Pac-Man gets a 40th birthday celebration overhaul
- Friday | 30th October, 2020
It’s hard to believe that Pac-Man is 40 years old, but the dot-munching maze game was launched in 1980 by Tokyo-based Bandai Namco. To celebrate its anniversary, a host of Pac-Man competitions have been announced, such as London-based retro gaming company Antstream Arcade’s Galaxian Challenge. But with just one life, power pills that last only 1 second, Pac-Man slowed to 90% and ghosts speeded up to 110% it’s quite an ask! The company is launching an augmented reality Pac-Man pin in December 2020 which will join an impressive catalogue of pins subscribers can already collect that feature popular video game franchises and TV series. The brainchild of pin creator Caleb Paullus, Pinfinity’s pins bring fandom to life by adding animation, sound and interactive experiences.
