DS/3DS Release Dates & Sales // Tiny Cartridge Stickers For Your Games!
Pac-Man is a game where you wander aimlessly through a maze of dark, featureless corridors, relentlessly chased by the undead. Your combat abilities against them are minimal, and your ammunition extremely limited — there are only four per map.

Even if you do ‘kill’ your enemies, they are not truly dead, merely slightly inconvenienced. They can never be truly killed, and live for the sole purpose of hunting you until you’re dead.

Do you get what I’m saying? Pac-Man is the first survival horror game.”

KevinCow shares a far-fetched but thought-provoking interpretation of Pac-Man as a survival horror game.

If I recall correctly, Namco Bandai is planning a special title for the yellow guy’s 30th anniversary in 2010, with Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator and former level designer Hirokazu Yasuhara helming the project. Maybe we’ll see Pac-Man navigating ghost-filled mazes with a Resident Evil 4/5-styled over the shoulder view?
