NABU Pac-Man Easter Egg

Another awesome piece of NABU history has been dropped by Leo Binkowski on his YouTube channel. Check out Leo’s video:

From Leo’s video description: NABU Marketing wouldn’t let the Games Programmers put their names in the credits like other companies, so we found clever ways we could demonstrate that we were the authors of the games.”

Such a common thing with developers back in the day. Marketing could be such a drag. Leo showed them!

According to Leo this Pac-Man easter egg is revealed by eating a specific dot last on the strawberry board.

Leo Binkowski was 18 years old when he wrote this Pac-Man port for the NABU, and Laura Schening was just 17. Amazing!
