Press Release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26, 2019 \/PRNewswire\/ – AtGames\u00ae Cloud Holdings Ltd., a leader in interactive entertainment products, today announced that it has acquired all the rights of General Computer Corporation (GCC) with respect to Ms. PAC-MAN under agreements between GCC and Bandai Namco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1981, GCC developed certain source code, characters, music, game play and cartoons expressed in various media including but not limited to read-only memory (ROM) used in running the Ms. PAC-MAN and PAC-BABY (sold as JR. PAC-MAN) games. In 1983, GCC entered into an agreement with the predecessor of Bandai Namco with regard to Ms. PAC-MAN, which was later amended in 2008 in an agreement between Bandai Namco and the former shareholders of GCC, who had become the successors-in-interest to GCC after its dissolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As part of our ongoing initiative to be caretakers of important cultural touchstones, we are privileged to gain these valuable rights pertaining to the iconic Ms. PAC-MAN arcade game,” says Dr.\u00a0Ping-Kang Hsiung, CEO of AtGames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
