CAT TRIAL #9: PAC-MAN™

Video Placeholder

Ready Player One

The Cat Trial #9 puts PAC-MAN™ and the ghosts back on the board. It brings the virtual world into a live action version of the popular video game. PAC-MAN™ is iconic; one of the most famous video games ever developed. And Caterpillar is bringing it back center stage, 40 years after its release, as only the Cat® Trials can: at a scale of epic proportions!

The goal is simple: gobble up all the pellets before the ghosts can get you. The classic, electronic chase scene features some unique POWER PELLETS and bonuses that only Cat Dealers can provide. So, you’re watching so much more than a re-imagined version of the game; it highlights the technology, the versatility, the agility and the power you demand in the real world.

Building the board
