- (Posted 13:29 Central Time - 06/09/06) - Last year was a huge Shazam! of Pac-Man news thanks in large part to his 25th birthday. Alas, it's a slow year. Yet, news is still out there. I guess to tie in with the whole Superman Returns fever hittin' North America, Super Pac-Man has been resurrected. First off, Super Pac-Man is now available for cell phones. Check it out at Namco Games. Next up is a brand new Super Pac-Man, Jakks TV Games stick which is slowly arriving out in stores. Games included are the original "Pac-Man", the Midway half-assed sequel "Pac-Man Plus" and the odd yet cool Namco sequel "Pac & Pal". Finaly the golden sequel, the only other Pac-Man game that creator Toru Iwatani did is included, "Super Pac-Man". I love Super Pac-Man. I love playin' my Gameboy Color edition of it. I'm all full of giggles and joy that this Pac-Classic is finaly gettin' released once again. So yo, grap yo self a copy and witness as Super Pac-Man Returns!
- (Posted 14:16 Central Time - 04/10/06) - Happy Easter Homies! Well this site hasn't been updated in sometime. Why you may ask? Because there ain't shit going on with Pac-Man. Besides the future release of Pac-Man World Rally, there ain't nothin' coming down the Pac-Line for our main man. So here's a little somethin'. What appears to be one of the final GBA Pac-Man released titles, Pac-Man World 2 was a worthy successor to Full Fat's excellent Pac-Man World port. The shit about PMW2 is that it's PASSWORD SAVED as opposed to having a dedicated BATTERY SAVE SLOT. I hate PASSWORDS, they suck. So here you go! The PASSWORDS for DSI Games and Full Fat's Pac-Man World 2. Enjoy!

- Here's a great article on modern boxing sensation Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao. Enjoy!
- (Posted 17:31 Central Time - 01/15/06) Happy New Year! Looks like if you live in Ohio you can play a little Pac-Man Mania lottery. Check it out here. We've been hearing about a Pac-Man feature film forever. Well it looks like it's becoming closer and closer to reality. Screenwriters Hal Haberman and Gil Kenan are finishing the scipt up. Okay, to all involved with this flick... Please make it a CGI-PIXAR flick. Get it? We don't need a friggin' Street Fighter or Super Mario Bros. movie here. Okay!?! Make it a full blown animated CGI flick with that PIXAR quality. Shit... Get Pixar involved with it! I'm serious. To all those making the movie, play PAC-MAN WORLD 3. There ya go, that's an interactive PIXAR movie if there ever was one. Oh well, if it ends up being complete crap which is a 99% possibility... I'll just animate my own film and I'm friggin' serious about that.
- (Posted 13:34 Central Time - 12/06/05) Here's a sweet nostalgic story from a Pac-Fan here.
- (Posted 13:22 Central Time - 12/06/05) When you play Pac-Man, it gets you so pumped up that you wanna smash some crap up! When you listen to some Pac-Music, you wanna beat the crap outta some dude. Well this ain't funny or cool, at a recent Lil' Flip concert some crap did happen. Flip was jammin' his Pac-Man single "Game Over" onstage when a man and woman got shot. Luckily, they're alive and okay. Read about it here and a warning to you young Pac-Kids, there a few graphic images. Brothers, I know playin' and listening to Pac-Man gets you all cruncked and jazzed and fizzed but yo like the big'N's(Namco's) Pac-Man World 3 ad campaign says, "It's your world, eat it!". Ya eat it, don't shoot it up.
- (Posted 12:54 Central Time - 12/06/05) Greetings Pac-Maniacs! I haven't written a friggin' word on the old Pac in a month. I feel shame... I must buy some kinda Pac-Product to redeem myself. First, with the news. Game Developmer Magazine's December issue cover feature is Pac-Man. Within it's pages is an interview with Toru "God" Iwatani plus other exciting articles. Pac-Man World 3 for the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PC is shipping out now, so expect them in stores within a couple of days. If you're looking for a kick ass, cheap Christmas gift for someone you love or for yourself ;) then I recommend the new JAKKS TV Games Ms.Pac-Man/Namco GameKey TV Games bundle. It features Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Mappy, Galaga and Xevious. The two included gamekeys (black and orange) add an additional 5 titles. The orange gamekey features Dig Dug and New Rally-X. The black gamekey includes Pac-Man (finaly with arcade accurate sounds!), Rally-X and Bosconian. The unit also features the ability to save high-scores and the arcade re-creations are more impressive than past "TV Plug & Play" units. So yeah, pick it up. you can find it for about $25 bucks anywhere. So yo, Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's to all you out there! Remember to purchase the unit that includes both gamekeys for a total of 10 Namco arcade classics!
