Week 32: Pac-Man Fever: The Story Behind the Unlikely '80's Hit That Defined a World-Wide Craze by Jerry Buckner & Mike Stewart

Buckner celebrated the 40th anniversary of Pac-Man Fever early with the release of this book in both paperback and Kindle formats on 4 Nov 2019. 


His co-author, Stewart, played Moog on "Mousetrap" and "Going' Berzerk" on the original album and was the recording engineer and co-producer of the 1999 re-recorded CD. (Image from mikestewartpodcast.com.)


The book is fairly short and mainly made of anecdotes from Buckner & Garcia's Pac-Man Fever experience. But it was certainly a wild ride! It also contains links to PMF-related videos and, best of all, comes with free access to the Pac-Man Fever Vault! (Sorry, I forgot about that part when covering the Vault two weeks ago.)

You can buy it on Amazon or currently on eBay directly from Buckner for which you will also get a signed photo.
