I do not recall hearing of a "Pac-Man World 4: Spooky Returns" video game coming out in 2008. You would think is would be mentioned on IGN.com or in Game Informer Magazine. What source dose this come from? -- Spock2266 05:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Pacmannewform.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wasn't there a Pac-Man wristwatch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.85.226.34 ( talk) 20:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I recall a version called "Pac Man Deluxe." The maze had a different shape from the original, and there were two escape tunnels on each side instead of one. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Recently this article has been changed and the lists of games have been seperated into strange catorgorys. What makes one game a 'traditional game' and what makes another game a 'spin off' is a matter of opinion, if Namco themselves catogorised the games like this then fair enough but since the haven't this should be put back to how it was. Also, why do the Pac-Man World games now get a special mention and none of the others do? These problems have been annoying me for a while now, it should be put back the way it was with simply the 'arcade games', 'console games' and 'mobile games' catogorys. What are other peoples views on this? 90.198.11.88 ( talk) 19:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
I think the article is much better now it is in a table with notes, platforms and release dates etc. but there are many games that have been completely removed from the list during the reconstruction: Baby Pac-Man, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pac'N Party, Pac-Man All-Stars, Pac-Man Pizza Parlor, all of the mobile titles and I think a few more. Could these games be readded to the article please, thank you.

Just for the record, I dug up a GameSpot source which could really go well into sourcing the series article ( [2]). Either way, the games are sourced at the following:
Those are the ones the IP listed other than the mobile ones... I'll try and add them soon, but real life is starting to eat away at my time, unfortunately. Nomader ( Talk) 23:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

my edit. If necessary, add {{

This game doesn't have significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources ( ?) as a standalone release (note how it has been unsourced for a decade). It has had some coverage in compilation releases, but even then should be covered proportionately. The existing Pac-Man game list article has enough room to list major features of the game. czar 17:25, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
I believe the article should not be merged. Video games that are part of one of the most famous series in video game history, not only initially released worldwide in multiple regions, but also additionally ported multiple times to multiple consoles within multiple anthological collections are triply notable real-world products. While some of the detail within the article might be argued to be excessive, the product itself is a clearly notable subject deserving of an article. Merging should not be used as a substitute for cleanup, so the argument that the article is written poorly is only an argument that the article should be improved, not an argument to merge.
That said, though I do not believe a merge is the best course of action, I could accept it. What I am opposed to is the action taken before: a blanket redirect with no effort at the retention of content that is part of a merger.

Also, just for the record, since that comment is on another page and thus might be missed by people seeing the discussion here, there was a previous merge proposal on Talk:Pac-Man Arrangement, wherein the only posts were by another user, User:Jeff Silvers, opposing merger, who stated, "Personally, I don't feel a merge is appropriate; it might be if Pac-Man Arrangement were exclusive to Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2, but it isn't; it has appeared in Pac-Man Collection, Namco Museum Advance, and Namco Museum (128-bit version)." — Lowellian ( reply) 15:33, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
I agree with Lowellian. A standalone article makes sense to me as long as it is improved. If a merge must take place however so be it. datagod ( talk) 🍁 20:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Could I suggest changing the name of the article to Pac-Man (Series)?
Man, I too like the other name better Flipsosmasos ( talk) 18:34, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I recently contributed on the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 saying that the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures games are a sub-series, but then I got a message saying my edit was undone because with that I made a redlink (you prolably know what a redlink is). So my question is: are the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures games a sub-series on their own? Flipsosmasos ( talk) 07:09, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
One of the notes for Pac-Mania states this is the first 16-bit game and while it does look like its a 16-bit game, the game itself is running on the 8-bit arcade hardware, Namco System 1. Is there something I'm missing here or is this an discrepancy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Domestic Weirdo ( talk • contribs) 21:49, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. This is a content dispute that is outside the scope of the RM process. A page for the franchise as a whole can be created at leisure. ( non-admin closure) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi! ( 投稿) 21:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
List of Pac-Man video games → Pac-Man (franchise) – I just think it looks better like this. What do you all think? Thomasfan1000 ( talk) 15:28, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, I feel like they should be included as they are apart of the franchise. Thomasfan1000 ( talk) 21:53, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
No, I feel like the original 1980 game should just be called Pac-Man as that's what people think about when they think about Pac-Man, not the franchise. So that's why I'm saying Pac-Man (franchise). Thomasfan1000 ( talk) 17:45, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
