It has been revealed that Namco is preparing to deliver another version of its 1980 arcade classic in Pac-Man Remix.
While it keeps to the essential maze-running, dot-munching coin-op action, Pac-Man Remix also delivers a vibrant, colourful graphical update. Alongside the enhanced graphics are a host of new and exclusive features such as boss battles, stage specific gadgets and power up items.
Controls are often a sticking point on arcade adaptations for the iPhone, so three control systems have been built into Pac-Man remix to try and tackle the problem: an on-screen D-pad, swiping gestures and accelerometer.
The game has come from a new division set up specifically at Namco to develop iPhone games, which is being fronted by former I-play producer Jonathan Kromrey.
