Pac Man Demo
As if one retro-inspired 64-player battle royale adaptation wasn't enough for Stadia users to be getting on with, a second will soon be making its way to the streaming service in the form of Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle - and there's a demo available now.
Developed by Bandai Namco and Heavy Iron Studios, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is a 64-player battle royale experience in which chomp-mouthed participants attempt to be the last Pac-Man standing across 64 vibrantly themed, interconnected mazes.

'Invade other players' mazes, eat their dots and power ups - even other players! - and dominate the mazes!', is how Google pitches the new multiplayer adaptation in its announcement post, 'But watch out: viewers can vote on power-ups that can cause you - or your opponents! - to stumble on the field and be eliminated from battle!'.
Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle will feature two distinct modes of play, new power-ups, plus various cosmetic options for those eager to personalise their Pac-People - and at least some of those things are visible in the rather catchily soundtracked announcement trailer above.
