Classic Video Games ; Monday ; Period 1

It was time to play some video games in the Danger Shop once again.

"Morning everyone," Riley greeted once everyone had arrived. "Today, we're gonna be playing another classic. Pac-Man was first developed as an arcade game by Namco way back in 1980. Immediately upon its release, it became hugely popular and, even now, it's pretty iconic. When people think of video games and video game characters, Pac-Man tends to be right at the top of that list. Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new genre and appealing to both genders. Pac-Man is often credited with being a landmark in video game history, and is among the most famous arcade games of all time. It is also one of the highest-grossing video games of all time, having generated more than $2.5 billion in quarters by the 1990s."

So, Pac-Man was a pretty damn big deal.

"The game is simple. You control Pac-Man through a maze and you go around eating pac-dots or pellets. Once you eat all the pellets, you advance onto the next level. Of course, it's not that easy because while you're eating the pellets, you have to avoid Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, the ghosts who are chasing you. If you're caught, you die and you lose a life and have to start over. So, let's try to avoid those guys while we play today."

The Danger Shop came alive and the arcade was in front of the students again. Time to play Pac-Man!

Oh, this was not going to go great at all. Karolina was still going to give it her best shot. But it'd end in a lot of game overs.

"... Darn."

Yeah, like that.

Billy was trying not to swear at the game every time he got eaten, but he ended up muttering under his breath far more than was probably necessary.
