See Pac-Man run

Was it really so long ago when I threw quarters into a machine to play some silly ghost-chasing game called Pac-Man? I know I'm old, but this is unwelcome confirmation.

Proving that nothing in the pop-culture junkosphere ever dies, Pac-Man may return as a game show. This project might have been inevitable after Wipeout demonstrated what you can do with big balls. So why not a show with big dots from the '80s? Merv Griffin Productions exec Roy Bank leaves no doubt about the inspiration for Pac-Man, the TV game. He envisions a "big, crazy Wipeout-type event with a lot of energy."

Will there be a Ms. Pac-Man spinoff if the show succeeds? Or will the ghosts close in remorselessly on our hero and consign him forever to development hell? Stay tuned and keep thinking, waka waka waka.
