Your text was quite interesting (as it brings back a lot of fond memories for me when I used to play Pac-Man as a kid), with not a lot of mistakes and it is well organised but, overall, it's missing some "visual appeal" : you should have added a few more images and tried to alternate between information content and visual content !
