I don't remember my first encounter with the guy formerly known as Puck Man. I remember playing Pac-Man 2 for the SNES and there was the arcade version of either the original or Ms. Pac-Man in there. There was a cocktail version of the original at the local pizza place. That would've been circa 1994. I don't know if I would've played anything earlier than that. I know I never saw the stand-up version as a kid and wouldve been too small to play it anyways.

What are your earliest memories of Pac-Man?