- (Posted 17:43 Central Time - 11/07/05) MGA Entertainment has a bunch of cool Pac-Man games out!

- (Posted 10:04 Central Time - 10/30/05) What's this? Pac-Man World Rally! Sweet! Namco is no stranger to kart rally games having worked with Nintendo on the arcade game Mario Kart GP. That title is going to hit arcades in North America soon. Pac-Man World Rally will be available for the GameCube, PS2, X-Box, PC and PSP early 2006. Check out this month's issue of The Official X-Box Magazine for a playable demo of Pac-Man World 3 and I gotta tell ya, it's a hell of alot of fun! Damn this game looks great. It's not a graphic smasher like Resident Evil 4, but it sure does look fantastic with all that happy Pac-Man goodness! This demo is fun stuff so check it out! Pac-Man World 3 will be hitting all home consoles and the PC mid-November with the handheld PSP and DS ports mid-December. Go Pac-Man! Go!
- Posted 15:38 Central Time - 10/16/05 IGN just posted a couple of videos of Pac-Man World 3 for the Nintendo DS which can be viewed here. I can't wait for this baby! It's lookin' pretty sweet! Pac-Man World 3 will be hitting 5 systems in total. The Nintendo GameCube, Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft X-Box, Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Damn!
- Posted 15:13 Central Time - 10/14/05 Holy crap! It actualy exists! Pac-Man World 3 is being developed by Human Soft who worked on the sweet Pac-Man Pinball Advance GBA game. Based off of the console game currently in development by Namco and Blitz Games, the Nintendo DS version of Pac-Man World 3 is shaping up to be a pretty special version of Pac's 25th anniversary adventure. Also in development is Super Pac-Man Pinball for the Nintendo DS by newly formed Zen Studios. Pac-Man World 2 for the GBA was just released on store shelves. It's a 2-D port of the classic Pac adventure, featuring beautiful graphics and animation. Jakks TV Games has just released a wireless version of the Ms. Pac-Man TV games which features 7 NAMCO classics alongside a "GameKey" version which includes the same 7 games featuring Jakks GameKey. The GameKey is a mini-cartridge which plugs into the back of the TV game controller and adds new games to the mix. Consider it the future of the TV plug and play phenominum. Wow! I'm tired now. Plenty of more Pac news coming soon!
- Posted 15:32 Central Time - 09/04/05 What the crunk are ya doin'? Yo' Lil' Flip and Sony BMG Music! Trying to mess with the Man? Well then big daddy Namco is gonna bust a cap in yo' azz! Lil' flip's album "U Gotta Feel Me" contains a track entitled "Game Over". In it are a heaven of non-stop Pac-Man arcade sounds. Ya, the track rocks! The problem is that Sony didn't pay Namco for the rights to use these beloved sound bites and thus a court battle was about to begin. Alas, Sony settled the lawsuit with Namco and peace remains in Pac-Land. Hmmm... Namco should use the song for Pac-Man World 3. Just a good'ole gangster rap track with f-bombs droppin' and Pac-Man smilin' away. Sweet!
- Posted 14:24 Central Time - 08/29/05 Again, poor Pac-Man... I've neglected the poor little guy for a month. We'll atleast with this website. You see there is tons of new and old Pac-Man games that have been just released. The NAMCO MUSEUM BATTLE COLLECTION for the PSP was released last week alongside the Nintendo DS epic PAC'N ROLL! So go get'em! This week, the NAMCO MUSEUM 50th ANNIVERSARY collection hits the GameCube, X-Box, PS2 and GameBoy ADvance.
