"Eat-Eat", which is the slang-ish term for Pac-man over here), and Pickaxe Pete was released as a licensed game from a famous comedy tv show of the eighties.<br /><br />http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hSJ27NlGeyk/T3yWoFxiDBI/AAAAAAAAAYk/wfj0ZeMoDlA/s1600/didinaminaencantada.jpg<br /><br />tibyznoreply@blogger.com
