Be The Next PAC-MAN Champion!
Namco Networks to Host E3 PAC-MAN Tournament
SAN JOSE, Calif. (April 17, 2006) Think
you've got what it takes to be the PAC-MAN champion? Namco
Networks, a leading publisher and developer of wireless games
and content, is hosting a series of PAC-MAN tournaments at
the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles,
Calif., May 10-12.
Daily tournaments consisting of two rounds-a qualifying round
and a final challenge-will give players the opportunity to
battle against other PAC-MAN fans for prizes and bragging
rights.
During the daily qualifying rounds, contestants will compete
on mobile phones to see who can earn the highest PAC-MAN
score. There will be three qualifying rounds daily, which are
open to all who want to enter. The day's six highest scores
(as displayed on the tournament's leader board) will qualify
contestants for the daily final challenge.
Taking it back to the arcade-era, final challenge contestants
will face a "sudden death" playoff on a classic PAC-MAN
arcade machine. With just one life, challengers must score as
many points as possible.
All of the final challenge contestants will receive prizes
delivered by PAC-MAN himself. Along with a "PAC-MAN Champion"
t-shirt, the daily winner will receive a gift basket of
PAC-MAN toys, shirts, and other products available
exclusively from ClubNamco.com, Namco Networks' new retail
site.
"Namco Networks is eager to give PAC-MAN fans a chance to
show off their dot-chompin' skills," said Scott Rubin, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for Namco Networks. "This is
a great opportunity for PAC-MAN fans to play the mobile and
arcade games side-by-side. Arcade fans are often surprised to
find the mobile versions almost identical to playing the
original arcade game."
Each day, contestants can enter the tournament at the Namco
Networks booth (#600, South Hall). The qualifying rounds
begin at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The daily final
challenge will be at 3:00 p.m.
