Pac-Man fever gripped the world in 1980, turning perfectly normal humans into ghost-dodging, pellet-chomping machines. Players dumped entire pockets of quarters into their local arcades, chasing high scores and digital glory... until they discovered their yellow friend had a complete meltdown at a certain point.
