Every detail was carefully considered and crafted, resulting in a one-of-a-kind LEGO creation that captures the magic of the original game while adding a playful new twist and a couple of Easter eggs - in true video game style. “Our team of talented designers worked tirelessly to capture the essence of the beloved PAC-MAN arcade machine in brick form, from PAC-MAN himself to the colourful, maze-like environment he inhabits. “We are always looking for new and exciting ways to bring classic gaming experiences to life,” Sven Franic, Lego designer said in a news release. Fans of Lego’s recent Nintendo Entertainment System and Atari 2600 redux will likely jump at this. Lego is no stranger to nostalgia plays, with upcoming sets covering Batman Returns, the Indiana Jones movies, and the king of side-scrolling himself, Mario, but the Pac-Man set is an interesting twist on the format - both a loving ode to the Pac-Man character and design as well as the arcade experience. A crank on the machine will also let builders simulate the gameplay. The set also comes with a miniature diorama of an ’80s gamer dominating the arcade and a larger set of Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde to adorn the cabinet. The build emulates a classic arcade machine, complete with Pac-Man’s classic maze, a joystick, and a coin slot (but don’t worry: no real quarters are required to enjoy). Lego announced on Monday that Pac-Man would get the brick treatment in a brand-new arcade set.
Pac-Man’s battle royale game may be shutting down, but the spherical yellow dot-chomper’s legacy lives on - now in Lego form.
