Pac-Man Championship Edition is a modern reimagining of the classic Pac-Man gameplay. Players navigate mazes, consuming pellets while avoiding four pursuing ghosts. This edition introduces new mechanics, including time-based challenges and dynamic maze layouts, enhancing the traditional experience. Designed by Tōru Iwatani, it marks his last project before retirement, bridging nostalgia with innovation.
Pac-Man Championship Edition is similar in basic gameplay to the original 1980 Pac-Man: players have to eat dots, while avoiding the four ghosts that roam around the maze. Championship Edition, however, also brings many gameplay differences.
The game was designed by Tōru Iwatani, the creator of the classic original 1980 arcade game Pac-Man, and it was Iwatani's final game before his retirement.
