Paging Buckner & Garcia

While driving into work this morning, I was listening to my copy of Pac-Man Fever, rockin' my inner geek with some cheesy '80s pop music.

After a while, I realize that it's been 25 years (plus a few months) since the album was first released in 1982.

And then I wondered, "Wouldn't it be cool (in an unabashed geeky way) if someone were to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Pac-Man Fever with a follow-up album?"

Well, I'm no musician, but here's my list of titles for a proposed imaginary sequel to the world-famous classic. In keeping with the spirit of the original, I've chosen titles with just a dose of cheesiness, while reflecting the most popular and influential video-gaming trends of today:

Make it so, Buckner & Garcia! It's not like you guys have much to do at the moment...

(It's also worth noting that, aside from Guitar Hero, the only family-friendly titles in the list consist of Nintendo properties. If I were in the mood for social analysis, I'd make a comment about how narrowly focused the "hardcore" video-game audience has become -- but it's easier to just let the numbers speak for themselves...)
