Awesome Namco

While you could buy a playable Pac-Man game for less money, the official LEGO version gives you the joy of assembling one yourself. The 2651-piece kit features a mechanical playfield and scoreboard, spinning Pac-Man and ghost characters on its top, and a light-up coin slot.

A comprehensive history of one of video gaming’s greatest icons, Pac-Man. This 340-page hardcover book is packed with concept designs, archival imagery, and stories from the game’s designers, developers, and marketers. The Collector’s Edition includes a slipcase, a Pac-Man Fever record, and an arcade token.

W.Essentiéls, Faith Industries, and Bandai Namco celebrate 40 years of Pac-Man with a cool collection of 8-bit fashions. Among the pixelated picks are an OG Maze black shirt, colorful ghost hoodies, and a Chasing Ghosts windbreaker. The varsity jacket is our favorite but isn’t available just yet. Also, it’s “Inky,” not “Inkly” folks.

Celebrate your love for Namco’s classic arcade game with this series of premium wearables from Brava Fabrics. The collection includes a mix of cotton shirts and wool sweaters embellished with pixel art characters. Our favorites are the printed long-sleeve shirt and the less subtle, holiday-friendly Jacquard sweater.

If you can believe it, 2020 is the 40th anniversary of the release of Pac-Man. Numskull Designs is celebrating 4 decades of the dot gobbler with a special edition 1/4-scale arcade machine, a collectible gift set, pin badges, and socks. There’s also a limited-edition mini machine signed by Pac-Mac creator Toru Iwatani.

This tiny 6.5″ tall arcade machine features graphics inspired by Stranger Things‘ Palace Arcade, along with images from Namco games Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, and Pac-Man. It’s fully playable, with those classic 8-bit titles, plus 16 Stranger Things-themed games.

A limited-edition record packed with music and sound effects from classic Namco arcade games like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Rally-X, Mappy, Galaga, Xevious and more. Each disc is pressed in sweet “pixel explosion” vinyl, and comes with an 8-page booklet about the games.

Capcom and Namco pull back the lid on the upcoming cross-franchise fighter in this cinematic trailer. What, cutscenes aren’t your thing? Then watch 8 minutes of gameplay instead.

We get to see just a little more of the characters and exotic locales coming to the long-awaited sequel to the classic tag-team brawler. Is it just us, or did Heihachi’s stylist use a Wooly Willy game?

Other than a ton of spurting blood, and a protagonist named “Heinrich: Executioner of Witches,” we’re not sure what to make of Namco Bandai’s latest. Flows onto PS3 and Xbox 360 soon.

Ninja Theory, creator of Heavenly Sword have been working on their latest game, which follows two characters who escape slavery in a post- apocalyptic world. Coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.

The fire still burns bright for some of Namco’s most classic games: they’ve teamed up with Zippo to release special edition, etched lighters with Pac-Man, Galaxian, Xevious, and Dig Dug.
