The last Nuits Sonores festival made a lot of noise in the city, including in the streets of Croix-Rousse and in “Moi j’m'en fous je triche” game bar, where many Pacman games took place and where a new record has been established.

Now, Urban Pacman sessions come back to their usual pace, one session the first saturday of each month. So, next session will take place on saturday, June 5th at 8 rue René Leynaud in Lyon. Come and dare to beat the new record!

Here we are ! Spring is back, and with it, the sun (well, in our hearts at least) ans life-size Pacman games ! The first session will be quite unusual since it will take place during the “Nuits sonores” festival . And for once, this time, the session will not take place on the first saturday of the month, but on friday, may 14th 2010. But some things never change, we still await you at 3pm at this fantastic game bar called “Moi j’m'en fous je triche“, situated 8 rue René Leynaud in Lyon.

After this particular event, life-size Pacman sessions will go on once a month, as usual. However, if you want fresh information, come and visit our website regularly or go to “Moi j’m'en fous je triche“.

This last Urban Pacman session was such a huge success we had to calm down the players who wished they could play until the end of the night ! But 10 games was tiring enough for the runners who really had a great sense of competition this day : a new record has been set by Julien who scored 2820 !

So, Pacman@Lyon is over for this year, but the Pacman frenzy will probably continue next year in Lyon. Meanwhile it goes on in other parts of the world :  players in Portland also ate ghosts this week end.

And we absolutely have to advertise this great new idea about Pacman : PacmanIsInParis sticks Pacman stickers all around the city. Pacman@Lyon’s contribution should be on their website soon…

Despite the july hotness, several great games have been played during last session. Pacman and the ghosts have lost few litres of sweat but they didn’t regret it!

Unfortunately, we won’t organize a Urban Pacman session in august. This will let our players all the time they need to train for the september session!  So be there on september, saturday the 5th from 3pm to 8pm (or more) at 8 rue René Leynaud à Lyon (Moi j’m’en fous je triche).

Here we are, the principle of a monthly session works perfectly. Like every first saturday of the month, last session was a success despite the rain.

Next session will take place during another great event : the game festival of Rue Leynaud, in partnership with others associations of the street (Moi j’m’en fous je triche, le Kotopo, etc…). So, be there saturday, July the 4th from 3pm at 8 rue René Leynaud à Lyon (Moi j’m’en fous je triche).

Once again, the session of may was a huge success! After 9 crazy games, we decided to play a night game. This 10th game is to be remembered : the best players (and the most regular players) met in the dark streets of Croix-rousse. We will long remember the face-to-face between Pacman and Blinky in the Montée de la Grande Côte, won by Pacman. But Blinky had his revenge few minutes later, at the end of the effect of the pacgum.

I’m pretty sure we’ll also have memorable moments at the next session. Be there saturday, June the 6th from 3pm at 8 rue René Leynaud à Lyon (Moi j’m’en fous je triche).

Also take note that a new version of the software is available, now with less bugs and with an english translation. Feel free to contact us if you need help to setup your own game !

Pacman is on the tracks! The first 2009 session was a success : fans of the yellow bowl came numerous and played 10 games! Once again, the press was here ; this time, an american journalist from “The World” radio show came to interview us. Of course, we’ll publish a link to the podcast as soon as we get it. Meanwhile you can still watch the last photos on PhotoBucket and on the Facebook page of the event.

All the players really loved the game and can’t wait for the next session! So, be there saturday, may the 2nd from 3pm at 8 rue René Leynaud à Lyon (Moi j’m'en fous je triche). I already know this next session will be enlivened and full of competition. I wouldn’t be surprised if games will be played up to the night!
