Namco Networks, has announced its ‘Win a PAC-MAN-themed smart car’ sweepstakes to celebrate the video game icon’s 30th birthday.

From May 21 through August 20, participants from the U.S. and Canada are encouraged to visit PAC-MAN’s official site and fill out the electronic entry form. No purchase is required to enter but you must be at least 18 years of age. Further information on the sweepstakes, including official rules and regulations, can also be found there. The winner of the brand new 2010 PAC-MAN-themed smart car will be selected on September 3, 2010.

According to Kenji Hisatsune, CEO of Namco Networks, “Over the last 30 years, PAC-MAN has continued to evolve and be relevant with his fans—no matter the demographic or generation. Giving away a smart car that commemorates his 30 years is a way for us to show our appreciation to one of the many fans out there.”

In addition to the car sweepstakes, Google has created a PAC-MAN-specific doodle to celebrate PAC-MAN’s 30th anniversary. Since 1998, Google has found innovative ways to celebrate unique events by changing the Google logo. For the next 48 hours, PAC-MAN fans can play all 256 levels of PAC-MAN by clicking on the “insert coin” or waiting a few seconds. While Google has created more than 300 doodles in the U.S., and over 700 internationally, this is the first time a doodle has been playable or had sound.
