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!

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).
ALT 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."
ALT 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.

ALT The Pac-Man World Championship event. Carlos Romero from Mexico was the winner of the Pac-Man World Championship. He got to walk home with a one-of-a-kind Pac-Man-themed Xbox 360, 100,000 Microsoft points, and 26 years of free subs from Quiznos.

Street Fighter x Tekken was once meant to be released in tandem with a companion game known as Tekken x Street Fighter.
The game would have utilized Tekken's 3D playstyle like how the former game uses Street Fighter's. However, development on the game has long been halted.

The opening cinematic for Pac-Man World originally intended to include characters from other Namco games like Mappy, Dig Dug, and The Legend of Valkyrie.
