I Love the 80's: Pac-Man

We would like to thank Sanders_Sooners for all of their help in making this cache possible and their help with the game.

I can remember first seeing Pac-Man at a pizza place in Clarksville in the early 80's. There was one boy in our class who had learned some of the patterns to play the game for a long time and score a bunch of points. I think I even bought one of the books that was to teach you how to do that, but I never had the patience for it.

I also remember all the "Pac-Man" craze. They were making everything with "Pac-Man" on it and of course it spawned many other game sequels.

The main thing I will always remember about the Pac-Man craze was the song called "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner and Garcia. To his day I still remember the opening line, "I got a pocket full of quarters and I'm headed to the arcade..." and the chorus "Cause I got Pac-Man fever (Pac-Man fever) It's driving me crazy (Driving me crazy)".

Instructions:
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move Pacman. Gain points when Pacman eats the pills and avoid the muggle ghosts. The levels will become progressively more difficult as you advance in the game. Level 10 will provide a phrase. Enter it into the geo-checker to obtain the coordinates to the cache.
