Being a avid game player - it would have to be early to mid 1980's when i recieved a Head shape Pac-Man console and power adapter to go with! I played that thing like crazy - I still have it and it still works like new (the original box is a bit worse for wear from storage but he game unit is in exceptional condition (even the adapter) and i even have 2 that are 2nd hand spare ones - these will surely one day be worth far more than they are currently at about $100 each.
I never let anyone else near it after one person hogged it until it's adapter was hot and i had to let it cool for hours before i could play on it.
These days i have the game on several formats so i rarely play any of the originals.
Why is it the best - because it was EXPENSIVE back then (almost equal to a new PlayStation or Xbox console these days) and we really couldn't afford it due to living arrangements/circumstances at the time, but one special family member scrounged and saved for months to get it for me.
Hours of fun was had on it and it was wonderful for the brain as well as hand/eye co-ordination. With practise i reached level 36 - which was actually quite hard to get to and keep but if you were quick and smart you'd end up with bonus lives and power-ups a plenty to help.
Sure beats about 2008 when i reconnected with my younger brother round christmas only for him to try to strangle me a couple years later mid year in a mental snap he had (I don't have him in my life anymore - who would after that!)
