Close to the 30-year birthday in 2010 of PAC-MAN, NANCO has released the latest PAC-MAN hit "dot-chompin" PAC-MAN
Championship Edition for iPhone and mobile phones.
Legendary game creator, Toru Iwatani, the mastermind behind the
original PAC-MAN game, helped design PAC-MAN Championship Edition for
its original release on Xbox Live Arcade. Namco has replicated this
experience, bringing detailed graphics and visual effects directly to
the player's hands.
The description warns, "Beware! The higher your score, the faster the speed!"
"PAC-MAN is adored worldwide and we wanted to begin his birthday year
strongly," said Kenji Hisatsune, President, CEO & COO of Namco Networks.
"We sought to bring him to multiple devices allowing enjoyment for all."
PAC-MAN Championship Edition features:
-
Up to six different game modes making gameplay fast and challenging
(mobile). -
Facebook
integration to share scores and achievements with friends in an
online global leaderboard (mobile). - Twelve in-game trophies for completing various tasks (mobile).
- Four control types tailored to Apple's devices (iPhone and iPod touch).

PAC-MAN Championship Edition, which is just the beginning of the many
PAC-MAN products that will be launching in the upcoming 30th
anniversary, will also be available across all major U.S. mobile
carriers through this holiday season.
