A one-of-a-kind, one-hit wonder, PAC-MAN FEVER is an album most 80's fans will enjoy. With songs written and based on the more popular arcade games of the same era, Buckner & Garcia put other tracks that are sure to make you tap your feet. Pac-Man Fever's catchy style and beat caught the heart of many PAC-MAN fans. And every song contains bits and pieces of the arcade game sounds and were placed perfectly in the tracks.

Better known is the album's title track which was played by radio stations across the nation. The rest of the tracks would be known only to those who have/had the album. The song tracks are as follows:


Side One
1. Pac-Man Fever
2. Froggy's Lament
3. Ode To Centipede
4. Do The Donkey Kong

Side Two
1. Hyperspace
2. The Defender
3. Mousetrap
4. Goin' Berzerk


If you are still living in the 80s and still play that PAC-MAN machine hiding in the corner of a local convenience store or arcade, then you owe it to yourself to get this collection of songs you will not find anywhere else or ever again. The album was released on LP & cassette. It was once mentioned that Buckner & Garcia was to release the collection on CD for a limited time and on-line only. However, I've never seen it on CD.

PARENT'S NOTE: If you are worried about the lyrics contained on this album...fear not. There's not a single explicit lyric in the whole album, these songs are about the games they were named after.

i can't stop shaking or hold down solid food. I walked to the bathroom and after just a few steps became light headed. Froggy's lament indeed!
