Pac-Man Alt Art

Today I'm sharing some perspectives on the story behind Pac-Man.  I think a storyline for Pac-Man would be a hard one to come by, but some artists have put some hard work into this idea.  I really enjoyed these, and I hope you do, too!




What I do know about the background of Pac-Man is that the enemies are considered either ghosts or monsters.  Pac-Man (or Puck-man) has an obsession with having too many pills, needing more energy, or having an eating disorder (with the occasional fruit side).  Pac-Man is the first maze video game and also the first game to have power-ups.

Anyone want to take a shot at another alternative back story for Pac-Man?

  6. You've probably heard this one before, but Pacman was an interpretation of the underground dance music scene.
    "Listening to repetitive music in a dark room whilst gobbling pills!"

  10. I have the 2nd one as a shirt, too. Everybody always asks if 'it's really what Pac-man was about' when I wear it.

  14. The alt-art with the space ghosts looks like it's stolen from a bad Scooby-Doo induced acid trip. I love it!
