    Two Brothers Meditating Upon Questions of Pac-Man

    My brother, Fletch, and I were 8 and 6 years old, respectively, when Pac-Man debuted. As this IM conversation demonstrates, to this day we approach the game with the same wide-eyed curiosity and emotional maturity as we did in 1980.

    Tuesday, April 15
    10:01:53 AM Owen: hey, pac-man question: how big were the dots and the energizers, in pixels
    10:02:08 AM Fletch: You mean on the original video game screen?
    10:02:16 AM Owen: yeah, 2x2 for dots, and roughly 8x8 for the energizers?
    10:02:20 AM Fletch: i guess. I don't have bionic graphic measurement powers
    10:02:37 AM Owen: I'm trying to figure how big a shit Pac-Man would take after one board.
