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.

Do you enjoy classic games like Popeye, Donkey Kong and Mario Bros.? What if I told you there was a game that combines elements of all three games into one new original piece?

Then you might enjoy Donut Dodo Do!

Donut Dodo Do! by Pixel Games and exA-Arcadia

Originally created for PC & consoles, Donut Dodo captures the look and feel of an arcade game produced in 1983. The objective is to control Chef Billy to collect all of the donuts on the level, while avoiding enemies like rats, fireballs, and…toilets. Once you collect all of the small donuts, you can grab the giant donut – being protected by the Dodo Bird – to move on to the next level.

Donut Dodo Do! is a new arcade version that keeps the gameplay intact, while adding some exclusive features! These include a unique stage, in-game side art created by Makoto Yabe, and the addition of a two-player co-op mode where you can play as Billy’s wife Bella and grab those donuts together.

This fun and retro-style game is ONLY found in Utah at Arcade Galactic – in fact, we’re the first location in the entire USA to grab it! Find it on our exA-Arcadia cabinet right next to the Neo Geo MVS, where it’s playable in glorious 4K resolution.
