Talk:List of Pac-Man video games

message: I do not recall hearing of a "Pac-Man World 4: Spooky Returns" video game coming out in 2008.  You would think is would be mentioned on IGN.com or in Game Informer Magazine. What source dose this come from? --Spock2266 05:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Pacmannewform.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I recall a version called "Pac Man Deluxe."  The maze had a different shape from the original, and there were two escape tunnels on each side instead of one. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Recently this article has been changed and the lists of games have been seperated into strange catorgorys. What makes one game a 'traditional game' and what makes another game a 'spin off' is a matter of opinion, if Namco themselves catogorised the games like this then fair enough but since the haven't this should be put back to how it was. Also, why do the Pac-Man World games now get a special mention and none of the others do? These problems have been annoying me for a while now, it should be put back the way it was with simply the 'arcade games', 'console games' and 'mobile games' catogorys. What are other peoples views on this?

message: This game doesn't have significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources (?) as a standalone release (note how it has been unsourced for a decade). It has had some coverage in compilation releases, but even then should be covered proportionately. The existing Pac-Man game list article has enough room to list major features of the game. czar 17:25, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Plus, being part of a memorable franchise doesn't automatically establish notability for a particular game. Mortal Kombat is world famous yet there's not an article for every release in the series. sixtynine • speak up • 03:03, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Re: "Mortal Kombat is world famous yet there's not an article for every release in the series": The articles Mortal Kombat (1992 video game), Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat 4, Mortal Kombat Gold, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Mortal Kombat (2011 video game), Mortal Kombat X, etc., would beg to differ. —Lowellian (reply) 09:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, but I'm also certain that every single one of those entries easily has the sourcing to meet the WP:GNG individually though, making them incomparable to this particular article. Sergecross73 msg me 20:10, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

text: What portion of this content is sourced (and thus appropriate) to merge? (Also really surprised to hear this from an admin... what portion of this content is sourced to even stay as a separate article?) czar 10:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

text: Feel free to suggest a better target then, but as long as there is no sourcing for this specific version, it should be merged elsewhere, and if there is nothing sourced to merge, it should simply be redirected. czar 18:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Agreed. This game is notable enough in my opinion to have its own dedicated article. Namcokid47 (talk) 18:49, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: How can you both say that? Without any sourcing, or even an actual rationale (WP:ITSNOTABLE isn't valid), there's not even a debate here. WP:V and WP:GNG are non-negotiable. You can't opt out of sourcing on Wikipedia. Unless someone provides some, the only possible conclusion is to get rid of the article ("Merge" if any actual content can be verified, redirection/deletion is nothing can be verified.)

message: Could I suggest changing the name of the article to Pac-Man (Series)?
Man, I too like the other name better Flipsosmasos (talk) 18:34, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I recently contributed on the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 saying that the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures games are a sub-series, but then I got a message saying my edit was undone because with that I made a redlink (you prolably know what a redlink is). So my question is: are the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures games a sub-series on their own?

message: One of the notes for Pac-Mania states this is the first 16-bit game and while it does look like its a 16-bit game, the game itself is running on the 8-bit arcade hardware, Namco System 1. Is there something I'm missing here or is this an discrepancy?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Domestic Weirdo (talk • contribs) 21:49, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: While I'm not too familiar with how Namco's arcade systems are built, I can definitely say that it being an 8-bit board is flat-out wrong (no idea why the article for it says otherwise). Pac-Mania is absolutely a 16-bit game, so that bit of info should be left alone. I really need to get this thing into shape, it's a colossal mess and has been largely unfinished for many years now.
