Treasure! Dig! Diggers! was a smartphone game released in 2008 where you had to tap the screen to dig up treasures and Namco characters, including Pac-Man.

In 2015, 321 volunteers dressed in full yellow and formed Pac-Man to promote the movie Pixels and for Pac-Man's 35th anniversary.

Toru Iwatani has shared many inspirations that have led to the creation of Pac-Man.

The ghosts are inspired by Casper & オバケのQ太郎 (Obake no Kyutarō). The antics in the game are inspired by Popeye and Tom & Jerry.
