Unless you’re friends with him on Facebook, you might not know that Pac-Man is turning 35 on May 22. It’s also because he looks great, possibly even better than he did when he first started chomping away on dots and ghosts in Japan on May 22, 1980.
To celebrate, Bandai Namco is having a real, physical birthday party for the video game icon at Level 257 in Schaumburg, Illinois. That shindig will feature “industry VIPs,” Professor Toru Iwatani, lead creator of the original Pac-Man game, food, drinks and other goodies. Also, the real Pac-Man will get his birthday cake, because there is one.
Since we won’t be getting invites to that party, Bandai Namco is letting the rest of us get in on the fun with a completely revamped and updated Pac-Man for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
“We are excited to bring a new, refreshing look to Pac-Man for Pac-Man’s 35th birthday celebration,” Ben Acevedo, Producer of Pac-Man mobile products, said in a press release. “This is an almost totally new Pac-Man. Everything has been redesigned to enhance the player’s experience. We have brought a pixel-to-pixel recreation of the classic game with the same difficulty, and we have also introduced new mazes and challenges. We are planning to continue to bring new elements to Pac-Man and evolve the franchise!”
The new Pac-Man boasts a “classic-inspired user interface,” though I don’t think it grows a joystick with a little ball on the top from your iOS device. It’s available now on the App Store for $6.99, along with a free trial version called Pac-Man Lite that you can grab for free.
And don’t be jealous just because Pac-Man has held up so well. We’ll talk again once he turns 50 …
