When I'm in the mood for Pac-Man, my favorite way to play it is to fire up the Championship Edition, but I can definately see the advantage of being able to fire it up on your computer anytime you get the urge. Namco now offers the option of playing both Pac-Man and Dig-Dug through Facebook, and while the demos are free, there's a catch: actually downloading the game costs $9.99, and you can't play it in your browser.
The comments are pretty brutal, especially the ones for Pac-Man. There's also no Mac version, which certainly isn't going to win any points with those users. Sorry Namco, I think you missed the mark on this one. Better luck next time?

And Pac-Man?! For Christ's sake we can play Starsiege: Tribes and Quake 3 in-browser now.
I had other words in there but I found they were superfluous. The info alone is ridiculous enough.
But for serious, people must be really clueless on how they are getting scammed for them to keep doing this. Isn't pacman $5 on XBLA?
Or just get GameTap... They do have Namco games, right?
Do NOT want.
I logged on to dtoid tonight, as I often do right before bed, and I was very excited to see something that I created on it. That graphic up there, I made that it's not great, i know, it was a rushed job, but it's mine none the less. If you follow the links to the Facebook application, you'll see my handy-work in every button and piece of text.
I'm not going to get all butthurt about the comments, no one likes the price. But, I do have a question for the community. 1) What price would to pay for this (if anything at all)? And 2) Have any of you given it a shot?
Thank you my friends.
Not even 1 buck , sorry but it's like asking if I want to pay for breathing ...
