An edition of Pac-Man and the Ghost Diggers (1983)

Pac-Man and the Ghost Diggers

This is one of two books created by Golden Books. The second book in this series is titled "Ms. Pac-Man's Prize Pupil"". It is a illustrated children's book based on the video game character Pac-Man, and is also based on the animated Pac-Man television series by Hanna-Barbera. The images are in full color. The story begins with Pac-Man, and Baby Pac-Man on their way home from collecting "Power Pellets". As they return home, the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Sue, watch them. The ghost plan to dig a tunnle under Pac-Man's home and steal the Power Pellets. They get overly excited and Pac-Man hears them, and runs away from them. As they run away they have to enter various maze locations. The mazes are represented by illustrated mazes that fill a single page, the reader is advised to use their finger to find the path through the maze. As Pac-Man, and Baby Pac-Man get home they meet Ms. Pac-Man and begin watching television. While the Ghost dig under the house. The ghost however dig too far and hit a body of water instead and the tunnel gets flooded. The Pac family then listens happily as they hear the water push the ghost out of the tunnel. Pac-Man thinks the sound might be Pac-gophers. The book ends with the Pac-Man listening to the floor of the house, saying "I think they just added a swimming pool." This and its follow up book, were both made into audio book versions released by "Kid Stuff", they were read by a narrator, and for the maze sections there is a musical interlude. This book was originaly priced at $1.25.

The "Kid Stuff Records" company also released several earlier audio book stories based on the video game character. However these featured black and white illustrations and were not based on the television series. They also released several other video game based audio adventures.

This book is part of the Kid Stuff Records/Golden Books video game audio stories series.
