PacManhattan Relocates Classic Game To New York Streets 326
Matt Slaybaugh writes "Some classmates of mine have developed a 'large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man.' One player dresses up as Pac-Man and tries to cover the full Greenwich Village grid, while 4 others dressed as Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde try to catch him. Everyone reports their positions to their respective generals, who monitor progress on a central control board. I can't wait for the real-world implementation of Donkey Kong."

Really? why? I must admit that I have never been to Manhattan or America for that matter. You must have lots of police on the street if they have time for that. I never see any police on foot in downtown Copenhagen. Racing around in their cars, es, but caring the slightest bit about on foot, no. To me it just sounds strange why they should care about those goofballs, but I guess it is a different mentality all together
