Pac-Pix Ships
(Press Release - Nintendo DS)
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (April 26, 2005) – Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today that "PAC-PIX(TM)" has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America for the Nintendo DS™ system. Combining classic Pac-Man gameplay and the unique technology of the DS system, "PAC-PIX" lets players draw and control their very own Pac-Man as he chases down Ghosts in this innovative adventure.
Pac-Man is about to embark on his most heroic quest yet and face off against his perpetual foes, the Ghosts. One day, a mischievous wizard created something called “Ghost Ink.” Everything drawn with this ink turned into Ghosts. Up to their old tricks, the Ghosts started to cause chaos throughout the world. Pac-Man rushed to trap the Ghosts in a book using his |

trusty Magic Pen, but in the process of turning them back into Ghost Ink, our hero finds himself trapped inside. Now, it’s up to the player to pick up Pac-Man’s Magic Pen – using the DS stylus – and finish off the Ghosts once and for all.
"PAC-PIX" literally puts Pac-Man’s fate into the hands of the player by utilizing the DS system’s stylus and touch screen to draw Pac-Man, shooting arrows and exploding bombs to reach Ghosts ripe for the chomping. Bigger Ghost Bosses call for a bigger Pac-Man, and larger bombs cause larger blasts. Pac-Man can even travel between the upper |

and lower DS screens, collecting items to maintain a steady diet of fruit and Ghosts. If one’s not enough, draw up to three Pac-Mans on screen at once.
“'PAC-PIX' lets players express their creativity through the DS’s stylus and touch screen by drawing Pac-Man and a variety of items to track down pesky Ghosts,” said Yoshi Niki, Business Unit Director at Namco Hometek Inc. “People have been drawing Pac-Man for 25 years, and we now have the capability to let players bring these drawings to life in an all-new adventure.”
