US (a year later to the day, ironically) spawning multiple sequels, an animated Saturday morning show, and a top 40 single called "Pac-Man Fever" that I'm exceptionally embarassed to say that I owned.

Like all 80s culture, of course, it probably means that there's going to be a big screen movie...
