Which hand do you play Pac-Man with

[xertcev]

(on arcade games...)
On any game with a "fire" button I am much more comfortable with the joystick in my left hand.
But playing Pac-Man games I use my right hand for some reason.
And on games where you have the choice of right or left sided buttons, I will always choose the right

P.S. I am right handed

I use both hands, but i´m better with left hand

[zektor]

I must use the right hand. If I use my left I'll die in the first round

I was just thinking about this yesterday as I tried playing Pac-man with the left hand. I did as well as I would with my right, terrible! I usually use the joystick with my left hand and hit the fire button with my right hand. However, I typically use the joystick with my right hand when playing Pac-man or Ms. Pac-man.

Whoa... never noticed this until I read this thread... I play with my right hand! Bizarre.

Our Gameworks has a Ms. Pac Man / Galaga cocktail, meaning it's crunched up together pretty tightly under the glass.

While playing Ms. Pac Man, I go right handed because I corner awesomely with it.

With Galaga, though, the Galaga shuffle is a lot easier with the left hand. Odd.

All arcade joysticks = left hand for me

For pacman is use my left big toe.

Prefer the right hand, although I'm left-handed. I hate the fact that all of the (home, console) arcade sticks are set up with the buttons to the right.

[Mayhem]

I'm pretty much ambidextrous when it comes to games playing anyhows. I'm left handed naturally (writing, throwing) but do most tasks with my right side (using scissors, catching, kicking a ball etc). Hence arcades are more suited to me in general with the stick in my left hand and buttons on the right. But obviously for home computers the stick is in the right hand and the left thumb on the fire button. I'm equally comfortable in either config

I am more than right-handed, I'm right-bodied. Anything that demonstrates some kind of dominance or skill level for one side of the body, I always need the right side parts to do it. Kicking things. Playing games. Scissors. Someone wants to whisper in my ear, I'll turn my right ear toward them. I don't know why, but it's always been that way.

I play Pac-Man with my roight hand...in fact, every video game I play, I try to use my right hand...which I guess is opposite of most right-handed people...

I'm in the same boat as Borgora I guess...

I use my right hand for all arcade games,I have never tryed my left hand but I don't really want too.

[Gunstarhero]

Which hand do I "play Pac-Man with"? Is that a metaphor?

[nesman85]

[ehall]

With my right hand, but I'll use my left if I want to feel ike someone else is playing it.

Seriously, my right.l

Does it matter even if it is the answer would be the same.

Right.

[rbudrick]

I use my left nut.

I think I'm somewhat ambidextrous.. but when I think about it it, it's odd because I can't imagine playing a game like Galaga at the arcade with a joystick on my right and a fire button on my left (or at least it would feel odd). But I can play it no problem on my computer keyboard that way. .. Go figure
