Thread: PS1 title Pac-Man World is getting a remake

Namco's 1999 PlayStation title Pac-Man World is making a comeback in a new remake.

The new release, which will be called Pac-Man World Re-Pac, is being billed by Bandai Namco as "a modernised classic" and will be released on August 26 on consoles and PC.

According to information spotted on Amazon, the new version will be "packed with smoother intuitive gameplay, updated visuals and a wider view of the action".

Players will also be able to play through the main adventure in Quest Mode, or take on a collection of 3D mazes in Maze Mode.

By completing Quest Mode, players will unlock the original Pac-Man game.

Pac-Man World was originally released on the PlayStation in 1999.

The game sees Pac-Man trying to rescue his friends, who have been kidnapped by the ghosts and being held in Ghost Island. Pac-Man has to make his way through six worlds to find them.

Whereas the original Pac-Man was a simple maze game, Pac-Man World is more of a 3D platformer in which Pac-Man is able to attack enemies with a butt-bounce move, or roll into a ball to go off ramps.
 
I am in.

Won the original on Namco's Aladdin's Castle/Cyber Station website back in the day.

It's a very enjoyable platformer.
