Pac-Man is one of those games that no matter how many times it is released, how many collections we see, or how many consoles we already own it for, is always welcome. There is just something fresh about experiencing the game on a different platform, and the collections always make things even sweeter considered the bundled package it typically comes in.
Namco Bandai have now re-released a good grouping of the Pac in several forms, with the launch of Pac-Man Museum this week on the Playstation 3, Xbox Live, and Steam after quite the delay.
Here are some details of what to expect:
The iconic yellow PAC-MAN has led a long legacy of providing sensational arcade entertainment for multiple generations, and the eternal race through ghost and pellet-ridden mazes continues to this day. PAC-MAN MUSEUM features a comprehensive collection of nine classic PAC-MAN titles ranging from the early 1980’s retro games to newer smash-hits such as the critically acclaimed PAC-MAN® Championship Edition™* and PAC-MAN Battle Royale.
PAC-MAN Battle Royale brings the multiplayer madness from the arcades into living rooms as it debuts on consoles today for the very first time. The gameplay takes the classic PAC-MAN formula and turns it on its head as players compete against up to three friends with each player controlling a PAC-MAN character to frantically gobble up pac-dots, fruits and each other! Players will chomp their way through fast-paced maze action with the potential threat of both ghosts and opposing Pac-Men at every twist and turn to see who will be the last PAC-MAN standing.
Ms. Pac-Man is also available for free as a bonus to those who pick up the game at launch for a limited time, so grabbing this title soon is well advised. You can snag Pac-Man Museum for $19.99 (Ms. Pac-Man will be $4.99 after it gets a price), and enjoy another jolt of nostalgia today.
