Yesterday, October 23, 2015, meeting with Toru Iwatani at Milan Games Week.
![Ghost :ghost:](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/smiley_ghost.gif)
And, OF COURSE, I didn't miss the chance to have his autograph on my MICRO Puck-Man cabinet, which I made in about 2 days just for the occasion

My daughter now says "Ok, it's MINE !!!"
![Kiss :-*](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)
! She's almost nine years and she's a fan of Pac-Man

!
No less... one of the few games which has not aged at all after 35 years !
Ok, let's make you see...
First of all, some pics of my Micro-Cab W.I.P.

There's my old Nokia 6630 inside, with its (GREAT !!!) Symbian O.S.(S60), which I did modify in the past (2002) and set it with almost all what I need to :
> play : MAME, AtariVCS/2600 emulator, C=64 emulator, Gameboy, Sega MegaDrive... ScummVM (!!!)
![Cool 8)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
> browse the net : Opera and something else I don't remember... but the thing I remember well is that I had FREE browsing on the internet (and I mean the *real* internet, not that old crappy WAP
![Grin ;D](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
)
> sat nav : TomTom for S60 (hemm... not properly "original"...
![Wink ;)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
) with bluetooth antenna
... ok, it didn't make me any coffe, but I think it was
pretty enough ![Wink ;)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
!
Then, I spent some hour at my PC using my *OLD!* Ulead Photo Express (which I use since when I had Win98... and there was no time for me to learn to use PhotoShop... but, as I already said, it's
pretty enough, too
![Grin ;D](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
) to set some artworks which could fit on the micro cab
![Smiley :)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
!
Well, I think the result is good... and if not, it's
pretty enough ![Grin ;D](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
!

(on the right there's wife's wedding shoes box, which I "modified" just to make it perfectly suitable for safely carrying the cab...
![Grin ;D](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
)
And then... IWATANI !
Here he's at our GamesCollection(.it) stand, the only one where a person could find *REAL* videogames, not all that crappy next-gen of which the "GamesWeek" was full ! (visitor's average age = around 17... and the rest of us, all around 45, are already included in the count...
![Cry :'(](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

At the conference, in which Toru "made a sprinkling" of what was about the story of his never aged "Pakkuman"
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EopuBR0wCG0/ViupMfMRp4I/AAAAAAAAJMY/K48mvOtuPNc/s720-Ic42/20151023_175548.jpg)
And here it is !!!!!!!!!
Signin' my microcab with gold paint marker (and he didn't used it for no one else than me !!!!!!!!
![Cool 8)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
)
His expression was really "emblematic" at the sight of a Puck-Man cab, even in miniature !
Me : "All handmade and fully playable.. unfortunately the battery is completely discharged"
***(I had to wait 2 hours and half... and Nokia's battery is too aged... it do not resist more than 2 hours of standby
![oppps :oops:](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/icon_oops.gif)
" )***
He : "................................................"
ACH ! He don't speak a word in english... ONLY JAPANESE !!!
![Cry :'(](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
In fact he always needs an interpreter...
But, hey, he perfectly "got my message" and he was visibly pleased !!!

And... THE PICTURE !
(!!!!!!!!! ... I am 45 and he's 60, but I am more gray than him !!!!!!!!!!!!
![Cry :'(](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
but, as Indy said, "It's not the age, it's the MILEage..."

After all, we went to eat some pizzas and, of course...

And then .... the evening ended (1:00 am) at Vernimark Arcade !
