I couldn’t let Pac-Man Day pass without adding a little something to the site!
Pac-Man: Pac-Man in his Pac-Land stance, including with his default hat from that game and even a sprite with his longer nose from the Japanese version! While Namco’s 1984 side-scroller Pac-Land doesn’t get mentioned enough in U.S. gaming circles, you’d be surprised at how many developers around the world were influenced and inspired by it.
The new Pac-Sprites have been added to the main image generator, where I made the pic at the top of the post.
(edit: note from earlier in the day)
Sorry for the lateness, I’ll be adding it and it the variants later tonight. The tags in the blog post are a clue.
Hey, did you see the all-new Pac-Man cartoon series’ debut on YouTube today? If not, check it out here:
The show has a fun story set-up, the use of a cartoon-style chase to work that pac-gimmick, and the unexpected guest characters honestly made me smile. Really good voices and fun music, too! In a better world, this would be on Saturday Morning TV to spread more Pac-Man Fever around even more.
