Pac-Man Plug & Play Games

Main article: Namco (plug-n-play game)

There is a series of JAKKS Pacific Plug & Play controllers that are Pac-Man themed. Most of them feature either Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man as the main game and then include other Namco arcade games with it. Bandai also released their own in 2012 called Pac-Man Connect and Play.

Other compilations featuring Pac-Man

There are also many compilations featuring Pac-Man that don't have Pac-Man's name in the title. The most popular example is the Namco Museum series (every Namco Museum title features Pac-Man as the mascot, even on the few rare moments where the original Pac-Man game is not included) which has been on almost every video game console since the fifth generation, a list of many other Namco compilations (most of them featuring Pac-Man in some way) can be found here.

Some notable examples with the "Namco Museum" title:
