That continued popularity of the arcade icon can also be seen through references made by other groups. For instance, Pac-Man is now a recurring character in Super Smash Bros., and the British virtual band Gorillaz released a new song called "PAC-MAN" as part of its "Song Machine" project to celebrate the character's anniversary. saw Family Pinball for Famicom. It wasn't primarily a Pac-Man game, but it did feature Pac-Man as a playable character, and there was a Pac-Man-themed table. The 2005 version of Pac-Man Arrangement received a PSP-exclusive re-release that gives the game a coat of Namco fanservice.Other neat changes see power pellet spaces added, as well as power ups, with maze tunnels added where the stations normally sit – these allow players to jump from one side of the board to the other – and a Ghost pawn who moves around the board, taking a small bite of a player’s score if they land on it, or if it lands on them.

Quest for the Golden Maze features Baby Ghost, who functions similarly to Kinky but grants powerups if collected. The game depicts an abstract round yellow character vaguely reminiscent of a head with a mouth opening and closing to gobble up nearby objects. The player must steer the character around a maze and "eat" all of the dots and four special power pellets (originally "energizers"). Four ghosts (originally "monsters" ) pursue the character, and only become vulnerable for a short time after Pac-Man eats a power pellet. Touching a ghost at any other time is fatal. THE GHOST: Players move around the board as Pac-Man, and also move the Ghost token on their turn. The Ghost Die determines how far the Ghost token movesEarly-Installment Weirdness: Going by the maze games alone, Super Pac-Man and Pac & Pal are oddities. Unlike Midway's sequels that expanded on Pac-Man's dot eating gameplay, Namco's sequels added gates & keys onto the mazes, bonus stages, largely altered the ghost movements, and dots were now fruit. Later Namco games largely forego most of these elements.

Yes, this is history at its most irreverent. Any millennial will say that the '90s were the best decade--even though many were still in diapers at the time. Regardless, and putting the whole '90s-kid debate aside for a moment, they're right. Much of 90s culture dictates ours today. Can we imagine a universe without Oprah? And without Friends or Seinfeld, would our world even turn? If Nirvana hadn't made it big, would grunge have ever reached the masses? We doubt it, and this bingo game just about proves it.Lead the Target: Pinky doesn't target Pac-Man's actual position, but rather four spaces in front of him. Pac-Man Arrangement (1996) and World's Largest Pac-Man both have Player 1 play as the normal yellow Pac-Man while Player 2 is a green one. With Pac-man we have brought together a number of elements that combine to offer a very complete product for players of all ages,” he said. “It starts with the licensing and how that’s displayed on the product, and with Pac-Man we’ve got one of the most recognisable licenses in the history of arcades. The branding is displayed bright and bold and that gives the product a very strong walk-up value for players.”
