Namco’s PAC-MAN is 45 years old as of May 22nd, 2025, and if you live in northern Utah, then the best place to celebrate the arcade industry’s lovable mascot is at Arcade Galactic!

Nobody else in Salt Lake has as much PAC-MAN as we do as we’ve got:

Pac-Man 25th Anniversary (featuring the original PAC-MAN game as well as Ms. Pac-Man)
Ms. Pac-Man (original cab with Turbo software installed)
Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2 (Also has the original Pac-Man & the unique Pac-Man Arrangement)
Pac-Man Battle Royale Tournament Edition (special version of the software that was never widely released)

That’s six different ways to enjoy the game and the best part is that all of them except for Battle Royale are only 25¢ to play – just like they were 45 years ago! Good luck at finding anything else that’s the same price as it was almost half a century ago. Battle Royale is only 50¢ per person, so that won’t break your bank either. It’s also worth checking out the Arrangement game found on Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2, as that is a hidden gem that plays really well, but few people know about it.

Also to mark the day, we did a little bit of re-arranging on our Namco game cabs. Now, all three are snuggled up against each other, and one of our banners was moved. It’s hard to miss all of this classic, dot-eating goodness now:

Namco is also celebrating their mascot character all around the world. Check out this music video to celebrate the 45th anniversary. Thanks to Arcade Galactic, you can still literally insert a coin for something amazing!

We are open every day, M-Th 11am-8pm, Fri: 11a-9pm, Sat. 10a-9pm, and Sundays 12p-6pm. No entry fee and we operate on tokens that are 25¢ per coin.

Perhaps you’ve visited us in the real-world, or you haven’t had the chance to as our location is no where near where you live. Now, thanks to the Meta Quest 2 game, Arcade Legend VR, you can visit our new virtual location and play some unique indie games in the process!

What is Arcade Legend VR?

Build and manage your own arcade in Arcade Legend. Play officially licensed arcade games with friends in VR and win tickets and prizes. Check out the latest trailer to see the game’s recent updates including bowling, licensed DLC featuring the Big Bass Wheel, and Skee-Ball Extreme.

The Arcade Legend VR Retro Update

As of today, March 7th, Arcade Legend VR released the “Retro Update,” which includes the aforementioned addition of the Arcade Galactic venue to the game. Think of this as a second venue – it is not a 1:1 recreation of our existing site. Due to the nature of game licensing, it can’t feature all of the Namco, Sega, Taito, Raw Thrills games that we have, however, it carries with it the same spirit that we strive for in our physical location.

What Games Can I Play?

The current line-up features titles that have been licensed from the Pico8 platform. These are retro in style and gameplay, feeling just like a game would from the ’80s. In this sense, the virtual venue for Arcade Galactic is like an expanded “Classic Corner” that we have, where you can find and play games that came from a different era. We have often and still operate “indie” arcade games, along with super-rare retro games. The VR version encapsulates that vibe, where the focus is on fun while gaming instead of all on tickets and prizes.

How Does It Work?

Consult this handy quick guide on how to use the joystick controls that you come across within the virtual world. It’s pretty easy and is the next best thing to handling physical ones!
