Over the weekend we revisited the Ghetto Golf course at the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham. Last year the indoor Crazy Golf course became the 780th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Happy Birthday Pac-Man

Today is Pac-Man's 38th birthday!


Pac-Man was originally launched in Japan on the 22nd May 1980. His first appearance in the USA was on the 10th October.

The last place I saw Pac-Man was at Level in Preston while visiting the new Crazy Golf course there

I'm a big fan of Pac-Man and have seen him (and some of his clones) a fair bit on my travels.

Not Pac-Man
'Pac-Man' on a shop sign in Preston

Check out all the other Pac-Man related blog posts on the Ham & Egger Files. I think Credit Cruncher in Bristol is my favourite bootleg Pac-Man shop sign.
