Pac-Man Lights Won't Chomp Your Wall or Attract Ghosts

This Pac-Man modular lighting system from French company Remake will fire up anyone with latent '80s videogame nostalgia within them. The glowing bricks interlock, so you can build your own maze complete with ghosts, power dots and of, course, the yellow chomper himself.

Sadly, it's a static set-up, so you won't spend ages hypnotized by Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde's attempts to catch the little yellow pill-gobbler. It should, however, let those memories of hours spent feeding quarters into a machine down at the arcade come flooding back. On display at the recent Maison & Objet 2008 show in Paris, we don't know if the Pac-Man lighting system is available to buy yet. [Technabob]

Real Life Pacman (Kind of)

Namco and Bandai showed off this project at IREX 2005 this year. It is a little too farfetched to be a real toy on the market, but nevertheless it's pretty cool. It is a scaled up PacMan map that features a robot PacMan along with Pinky, the pink ghost. The robot is controlled by you, as you play the actual video game on a television screen. Just when you thought Namco had managed to milk every single cent out of the PacMan franchise they pulled out something else that is pretty sweet.
