PAC-MAN says "waka-waka": your phone is ringing

August 9, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Namco America, a publisher of wireless games and content, has announced the availability of PAC-MAN's Arcade Corner, an interactive ringtone-download application based on Namco's popular PAC-MAN game. The ringtone app works on phones that feature Qualcomm's BREW platform.

PAC-MAN's Arcade Corner is a full-color, animated ringtone application that features PAC-MAN's ghostly adversaries -- Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde -- dancing to ringtones as users search and preview tones.

Game that Tone!, a mini game show that is a unique way to preview ringtones, is included with the application and puts listening skills to the test. The animated feature puts users in a head-to-head competition with the ghosts, challenging users to name the tone just played from several choices. Win or lose, users then have the option to preview and download any of the choices.

All of the video game ringtones, such as the "Waka-Waka" sound from PAC-MAN and the theme music from Tekken, are only available through PAC-MAN's Arcade Corner via select BREW operators. Qualcomm's BREW platform is a J2EE-based, modular delivery system that enables the distribution of content, applications and user interfaces to wireless devices across all air interfaces.
