Facebook Pac Man: $10 to Play.. What?
Posted by: software on: 18 Aug, 2009
So playing Pac Man on Facebook twice could buy you the entire Namco Museum. . . Ouch! The original Pac Man ran on a 3Mhz computer and used only 24KB of storage. First of all, the sheer size of the application tells us how far we’ve come in wasting computing resources.
Namco, what were you thinking? Secondly, after playing 10 minutes, you’ll have to pay $10. The Facebook version uses 34MB and a 1000Mhz+ processor. Namco jumps in Facebook games with Pac Man and Dig Dug, two arcade classics.
