Also, semi-funny story about Pac-man. Those of you familiar with card counting and its history may know of Ken Uston. One of the great card counting pioneers, and a very flamboyant gambler. Lived fast, died early, etc.

Anyways, when he first found out about this game, he played it for like 18 hours straight. He soon figured out a pattern for it, and wrote a book on it shortly thereafter. One of histories great gamblers was a video game nut/author.

Amazon.com book listing of it.

In roughly chronological order I lost countless hours of my youth to the following:

Track & Field
Hyper Sports
Kung Fu Master
Super Sprint
Space Harrier
Out Run

I'd probably pick Out Run as my favourite if pushed.
