Ms. Pac-Man

Ms. Pac-Man in Hustler Magazine

Joystick penis joke alert! Joystick penis joke alert! Above is a clip from a 2005 Hustler piece that featured a pantsu-less woman in a Ms. Pac-Man costume. The article includes lines like:

Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

So clever. Hit the jump for the full version. It's from Hustler, so NSFW should be a given. That is, unless you work at Hustler, then it's TOTALLY SAFE. More »

Five World Records Up For Grabs in Brooklyn

Ah, the Guinness Book of World Records. In the 1980s game craze, I remember they started accepting video game submissions, so I rolled the score on Defender on the Atari 2600 (1 million points), snapped a photo and sent it in, either to Guinness or somewhere else. No one called, no one wrote. Glory delayed is glory denied. More »

Revenge of the Haunted Ms. Pac-Man

Someone call Scooby!

Yesterday we wrote about the haunted Ms. Pac-Man that a Bostonian was giving away because it made his little girl cry and his wife run screaming from the house.

We, and many of you, made jokes and laughed, saying how much we wish we could have gotten a free "haunted" Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. Well, apparently, the person who did land it isn't so happy today. Was it a scam? No, says the new owner, but it was freakin' haunted!!!

The Haunted Ms. Pac Man

Everyone knows that Ms. Pac Man is filled with ghosts, four of them to be specific. But a fifth ghost?

That's what a Boston-area Craigslister claimed when he was contacted to ask why he was giving away a Ms. Pac Man cabinet for free.

Someone on ArcadeControls.com contacted the cabinet owner for the explanation, which involves poltergeist, a crying 3-year-old and a "dark figure."

Ms. Pac-Man Looks Lovely on Hands

We've posted plenty of gaming shirts, but gaming rings? Aside from Square Enix's Final Fantasy costume jewelry, no gaming rings jump out at me. There are these: Ms. Pac-Man and a ghost. For those with man hands, there is also an approximately one inch version of the ghost ring. While the website dubs the ring "Ghost Ring Large," we refer to it as Blingy-Blingy. More »

The Ms. Pac-Man Necklace

Etsy does it again! Artist SparkleMe created this cute Ms. Pac Man necklace and put it up for sale on the craftster website not too long ago. Of course it didn't last long and sold almost immediately (these things always do), so if you were hoping to pick this up for your loved one or maybe yourself, I'm afraid you've missed the boat. Aeropause's Eric Munn already snapped up this beauty for his lovely wife. Sorry, maybe next time.

Pac-Man CE Looks Damn Amazing

While Ms. Pac-Man is one of those go-to games that I'll still drop a quarter in today, my dot munching days are pretty much over. However, after seeing the "history making" Pac-Man Championship Edition in motion, I'm totally into this. Pac-Man is seriously back. Did we mention this is going live tomorrow on Xbox Live Arcade yet? Well, it is. Michael McWhertor

Watch A Chimp Play Ms. Pac-Man

We love primates at Kotaku. We love to watch monkeys and apes bathe cats, smoke cigarettes, quench their thirst via their own urine. A little bit of trivia for you here: Brian Ashcraft's favorite movie of all time is Every Which Way But Loose. Seriously, he owns this on laserdisc. That's why we're so pleased to present you with this fascinating video of a chimpanzee (a bonobo, possibly) playing Ms. Pac-Man. Monkey boy isn't really that good, but at least seems to grasp the basic concept. Maybe it's all just random luck. More »
