Namco Will Open a Pac-Man Restaurant in Chicago
 |
| Woodfield Mall |
When I think of Pac-Man, I think bright colors, loud beeps, and…not that drab gray thing in the artist’s rendering above. Shouldn’t the entrance be through Pac-Man’s mouth or something?
Points for the nicely nerdy name: Level 257, which is one more than the 256 original levels of the game, and will confuse the hell out of casual players looking for “That Pac-Man Place” online.
That said, Pac-Man and eating are a perfect match. Though to be truly accurate to the Pac experience (Paxperience?), they should make you eat while on a treadmill.
