Namco Films
Background: Namco, the famous worldwide game developer, produce several films from their hit games back in the late '80s.
(Late 1980s)
Nickname: "Space Pac-Man"
Logo: On a black space background, the camera spans around space until, out of almost nowhere, as close of "Pac-Man", Namco's official mascot and the title character from the legendary video game, floats out from the screen away from us. Jumping down, he lands on the "NAMCO" logo letters, and the first three light up, but he leaves the C and O, but they light by themselves. The company sign logo turns 90 degrees to the right to face us. Then, from the left, Pac-Man cheaply jump on top of the logo (a la the CGI Spidey Marvel Productions logo) and happily gives his regular pose to the camera. The Namco letters then shine.
FX/SFX: This logo clearly used full CGI animation; quite an early method for its time.
Cheesy Factor: The leaping of Pac-Man is so low-tech, it cracks a smile.
Music/Sounds: Starts with a synth rock guitar chord with whoosing sounds for Pac-Man's apperance. Three small synth trumpets note are played in tune to Pac-Man's steps. We end we a synth horn fanfare and a video game-like sound for the letters.
Availability: Extremely rare; can be found on the hard-to-find video game spin-off Mirai Ninja or Cyber Ninja in North America from 1988.
Scare Factor: Medium; the low-tech animation and Pac-Man's sudden apperance might scare a few.
