Eclectic Lee @eclecticlee.bsky.social · 8hThis arrived yesterday from an eBay seller. A version of the "Pac-Man Fever" 45 from the U.K. in a picture sleeve. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS SLEEVE BEFORE. As far as Google and Discogs are concerned, THIS DOESN'T EXIST! If you can prove otherwise, please do. 3428

Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong. 21188033850

Although I played earlier games, Pac-Man was certainly the 1st big step, but it was Donkey Kong that cemented it. I wrote about it years ago. home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg... 010
