***First-ever free title in beloved franchise adds competitive Tournament mode, new mazes every week, and real-world prizes***

**SAN JOSE, Calif. - March 25, 2013 - **Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced the launch of *PAC-MAN +Tournaments™*, the first free-to-play PAC-MAN game in the classic series, now available exclusively for Google Play.

Players can download *PAC-MAN +Tournaments™* now for free on Google Play [here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namcobandaigames.pacmantournaments&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5uYW1jb2JhbmRhaWdhbWVzLnBhY21hbnRvdXJuYW1lbnRzIl0.).

In addition to a completely free version of the original 1980 *PAC-MAN*, *PAC-MAN +Tournaments™ *introduces a Tournament mode with new features that complement the tried-and-true PAC-MAN formula with endless gameplay, social competition, constantly updated brand new content.

“PAC-MAN was the first video game available for Android phones back in 2008, and with *PAC-MAN +Tournaments™*, we’re excited to expand our Google Play lineup with a game that revitalizes that beloved gameplay for a whole new group of fans,” said James Kucera, Head of Mobile, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “My favorite part is the balance of new and old -- players will be excited about the new Tournament mode, while the leaderboards and friend system harken back to the competitive arcade atmosphere from PAC-MAN’s beginnings.”
