Pacman Jones to Star in New PacMan Game

Finding an old game of Pacman online I couldn't help but picture what the newest PacMan game would like today. Although the setup would be the same all the little ghosts would be gone, and be replaced by police cars. The regular yellow Pacman would now prove to show the face of troubled athlete PacMan Jones instead. Yes this is a stretch but it really could work almost as if it was a combination of Grand Theft Auto and the old version of Pacman.

Level 1 would include 4 police cruisers in the center within the box waiting for a call when Jones creates problems with the authorities. The fruit will no longer be relevant as it would be replaced with different elements that caused the legal problems. This level will instead have a picture of two men fighting in a bar and when good old PacMan comes up to eat the picture there is a pause as a 3D box comes up with something like: "October 2003: Pacman Jones was sentenced to one year in jail after a bar fight while he was attending West Virginia University, however the sentence was suspended and he was put on two years probation." Then the game resumes as the police cruisers try to catch Jones as he attempts to eat the larger power pellets to flee the scene, and if he can eat all 4 before one of the cruisers get to him first well then you my friend have helped free PacMan Jones from the authorities.

Level 2 would be the same as Level 1 with a few minor changes. this time there is 5 police cruisers in the center box, and the picture happens to be of two women fighting with Jones smiling from ear to ear in the background. Once eaten the picture will read, "April 25th, 2005: Pacman Jones was at a club in Conley, Georgia around 3 a.m. When officers responded to a fight involving two women. a supervisor at the club, told police she was punched in the mouth by a woman who was with Jones. But she later told police the woman "had nothing to do with the altercation, a police report said. Both women were handcuffed, but were released without any arrests."

Level 3 Now things are getting tough and a little out of hand. What were 5 police cruisers have now become 3 police cruisers and 3 Black SUVs that run faster and work together to catch the culprit. By this time a picture of Jones lineup photo is there for the taking and then reads, "July 13th 2005: Pacman Jones, was arrested Wednesday on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation. Jones surrendered to Nashville police at Titans headquarters Wednesday morning. Jones was in handcuffs, a white T-shirt and light blue exercise pants when he appeared before a night court commissioner, who set bond at $7,000. The charges included one felony vandalism charge and two misdemeanor counts of assault."

Level 4 The game changes dramatically as it is shaped like a jail cell and this time there are no police cruisers or SUVs, but instead all the Cincinnati Bengals athletes that have been arrested in between 2006 and 2007 with little pictures of there faces running around the cell. Just as Jones feels more at home, he eats all but one of the power pellets and then the picture comes up of a no smoking sign but instead of the cigarette it is replaced by a stack of money. Once eaten it reads, "September 5th, 2005: A luncheon was held at the Renaissance Hotel. Later that evening Jones was counseled for a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening."

There are at least six more levels but I don't want to give it all away, I mean who wants to play a game when they already know the end result. All I can imagine is that you know about the rest of the problems Jones has caused over the course of his college and pro football days. Its only a matter of time before he is a thing of the past, just as the old Pacman game is.
