Gen X version:

(Had to cheat and put an arcade game for 1980, because I'm not aware of any notable console games from that year. In reality the console games from then looked much, much worse than Pac-Man)

Home console in 1980:

That's a good choice! Probably the most popular one of that year. I never had a 2600 and started with a 5200, so my knowledge of it is lacking.

Even as a millennial this is one of the first games I played (and I still love it). I dumped the ROM so I can play it forever.

My first game was pacman, on Atari 2600, that would have worked instead of the arcade version.

Came out in 1982, I was looking for a 1980 game. And boy, is that version notoriously awful!

That was 82!? And yeah, not great. Seemed awesome at the time though, being able to play on your own TV, without paying quarter!
