Reblog with the year you've joined the PMATGA fandom. Bonus if you want to include your story of how you found out about PMATGA for the first time, too :)
For me it started in 2015, when season 2 was just around the corner. Back then, an old friend of mine introduced me to the games first.
Neither of us knew that the games were actually based off of a tv show, she just picked up the first game and liked it enough to show me. I remember we were both playing it at her house, genuinely enjoying it even though it wasn't the most fantastical or ground-breaking game. I got stuck somewhere at one of the first levels, where you had to fight the cyclops boss. Neither of us had any idea how to defeat the bugger, so I went and googled for the solution. That's how we both found out that the game had a tv show as well, with a second season slotted to come out in a few months. We checked it out, and the rest was history.
Been here since 2015 :)
I first knew a little bit about the show and the games when the PMATGA era was still relevant. But it wasn't until 2021 when I truly joined the fandom when I rediscovered the show/games and even did fanart of the Pac-Man characters.
And despite the negative reception this era received, I wish Namco at least reintroduces the Party and Ghostly Adventures characters in future Pac-Man games/media because characters like Spiral, Cylindria, and Betrayus can be even better characters with the direction of the World Re-Pac games and the upcoming Pac-Man: Snack Breaks animated series.
But at least Namco acknowledged the show and games.
