Alongside the animated series and tie-in video games, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures spawned an expansive toy line throughout its run. The commercial below advertises the "Gooage Spewing Gigantic Pac" and "Ghost Grabbin' Pac" set of figures.

Thanks to the preservation efforts for Keitai Archive, Pac-Man SP is finally playable beyond its 2011 Japan-only cell phone release! While heavily taking after Pac-Man Arrangement+ for PSP, Pac-Man SP boasts distinct level designs and is rendered in pixel art like the 1996 game.

If you want to see a full session, check out my recording of my playthrough here: NOTE: The game has an achievement-style system in the form of medals, and - sadly as shown here - prevents you from reaching the final stage if you have not earned them all youtube.com/watch?v=LDgzwhMx…

Back in 2020, I spent a week prototyping a Pac-Man game I intended to pitch someday. And...I never did. I call it "Pac-Man Slide" Pac goes only one way until he hits a wall. Players are to figure out how to move around with this in mind. I still enjoy the level with the ladders

Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and the ghosts have always been attractive picks for DIY Halloween costume projects. In fact, some people may even dress up as the arcade cabinet! (Pictures from, in order: @faziocramer, @spcoggins, @ContikiCara, and @Trashmagination)

Not Halloween related, but once upon a time, an Aladdin's Castle opened up a Pac-Man themed café experience called the Pac-Man Palace; it was joined by a bunch of Pac-Man games on location @DailyPacMan H/T Cash Box Magazine, July 24th, 1982:

Created by Playskool in 2000, Li'l Pac-Man is a game intended for young audiences. As Pac-Man, you move left and right while catching ghosts. If a ghosts moves past you, you lose a life. Li'l Pac-Man never officially surfaced beyond its initial test-marketing phase with K-Mart.

Monopoly Arcade: Pac-Man is unique in that a handheld device resembling a Pac-Man machine is used for major aspects of the game. Along with banking purposes, players use it to play a Pac-Man minigame to score points upon passing "Go." Points play the role of Monopoly money.

Pac-Man Championship Edition's development was kickstarted by Microsoft, as the original Pac-Man proved to be popular on Xbox Live Arcade. They asked Bandai Namco to make a new Pac-Man game and hold a world competition in New York (this would be the Pac-Man World Championship).
Coinciding with the Pac-Man World Championship, Xbox.com hosted various skit videos where they depict Pac-Man as a new Xbox employee. This still is from a skit where he is being interviewed by Lawrence Hryb, better known as "Major Nelson."

Development materials relating to the Manhattan stage for the game. The New York competition inspired the creation of the level. At one point, Pac-Man Championship Edition was going to incorporate a 3D visual style before the decision was made to modernize the iconic 2D look.

During Pac-Man Championship Edition's development, the team opted to make the game with 3D graphics and have it take place in the city of Manhattan, New York While the game's concept was reworked since, Manhattan's stage is still present in the final game, as well as the sequels
