brill idea:

"Best real-life video game -  PAC-MANHATTAN

Organized by grad students at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, PAC-MANHATTAN hit the streets around Washington Square earlier this year, featuring a wacky dude in a yellow Pac-Man costume pursued by a quartet of guys dressed up as ghosts. All got instructions via cell-phone from players in a central control room. The hosts of I Love the '80s would have loved it."

corkey16 - 3-11-2005 at 07:21 AM

won't they get tired doing all that running?

minimandy14 - 3-11-2005 at 08:24 PM

Well they won't be running all the time if Pacman looses them . . . . .I think its kinda neet, it makes me want to do something like that here.

corkey16 - 3-12-2005 at 03:05 PM

yea, but what will be the point.

EvilMotivator - 3-12-2005 at 03:19 PM

I love Pacman. I even have those cheesy pacman dice hangin in my car there so cute. ;)

minimandy14 - 3-13-2005 at 03:29 PM

:lol: dude that would be awesome to be one of the onlookers. Thats probably why I would want to do it here, just so see what people did in reaction to it, and so I can film it :D ;)

i wanna be online and check their homepage when they play... :o i wonder whether they play regularly...


minimandy14 - 3-14-2005 at 02:08 PM

that would be awesome if they did. I would totally want to go to manhattan just to see them play :D :lol: it would be great.
