Namco Networks and Sprint to Launch Super PAC-MAN

Namco Networks and Sprint have announced plans to give away a 2006 Volkswagen Beetle customized with a Super PAC-MAN theme. First launched in arcades in 1982, Super PAC-MAN features the same dot-chompin' action from the original PAC-MAN. This time, however, the goodies PAC-MAN has to gobble are behind locked doors and there are more obstacles to clearing the maze. To get around these obstacles, the wireless game features a number of super power-ups that make our favorite dot-chomper into a super-fast, super-sized PAC-MAN.

Two game modes, original arcade mode and enhanced mode, create fast-paced game play that fans won't want to miss. In the original arcade mode, PAC-MAN must gobble up keys that provide access to goodies locked behind secret doors. In addition, chomping super Power Pellets makes PAC-MAN bigger stronger, and faster, giving him a few seconds of imperviousness from those relentless ghosts.

Building on the action in the original mode, the enhanced mode features four new mazes and four new super powers to help PAC-MAN overcome his ghostly foes:
- ICE freezes the ghosts;
- MIRROR creates a distracting phony PAC-MAN double;
- TELEPORT enables PAC-MAN to escape doom by transporting him to a new location;
- STUN knocks the Ghosts senseless and lets PAC-MAN gobble them up for double points.

In celebration of the worldwide premiere of Super PAC-MAN on wireless phones, Sprint will be hosting the Super PAC-MAN sweepstakes from June 1 thru July 31, and will be the only carrier to offer the title during this time. Fans of Super PAC-MAN or other Namco mobile games, such as PAC-MAN, Ms. PAC-MAN, Galaga and Dig Dug, can enter for a chance to win this exclusive Super PAC-MAN vehicle by visiting the Super PAC-MAN Sweepstakes category on their capable Sprint and Nextel branded wireless phones and downloading any of Namco's mobile games. Each game downloaded equals an entry into the sweepstakes, and downloading Super PAC-MAN specifically will result in bonus entries.
