30 next year, Pac–Man remains the ultimate cult gaming icon. And the little yellow fella’s latest adventure, Pac–Man Championship Edition is just about to make its way from Xbox Live to your mobile. Read on to find out how you can lay your hands on this classic gaming action.
In a rejigged, modern take on gaming’s most iconic title, Pac–Man Championship Edition crams in stacks of new feature to sate social media junkies and mobile addicts alike.
That means integrated Facebook friends lists, so you can share and show off about high scores. Oh how times have changed from awkwardly tapping rude initials into a hulking machine down at your local arcade.
On top of that, Pac–Man Championship Edition also touts global and regional leaderboards, again aping the classic one–upmanship of the good old days of gaming.
Pac–Man’s founder, Toru Iwatani has also designed a string of new mazes, with time challenged modes, with improved cornering so Pac–Man can turn at speed and six different modes so you can make things tougher on yourself.
You can nab a free demo now. Well worth it so you can make like it’s 1981. With this and Monkey Island on iPhone, we’re spoiled for retro gaming choice this week.
