In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Pac-Man, here's the opening and first story on PM Magazine Chicago on WFLD Channel 32 - which includes the story "Pac-Mania Invades Chicago". A neat shot of Mother's Pinball (was it later called Mother's Arcade?) in Mount Prospect at the beginning.
Features Mike Leiderman and Jo Ann Williams as hosts.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, October 13th 1981.

I started playing Pac-Man on the Atari 5200, then on PS1, PS2 and on the arcade emulator. My best score was 63,440 points. Comment posted by ChitownTVFan on Saturday, May 22nd 2010 at 9:30pm.
As Fozzie Bear would say, "Wakka Wakka Wakka." :)

I didn't play much Pac-Man; I didn't have the patience to push the kids out of my way. My brother, who was six at the time, loved it. Nevertheless, it started a revolution in gaming. Comment posted by HUdson 3-2700 on Sunday, May 23rd 2010 at 9:51am.
In honor of Pac-Man's birthday I had to play "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner & Garcia. :-) Comment posted by Smctopia on Sunday, May 23rd 2010 at 12:09pm.
RIP, Chef Tell. Are Mike Leiderman and/or Joanne Williams still around? My parents actually met Mike at a party in November 1983. He signed an autograph book I had. I've lost track of the book, but I remember he wrote:
"I'm glad you enjoyed PM Magazine! It was nice meeting your mom and dad. Best wishes, Mike Leiderman." Comment posted by 70s80s on Monday, May 24th 2010 at 10:33am.
70s80s - Mike Leiderman (note spelling) is on Facebook. He's a really nice guy. Comment posted by FuzzyMemories on Monday, May 24th 2010 at 11:32am.
