To my Mom and Dad who fed my Games That Go Bump in the Night—A classic 47
videogame addiction with an endless gamer’s guide to Halloween games
supply of cartridges (and accessories).
Also, to my mom who had a never
ending quest to obtain the family high Deep Thaw — by Chris Lion 49
Pac-Man score and who would
consistently panic when the Beetles
raced towards her in Lady Bug. To my
dad who could never quite get the hang
of any of the games but would play
anyway and be a good sport about it
when we blew him away at Warlords.
