Pac-Man VR

Pac-Man VR is a virtual reality arcade game released in 1996 by Virtuality.
== Known Information ==
Pac-Man VR is very similar to the arcade original, but played at a first-person perspective, and with a unique control scheme. There is also a reported multiplayer mode, the details of which are unknown.
The game was sold on a CD-ROM, which was inserted into the disk drive of a Virtuality arcade machine. Both SU-2000 and SU-3000 model versions were released (which are two different models of machine).
Virtuality machines as a whole performed very poorly in arcades, and Pac-Man VR was no exception. To make matters worse, nearly every machine was sent back to Virtuality, where they were eventually liquidated. As such, not a single Pac-Man VR machine has surfaced; only a short gameplay video and some old promotional material.
== Re-release ==
A company known as Virtuosity Systems claimed to have acquired the rights to Pac-Man VR in 2017. They announced plans to re-release the title, along with other Virtuality games, for modern day VR headsets. Information was scarce, with no further announcements following for about three years. However, Pac-Man VR was officially made available for purchase again in August 2020, being sold through the Virtuosity Systems website.https://web.archive.org/web/20210128191600/http://virtuositytech.com/index.php/products/9-products/17-pac-man-vr-3 It is believed that this is leftover old stock, as it is only compatible with the original Virtuality arcade machines. A version for modern VR platforms is reportedly still planned.
