Easter egg: Pac-Man is on Pac-Man in Street Fighter x Tekken

Decorate your own maze with Pac-Man wind-up toys

'Pac-Man Smash' trademarked in Europe
Namco Bandai filed a European trademark (number 010786341) for something called "Pac-Man Smash!" suggesting that, finally, Namco is making a spinoff game based on Pac-Man.

A waka waka down memory lane: the 1982 Pac-Man cartoon
With a new Pac-Man cartoon on the way to television, there's no more opportune time to go back and re-examine the last Pac-Man cartoon, produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1982 and 1983. If you were too young to enjoy this stuff when it was fresh, get a very small bowl of popcorn and take in the ...
