Gary Garcia Of "Pac-Man Fever" Fame Passes Away

Gary Garcia, who helped bring gaming to the mainstream via music, passed away on Thursday at his home in Florida.

Before singing geeky songs about video games was cool, the duo Buckner and Garcia paved the way with "Pac-Man Fever" in the early '80s. That hit, along with several of the group's other songs, hit Rock Band 3 earlier this year.

Gary Garcia wasn't a game developer, but he was still an influential figure in video game history. Our condolences go out to those close to him. You can read some touching thoughts about Garcia from Jerry Buckner here.
