A Fresh Look at an Old Icon: The Ongoing Reinvention Attempts of Pac-Man
In this episode of Rantable, we delve into the latest game in the series, Shadow Labyrinth, which seems to be yet another attempt to reimagine a classic. With Pac-Man as one of gaming’s original icons, it’s hard not to notice that Namco’s efforts to portray the little yellow character as anything other than a maze-running icon miss the mark. This issue dates back to the 80’s, and today we aim to understand Namco’s obsession with reinventing Pac-Man games and why some aspects might be better left untouched.
In this video series, we express our personal opinions on video games or broader gaming topics. By examining game design, narrative choices, or cultural trends within the gaming community, Rantable aims to offer unique insights into familiar and beloved games through long-form video essay episodes.
