Pac-Man Meets the Minutemen: Video Games by Los Angeles Latino Youth
By Katynka Z. Martinez - Assistant Professor of Latina/Latino Studies at San Francisco State University
As someone who came of age in the mid-1980s, I am quite familiar with Pac-Man. The first time I played the game was at a neighborhood arcade called the Electric Planet. I still remember the song “Pac-Man Fever,” and the jingle that plays when Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man meet continues to hold a special place in my heart.
