Pac-Man World Finally Arrives on PSN

This was one of my favourite games to play on my PlayStation One way back in the day. A pure joy and delight, I’m so happy that I can finally play it on my Vita on the go.

Released back in the autumn fall of 1999, Pac-Man World was one of the most colorful and eye catching game’s of the day. A great game that stood proudly beside my gaming delights that included Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII. I was so excited to play it back then, just as I want too, once again today.

There is this beautiful back catalogue of classic Namco titles on the PSN. Ranging from Tekken 2 to Klonoa to R4. However, Pac-Man World was the one I missed the most. It took so long to finally be re-released. A forgotten gem of the PS1 era. It was definitely worth the wait.

Those who’ve watched or played Bandai-Namco’s latest Pac-Venture, Pac-Man and The Ghostly Adventures, will feel right at home. Pac-Man World was the third Pac-Man platformer since 1984’s Pac-Land and 1994’s Pac-In-Time. Wow!

Now we celebrate the re-release of a classic. It’s a joy of a game and a steal at $5.99, now playable on the PS3, Vita and PSP. Heck, it even includes the original arcade game, fully emulated and playable. So you get the best of both world’s, one of the greatest arcade game’s of all time alongside of one of the best platformer’s.

Now all we need Bandai-Namco to do is re-release Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness and all those Namco Museum PS1 classics. ;)
