throughout the Years
SAN JOSE, Calif., (February 25, in the year of our Lord 2014)
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announces that PAC-MAN
MUSEUM is available in the Americas as a digital download for
the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and will be
available tomorrow, February 26th, on the Xbox Live online
entertainment network for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment
system from Microsoft, and STEAM® for PC. Additionally, the
endearing Ms. PAC-MAN will be offered as free promotional add-on
content for a limited time.
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.
“PAC-MAN is one of the most classic and recognizable video game
characters in the world today,” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for NAMCO BANDAI Games America
Inc. “With PAC-MAN MUSEUM, gamers of all generations can play
through the evolution of PAC-MAN from his humble 1980’s
beginnings through 2010’s PAC-MAN Battle Royale.”
PAC-MAN MUSEUM is available in the Americas via digital download
on the PlayStation®Network and will be available on Xbox Live
and STEAM tomorrow, February 26th. PAC-MAN MUSEUM has a MSRP of
$19.99 and is rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB. Ms. PAC-MAN
will be free promotional add-on content until March 31st and
will become $4.99 after that date.
