BREAKIN’ NEWS
First of all, Happy 35th Anniversary to Pac-Man! Here’s some new scratch-made animations to celebrate
This site concentrates more on platformers and beat-em-ups, but I don’t know if my love for video games would be as strong as it is without the case of Pac-Man Fever I caught back in the 80s. Many articles about video game history fudge the details a lot, but I don’t think any of them oversold how popular that game was. Before there was any hand-wringing about how to make video games “grow up,” Pac-Man was being played by people of all ages
Steam has knocked 75% off the price of PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ (and its DLC) for the anniversary, so jump on that sale while it’s still blue!
Expect a site update this weekend with new Pac-related sprites and a new background!
Combat Core has returned to Kickstarter! This 3-D arena brawler doesn’t plan to half-step one bit!
The WIP from MABManZ has new voice work and beautiful artwork by Robaato. The Alpha build already shows how much fun this game is going to be and it’s only going to get better. A Power Stone-like game with character customization? I CAN FEEL IT. Hit the Kickstarter page to download a playable alpha build of the game and give if you can!
Arcade Quartermaster just dropped a Dinosaurs vs. Ninjas update with new shrines for Jurassic Park, The Legend of Kage, The Ninja Kids and The Ninja Warriors! A lot of hard work goes into those shrines, so be sure to let Shadi know which shrines are your favorites!
