Oh, Jesus. If you think gaming humor is lame now, check out the deplorable state of the gaming union 24 years ago, when an entire joke book dedicated to Pac-Man was released upon the nation's snickering constabulary of cerebrally sub-normal ten year olds.

Believe it or not, this isn't just a throwaway joke article from a circa 1981 issue of Cracked magazine. This is a spread from the official 96 page Pac-Man joke book, Pac-Mania. Value on eBay today? 50 cents. Actual value in humor wrought? How much is not headbutting a pair of splayed scissors worth to you? Florian Eckhardt
