I would get a 360 for this alone as a Pac-Man fan....but I would hope that eventually it's going to find it's way onto other consoles..

Hell, that would be fun.
But I will admit I am kinda jealous of this game. Pac-Man is such a simple classic you have to love it.

If we get an online-enabled Pac-Man at all, it'll probably be on a Namco Museum compilation.As to Pac-Man Championship Edition, it fails because it only has timed games.

What?!?
I read it on one of the IGN Blog pages. I think maybe Bozon's or Peer's.
It was an old Gameboy Pac Man game, but it had a verse mode where when you ate the ghosts it sent them to the other players boards.
Now imagine you have a game like that that supported 4 player Pac Man action. With 4 players when you eat one of the 4 ghosts each is sent to a different players board...still allowing a potential total of 8 ghosts against one person. Anyway, I think this is a great VS mode idea that needs to be created again and explored again.
Also I would love the idea that a Pac Man game has Pac Man grow up. From Baby Pac Man eat enough pellots and become Pac Man Junior, eat enough become Pac Man, and eventually Super Pac Man.
Each character has different characteristics and "abilities."

I dunno. I just think a cute little change to the Pac Man franchise like that wouldn't hurt the theme of the overall game and would be fun.

Craig's. I know that because I stumbled across it while looking him up on Wikipedia because I was trying to remember who the editor of IGN Pocket was.

Companies with classic game libraries would do well to take the formula of old gameplay with new twists.

I like the idea of infusing classic games with new ideas and modern game play concepts...but you have to make sure it FEELS and plays like the originals, if it doesn't then it is not that classic game, it is a very hard blend.
Personally, this is a passion of mine, and I would love to recreate classic game play and traditional games with the addition of modern twists and gameplay ideas.

This is spiffy cool... now if only I had someone to play it with as my wife has absolutly zero interest in playing Pac-Man with me.

Triple post. Whoo!

Anywhoo, got to play the old GameBoy version at work today with a friend. It's pretty darn cool. We played 3-4 matches and I won everyone one. At one point, I was just crusin' around my maze with no ghosts while he had eight on his screen and had already eaten all of his power pellets. HA! The concept is *great*, but it needs some fine tuning to make it perfect (example, GBC screen is too small and forces you to scroll as you can only see part of the map at a time. Also, the case I mentioned above sucks for the other player.) But seriously, I'd love to see this idea reinvisioned for a multi-player Pac-Man.
To be fair though, Pac-Man vs. Is one of my most favorite multi-player games ever... So it's a given that I'd like something like this...

Technically no.
I need to get Pac-Man Vs. Then I would have caught them all. Even though I never had anyone to play with really.

QuoteSo how does a match end? Does he have to die? Is there any way for you to win (other than by default because the other player loses)?

Anywhoo, in his particular situation, if he could manage to complete the maze (by eating all the dots, of course), he would be rewarded with a new maze (with new Power Pellets to send Ghosts back to me). However, with 8 Ghosts and no Power Pellets in his current maze, it'd be quite the challage to finish...
