Pac Man Fever At Sully It is an addiction that can consume even the most virtuous maid. A pain that can only be soothed with the flashing lights and distorted sounds of destruction that computerized games render. This sickness is formally recognized as “Pac Man Fever” and it has reached epidemic pro¬ portions at Sul Ross. Symptoms of the disease include sweaty palms, bleary eyes, and an un¬ controllable urge to abscond loose quarters. The addiction process is subtle, a dollar is changed for quarters and the unknowing victim falls prey to the fleeting excitement. As each game is spent the quarter eater seems to tanti- lize us into trying again and again. There is little hope for retribution, for a “fe¬ ver” sufferer. Everywhere he turns he finds a computerized monster waiting to zap him into oblivion. They are found at the clubs, in restau¬ rants, stores, and even our very own Student Center. Pool tables are no longer the center of attrac¬ tion at the recreation areas, they are merely a place to wait out someone else’s income on the video machines. As we fight off Space Invaders, dodge Asteroids, and chase funny shaped ob¬ jects we are aware that our ship’s destruction is certain. We desperately attempt to accumulate as many points as possible. The more accom¬ plished individuals who continually reach high scores are the object of everyone’s admiration. While they are heroes one must understand that they are trapped. They love the machines but they also hate hate them. Their despair is that they just can’t stop. They have “Pac Man Fever”. Above: Michael Kurie checks the high scores registered on Berserk .
