The real question is, which one has spawned more sequels?

One way in which video games are better than movies: the sequels almost always outshine the originals.

I bet you didn't know the Japanese name of PacMan is HanglyMan.

Pac-Man of course. First discovered it in a sit-down two-player table version at Pizza Hut in Fairfield, IL in 1981. Now you know more about Johnny Storm than you ever cared to know.

Pac-Man for skill (ha!) and Donkey Kong for fun.

The title of this Ping reminds me of that short film "Mokey vs Robot".

I always was a fan of the Ms. PacMan game. It's funny that any arcade you go into in recent times will always have two classic games. Those games being Ms. PacMan and Galaga.

There's another game popular in arcades these days that is much less fun: try to find a game that still costs just $.25.
