So i am watching a Scheser video, and the lady is explaining Pac-Man defense… She says “there used to be this video game, way back in the day with this little yellow guy” like idk who Pacman is… Is there anyone out there who has never seen or heard of Pacman before??? To get some educational value out of my post: Pac-man defense - hostile post-offer defense where the target makes counteroffer to acquire the acquirer… Much like when you eat the big white dot and all the ghosts turn blue and then you eat them. I forget what game that was…
CFAdreasm, how old are you?
not too old… 23
Stalla’s Ben Jones - “waga waga waga”
nom nom nom
omg, how can you not know what pacman is. unless you’re like raised from africa or like from some remote island. anyone raised in the 80s should know what that is… especially you, a 23 yr old.
I’ve seen the game but never played it myself. Hardly remembered that there was a -eat something then turn around and eat the ghost chasing you. Never been a fan of video games. Video games are not must know things unless it’s in the CFAI LOS. When I was young it was a Mario Brothers/Duck Hunting thing and Pacman was old old stuff. If you were born in the 80’s by the time you got to video games, it was pretty much over back then.
Play it now: http://www.webpacman.com/ and see if you calculate the final stock price after the synergies are captured

This game was in the market in early 80s. It is not strange that CFAdreasms has not tried it. In the game, the player will be eaten by other monsters unless he eats a pill, which allows the player to counter-attack other monster for some time. The name Pacman defence may be created by the finance people in that era. BTW, I just got the space invader installed in my pocket pc, as a leisure activities during long time studying. If any know where to get the Pacman for Windows Mobile 2003, please tell me.
what was it called before pacman came out? or was pacman named after the defense… creepy
But the point of this post was that everyone has heard of Pacman, hence why he is slagging the Schweser lady for explaining what Pacman is. How two of you read the original post and took it that this guy doesn’t know what Pacman is I have no idea. That is 100% the opposite of his point.
Because he formatted the question like Schweser does and leads you to the wrong ans. “Is there anyone out there who has never seen or heard of Pacman before???”
I remember that game too. I’ve spent many summer vacations playing Bomberman, Mario, Pacman, Contra etc on my Atari/Nintendo with my cousins and friends. Early 90s was fun.
I’m only sixteen, but CFA permitted me to take the exams while still in high school. What’s a 486 computer?
Well, how about the lesser used 80’s takeover defenses - Centipede Defense – Where the target company continues to add new divisions and acquire other companies until the target is too large to fit on the acquirer’s screen. Max Headroom Defense - The target’s IT department makes all computer files flicker and repeat itself in hyperactivity until the acquirer becomes to too frustrated to continue the takeover. Rubik Cube Defense - The target company shuffles their entire staff causing the acquirer to spend untold months trying to re-sort before completing the takeover. Thundercat’s Defense - The faster version of the Centipede defense. The target company calls out for all of its former spin offs, split offs and carve outs to form a goliath conglomerate that then acquires the acquiring company. Smurf Defense - Allowing a takeover to reach its final stages before enlisting a single shareholder to overcome their simple archetype (such as overcoming braininess by becoming strong) to halt the takeover and free the entrapped target company. Betamax Defense - The target company makes its superior operations inferior thereby distracting the acquiring company to target the inferior company that has better marketing. Donkey Kong Defense - Just throw barrels (or feces) at the acquiring company’s CEO.
Fantastic. Where have you been all my life?
gr8 stuff sandmannoir!
Sorry, I confused Thundercats with Voltron. God I feel old.
thanks carson for sticking up for me… i do know what pacman is… Sorry if my wording was confusing… and if the rubik cube defense comes up on the test, you will all be happy i posted such useless dribble…
