Ep. 55: Pac-Man

Author Tim Lapetino joins us to discuss his new book, Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon (amazon.com/Pac-Man-Birth-Icon-Arjan-Terpstra/d…). After so many years, why are there still stories to tell about Pac-Man? During a time when shooting aliens was the hot gameplay on the scene, we find out why this game, with such a different experience, had mass appeal. Tim takes us down the rabbit hole of what is just so fascinating about this iconic character, the legendary franchise, and its creator.
