More than just Pac-Man Throughout the year, ev- eryone has been in love with those cute little blue crea- tures called Smurfs. Smurfs, our favorite munching man, Pac-Man, and ET were all popular characters brought to us through video. As Lisa Moreland said, I think Smurfs are cute, but people overdo it. I like ET bet- ter because he has a unique personality ... he touches your heart more than cartoon characters. Another favorite past time of students is video games. Everyone has their minds on either Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Pitfall, Frogger or As- teroids. Seventh grader, Bubby Wright, said, I think video games are really neat. They're fun to play. I spend most of my spare time at the neighbors playing Pac-Man. One thing for sure, video games are here to say. ET and Smurfs are just passing fads, replaceable when Hollywood once again churns out new idols for teens. Top: Among the favorites of new characters on TV were the Smurfs.
