Day 315: Pac-Man rocks the hoops! Pac-Man is no slouch in video games, but did you know that he's also got some courtside game?! In Japan, he has a side gig as a mascot for the professional B.League basketball team, the Shimane Susanoo Magic! This came as a total shock to me.
Day 314: Pac-Mech! UK-based concept artist Calum Alexander Watt @CalumAWatt created this great poster for an idea called PacMech, celebrating Pac-Man's 35th bday in 2015. Such a cool idea with nice craft and a great reinterpretation of the #PacMan concept! #365ofPac #PacMan40th
Day 283: California Dreamin'! Today I'm sharing this clever 1982 Frank and Ernest comic strip by artist Bob Thaves. This cheeky, thoughtful comic launched in 1972 and was one of my favorites as a kid. This particular strip captures an early '80s California vibe & Pac-Man chill.
Day 267: Biking for Dots? In 1995, a Pac-Man game was in development for the SNES Life Cycle 3500 Extertainment Bike, an oddball peripheral/exercise bike that could connect to a SNES. A Pac-Man game was announced, but never released. The bike (and its price tag) didn't last long.
Day 166: Unfinished game. In 2004, renowned animator Don Bluth @DonBluthFilms was hired to develop #PacMan Adventures, a new Namco game. He designed characters & environments before it was shelved. While PMA was never released, some elements found their way into Pac-Man World 3.
Day 158: Breaking Camp. Keeping with the reinterpretaion theme, this "Pac Camp" is a piece I've dug for a long time, by artist R.Tesar Gustiar @digital_carbine. It's just peaceful and clever, just right for this chill Saturday. #365ofpac #pacman40th #pacman40 #pacmanart #paccamp
Day 98 Bonus: Point & Click Ms.! Just stumbled upon this amazing animated video of a #MsPacMan retro point-and-click style game. Created by @mikescottiskiff & it's soooo good! I would play a full game like this! See it here: https://t.co/OqFkWF8B7y #365ofpac #pacman #pacman40th
Day 49: Take a seat! Any way you slice it (or sit on it), this #PacMan chair is frightening. Pac-Man eats. You sit. A terrible combo for kids. Created by the Sherwood Corporation & I've never seen one IRL. Has anyone else? Another oddball (non-ergonomic) Pac-Man licensing idea.
