The world’s first international mobile games tournament was launched in August, run by Namco and i-mode, with a series of national finals before a final championship that’s being held in London in November. The tournament centres on the arcade classic, Pac-Man, and players who buy and download the game onto their mobile phone will be able to submit their highest scores for consideration.

The overall winner will become Pac-Man European Champion 2005, and walk away with a rare and exclusive 25th anniversary branded Pac-Man arcade machine, featuring three classic Namco arcade titles – the original Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga. The competition will run until the end of September and the player in each country with the highest score will continue onto the Grand Final in the UK in November. There they will compete live and head-to-head with the other winners on an original PAC-MAN arcade machine at the famous Namco Station entertainment centre at County Hall, in the heart of London.
