DALLAS, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PAC-MAN^® is back with a vengeance and Dave & Buster's is the only place in the world to get in on the action. PAC-MAN^® Battle Royale™ Deluxe, the first four-player competitive PAC-MAN^® arcade attraction, is now available exclusively at Dave & Buster's locations throughout the United States and Canada.

PAC-MAN^® Battle Royale™ Deluxe takes the classic arcade game fans know and love and steps up the action with a twist: players eliminate their opponents by eating them, and the last PAC-MAN^® standing wins the round. The Deluxe attraction features a huge screen so onlookers can get in on the action. This new take on PAC-MAN^® is available only at Dave & Buster's as a result of an exclusive worldwide partnership with NAMCO America, the makers of PAC-MAN^®.

"PAC-MAN^® is back, and he's bigger and hungrier than ever!" said Mike Kane, AVP of Game Strategy at Dave & Buster's. "We can't wait for our customers to try out this exciting new game. It's PAC-MAN^® vs. PAC-MAN^®, and they're dueling to be the last PAC-MAN^® standing."

To celebrate the launch, PAC-MAN^® Power Girls will visit select Dave & Buster's locations across the U.S. on Friday, December 16 and Saturday, December 17 during evening hours, and indulge fans in their first PAC-MAN^® Battle Royale™ Deluxe experience. They'll treat customers to a game or even face-off against customers who are up for the challenge.
