Let me be the first to ask...What?

As you can probably tell from the image, this was a Pac Man scratch-off game. You scratched off the little circles as if you were Pac Man going around the board. You got points for each white dot (1 point) as well as for each blue monster (10 points) and cherries (50 points). You continued until you got three red, orange, or pink monsters. The game card above scored me 95 points. :)

These were released by Fleer around 1983 or 1984, I believe (though it may have been earlier).

Ryan -

I think our confusion stems from the fact that the picture shows up as a one-pixel long vertical line on IE5. On my laptop (IE4, I think), it shows up as nothing at all!

I noticed you had width="" for the picture. Perhaps IE thinks this means width=0 or width=1? In any case, I loaded the picture just with the URL for the picture and it looked fine.

Oh Crap. :)

Sorry guys... it should be fixed now. I had done that with the intention of inserting the values before I uploaded it. And I don't use IE on my home machine, so I wouldn't have noticed... thanks, Terry.

Now that I can see it I have one question . . . What?

Yep, Ryan, I had those. I remember them for Frogger as well - just worked out the same way! If I can find those, I'll scan them, but don't hold your breath.

Great jogging of the ol' noggin. :)

I loved those cards. I remember when I was like 8 or 9 yrs old I had like a few hundred stickers and rub offs. I now have none and looking to find these 20 sum yr old stickers. :)
I think their were like 45 stickers in the set and each pack came with 3 stickers and 3 rub offs and nasty pink gum.

There's not a lot of information on the web about Pac-Man Stickers and Rub-Offs, so a couple of months ago I created a new web site dedicated to them. The site is:
