Game time: Pac-Man turns 40

Game time: Pac-Man turns 40

  Forty years ago, a new video game featuring a bright yellow, dot-chomping, ghost-dodging character called Pac-Man appeared in Tokyo. It would become the most successful arcade game of all time.

Game time: Pac-Man turns 40

The hero—shaped like a mouth opening and closing—races around a maze noisily gobbling dots and occasionally fruit for extra points, all the while avoiding four cunning ghosts…

Natchez, beloved jazz steamboat of New Orleans, turns 40

NEW ORLEANS – Clarke C. “Doc” Hawley was there as the captain barking out orders on a megaphone 40 years ago when the Natchez steamboat first launched its maiden voyage on April 13, 1975. “I thought, hell, this would be the first boat I’d work on with primer and one coat of paint,” the 79-year-old river captain said. “Now the Natchez has 40 coats of paint!” The Natchez, which celebrates its 40th anniversary on Monday, is only one of three steam-powered boats left in the Mississippi River valley. “The Natchez is about the last of the steamboats,” said Chris Rieder, a 71-year-old Mississippi captain and pilot instructor with the New Orleans-Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association. Year-round the elegant steamboat sits moored in front of the bustling French Quarter, a short walk from the beignets and coffee of the Cafe du Monde and the banana trees of Jackson Square. Its decks take throngs of passengers each day for two-hour trips up and down the harbor. “It’s just a one-of-a-kind thing, running a true steamboat in the Port of New Orleans with a busy harbor, showing people the Mississippi River,” said Donald Houghton, the current captain on the Natchez. He stood outside the pilot house on a recent trip, the river swollen from spring flooding. “The whole reason the city is here is because of the Mississippi River and steamboats.” Below, the boat’s watchman is on the loudspeakers, pointing out landmarks. At this point in the tour, the halfway point, the Natchez is about to turn around having passed the Domino sugar refinery, one of the nation’s largest, and gotten a view of the Chalmette battlefield where Gen. Jackson defeated the British 200 years ago at the Battle of New Orleans. A ride on the Natchez and a visit to its 85-year-old U.S. Natchez, beloved jazz steamboat of New Orleans, turns 40

PHOTOS: Woman turns 40, had no man…and decided to marry herself

Yasmin Eleby from Houston, Texas promised herself when she was much younger that if she hit 40 and wasn’t married, she would marry herself. And so when she hit 40 recently and wasn’t married and didn’t even have a man, she kept that promise to herself. Yasmin threw herself a full wedding, complete with a candlelit ceremony.

She had her mum walk her down the aisle, and had her sister who is a…

Happy Birthday, Mr. Mathers

Slim Shady turns 40 today.

Woah.

Remember the days of sneaking off with the explicit version of the Slim Shady LP and marveling at how nasty the lyrics were was while listening to My Name Is on repeat? Me neither, but I'm sure tons of people did it.

And that was before he even became Eminem. Before the Real Slim Shady. Before Stan, Cleanin' Out My Closet, 8 Mile, Lose Yourself, Mockingbird and over a decade before this commerical. Hell it was before the iPod, YouTube, hybrid cars and smartphones. And if that doesn't make you feel old, think about this: Hailie - his infant daughter - just turned 16. BOOM proms, licenses & physics class. 

Happy Birthday, Eminem
