Pac-Man 25th Anniversary

Honouring
the Game Which Changed the Way We Think "Pac-Man"
In honour of this outstanding game, Namco has
designed a Limited Edition Pac-Man 25th Anniversary
model. This game changed the way of the world for kids.
No other arcade game has been so popular for this length
of time. A true classic.
This
game features all three classic games: Pac-Man, Ms.
Pac-Man and Galaga. Gobble your way through Pac-Land. If
you want to see what a true phenomenon looks like
"I think there's a high nostalgia value with Pac Man
-- a lot more so than many classic characters," said
Sean Mylett, senior marketing manager for Namco. "I
think Pac Man is a game where people really remember
being younger and pumping quarters and quarters into
machines. ... Then there's another level with the 'Pac
Man World 3' character. He's an E-rated character. He's
very colorful, very safe. It's definitely different than
the trends going on in games. He just has an appeal."
In the late 1990s, Twin Galaxies, which tracks video
game world record scores, visited used game auctions and
counted how many times the average Pac Man machine had
been played. Based on those findings and the total
number of machines that were manufactured, the
organization said it believed the game had been played
more than 10 billion times in the 20th century.
So come have some fun. Pac-Man is here for all ages!
