Just wanted to share this "unique" addition to my NGP collection :D

So last week Mr. Toru Iwatani, the creator of Pacman, came to my city as a speaker in a game development congress. I had the chance to chat a while with him (was taking the pictures for a local journalist during an interview) and asked him to sign my NeoGeo Pocket Pacman.

It was a fun moment, he kept looking the insert asking himself which version of PacMan was that... in the end he saw the logo and said something like "Oh, NeoGeo! This is a rare version of Pacman" and then he added "Looks nice, but the ghost's eyes should be blue not black" and laughed pointing at the ghosts on the insert.

He dribbled a pacman on the cover too, super friendly and patient guy, the interview was really interesting.

I've been slowly building my NGP collection since I got it back when it was first released (still missing around 15 titles), love this little system and I was happy having this particular version of Pacman signed.

Cheers!