- Now looking in the crystal ball, Namco ain't done yet. PAC-MAN WORLD 3 hits the GameCube, X-Box, PS2, PC and PSP at the beginning of November. SUPER PAC-MAN PINBALL will also hit the DS around the same time. DSI Games who handled the solid GBA port of the Playstation classic Pac-Man World will follow it with PAC-MAN WORLD 2. The GBA cart was just released in Europe and should arrive on North American shores soon. Also it appears that PAC-MAN WORLD 3 will hit the DS in the future in some fashion as well. Go Pac-Man! Go!
- Posted 13:07 Central Time - 07/14/05 Poor Pac-Man, can't he ever great a break. Tennessee Titans Adam "Pac-Man" Jones got busted for various shenanigans. Read about it here.
- Posted 13:16 Central Time - 07/13/05 Here ya go kids. A new article by yours truly. Help! I Need Pac-Man! A Mini-Guide Obtaining Your Favouite Maze Game. Enjoy!
- Posted 18:33 Central Time - 06/08/05 Here's a couple of bitchin' news stories for ya. First we gots Pac-Man Chomps Into record Books. Second, we gots Human Version of Pac-Man Developed. The news just dosen't stop for our little yellow friend, dosen't it?
- Posted 11:37 Central Time - 05/10/05 CNN just posted an article celebrating Pac's 25th Birthday. Here's the article in case the link disappears like Blinky gettin' chomped
- Posted 16:45 Central Time - 05/08/05 Pac'N Roll is scheduled for a summer release. The big news is that the original Pac-Man arcade game will be included with it in "emulated" form. Cool!
- Posted 12:22 Central Time - 05/07/05 Bandia is purchasing Namco for 1.7 billion dollars. Holy crap! That's alot of change.
- Posted 15:38 Central Time - 05/01/05 The Atari 2600 was the first console to offer a home port of Pac-Man for fans way back in 1980. Sadly the port was crap thanks to its very limiting 4k ROM space. Why only 4k you ask? Cause they were cheap bastards! Atari would remedy the situation with a mamoth 16k ROM for Ms. Pac-Man. Just announced at ATARI is a brand new Atari Flashback 2.0 plug and play unit for your TV. It's designed off the original Atari 2600 and will include 40 classic games. I'd crap my pants "if" the Namco arcade ports are included. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! The Atari 2600 would be blessed with the arcade game ports Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Galaxian and Pole Position. "If" they are to be included with the new plug and play unit, it would kick real ass.
- Posted 9:44 Central Time - 04/28/05) NAMCO MUSEUM 50TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (I know I mentioned it below but this is an update baby!) has been announced and will include 14 classic Namco titles including Pac-Man (duh), Ms. Pac-Man (double duh), Rolling Thunder (cool!), Rally-X (Sweet!) and Sky Kid (holy crap!). The compiliation will hit the GC, PS2 and X-Box in August. A GBA version is in the works. Only 5 titles will hit the portable featuring Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug and Rally-X.
- Posted 12:50 Central Time - 04/27/05) Just got PAC-PIX! The explosive Pac Title is now out in North America! Pac is bustin' Caps!
- Posted 10:15 Central Time - 04/27/05) Here is couple of links to the Japanese PAC 'N ROLL and PAC-PIX sites. There are screenshots and wallpapers for ya to download from there until the North American site finaly gets updated with the Pac fun.
- Posted 20:21 Central Time - 04/25/05) The Tennessee Titans gobble up Adam 'Pacman' Jones of West Virginia. The former cornerback became the 1st defensive player taken in the NFL Draft. Hey, it's Pac-Man news. He's a football palyer with the coolest nickname in the world. Word on that.
- (Posted 11:49 Central Time - 04/25/05) PAC-PIX begins shipping tomorrow in North America! Awsome! This is gonna be da'bomb!
- (Posted 10:42 Central Time - 04/25/05) Just recieved the latest Nintendo Power in the mail. It seems every issue has some form of Pac news. Look for a review of PAC-PIX (it's awsome... duh) plus words on PAC 'N ROLL, PAC-MAN WORLD 3 and what's this? A couple of brand new NAMCO titles which I didn't even know about. SUPER PAC-MAN PINBALL, a Nintendo DS title based off of the PAC-MAN PINBAL ADVANCE for the GBA. Plus, NAMCO MUSEUM: 50TH ANNIVERSARY ARCADE COLLECTION featuring 14 classics including Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. Friggin' sweet!
