Pac-Man
Ever since I was a small child, I was fairly obsessed with Pac-Man. Different people have different reasons for enjoying him, and I won't bore you with the details of my reasons. Once I became older and had disposable income, I started to dispose of it quite seriously on all the items I yearned for as a kid, but was never able to obtain. Now, decades later, I'm setting out to catalog and describe my collection, and this is my way of sharing it with the world. Most of these descriptions will remain fairly high level. This collection is by no means complete; there are a quite a few things that I'm missing, and there are a couple of things I didn't photograph due to them being strewn all around the house, but it's the most comprehensive collection that I'm aware of. These items are not necessarily grouped in any particular order, only by which items fit together in boxes or bags each time I moved.
10/15/21: Updated with some new pictures. Was losing track of my collection and ended up ordering doubles of some stuff, so I figured it was time to update this, primarily for myself so I didn't keep buying repeat items.
