Pac-Man Lamp Makes the Waka-Waka-Waka Sound

Posted on by

Pac-Man was the first video game I ever played in the arcade, and I was hooked. If you have a soft spot for our dot-eating pal, ThinkGeek has a cool Pac-Man lamp for your desk or bookshelf. The lamp looks like a cartoonized 3D version of the pizza-shaped dot chomper.

It doesn’t just light up either. When you plug it in, it plays the arcade game start music. It also has 12 different sound effects from the game to take you right back to your quarter-hoarding arcade days. Pac-Man measures 8-inches in diameter and appears to be made out of plastic.

The lamp is brightness adjustable and comes with a remote to control it from across the room. The remote can also trigger all the sounds. ThinkGeek will sell you the Pac-Man Lamp with Sound for $34.99, or you’ll need to insert 140 quarters.

1/4-Scale Pac-Man Arcade Machine Needs No Quarters

Posted on by

The very first arcade game I ever played a sit-down console style Pac-Man game at a Pizza Hut, and it was awesome. I fed more quarters into arcade games than I care to admit. If you want some of that ’80s arcade nostalgia in your home or office, check this out.

Numskull Designs‘ picture perfect 1/4 scale Pac-Man arcade cabinet comes complete with the real colors and art from the original machine. The 16.9″ tall mini machine itself is fully playable, and based off the original arcade ROM with all of the colors, sounds, and play you remember.

The cabinet has a 5-inch full-color TFT screen, and there’s a tiny arcade joystick and buttons on the console. Integrated speakers let you hear the wakka-wakka-wakka, and it runs on a rechargeable battery, so you can take it anywhere. The mini Pac-Man machine is being made in a limited edition of 10,000 pieces, and will set you back $179.99 at ThinkGeek.

Numskull plans on offering up Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, and Galaxian cabinets in 2019, so you start your collection now with Pac-Man.

Glow in the Dark Pac-Man Ghosts Lounge Pants

Posted on by


Upgrade your existing Pac-Man pajamas into something even cooler with a pair of glow in the dark Pac-Man Ghosts Lounge Pants. This comfy black lounge pant is festooned with those lovable 80’s enemies Inky, Blinky, and Clyde. Where’s Pinky? Well it’s a long story involving a power pellet and a long chase around an endless maze but you can see Pinky when you turn the lights out- glowing in his blue edible ghost form.

Would probably look awesome paired with a Pac-Man top. This officially licensed merchandise is made of 100% cotton with an elastic waist, external drawstring, open fly and most importantly side pockets. You need those pockets otherwise you’ll have to hold your cell phone in the waistband and walk like a hunched over peg-leg pirate to avoid having it slip out. Been there, Applecared that.

Google’s best Doodles of the last 20 years

Pac-Man LEGO Lamps: Bricka Bricka Bricka

Posted on by

Out of all of the good old 1980s arcade games, Pac-Man is one that truly stands out, with its simple looking but challenging gameplay, iconic characters, and memorable music and sounds, it’s a true masterwork of arcade gaming that’s still fun to play. I’ve got a few Pac-Man collectibles in my game room, but I’d really love to have one of these lamps, made from LEGO bricks.

Artist Jamieson Pond of Pugs and Bricks builds these lamps from thousands of painstakingly selected LEGO blocks to form pixel art versions of the Pac-Man and the ghosts from the classic arcade game. The larger Pac-Man lamp was made using over 4,000 pieces, and includes LED backlit LEGO likenesses of Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky, Clyde and a blue ghost. I’m not sure what the deal is with the green ghost though. Guess we’ll just have to call him “Greeny.” Priced at $800, it’s not cheap, but it sure looks cool.

The smaller Pac-Man lamp took 1,000 pieces to construct, though it’s still pricey at $195. But if you’re a true Pac-Man fanatic, I’m sure you can find a way to save up for one of these nifty lights.

I think the coolest of the designs is the 2,300 piece, 12″ tall Pac-Man nightlight tower, which is packed with (properly-colored) ghosts on every side, and Pac-Man on top. It’s $425.

Whether or not you decide to buy one of these sweet lamps, be sure to check out Pugs and Bricks Etsy shop, which is packed with cool LEGO mosaic geekery, including an epic Super Mario tower light that stands nearly 3 feet tall.

I’ve Got Pac-Man Fever, And The Only Cure Is These Boxer Briefs

Posted on by

Do you have Pac-Man fever? Is it driving you crazy? Well, calm down my arcade loving friend. Wear these Pac-Man Boxer Briefs. They’re perfect for when things get too hot and you just have to play Pac-Man for hours in your shorts. The rest of us will just enjoy them under our pants.

Even though I’m not aware of any actual documented cases of Pac-Man Fever, it’s obviously a withdrawal symptom from not playing the game. I can only assume that the victim runs a fever and starts burning up. So they take off all of their clothes, stripping down to their skivvies while making WAKKA-WAKKA-WAKKA noises. So now you have something appropriate to wear when it hits you.

You get three pairs of button fly boxer briefs with contrasting buttons and a stretchy elastic waistband. They come packed in a tin because it’s the future.

Man, we are living the dream in 2018. Best timeline. You’re telling me I can buy 3 pairs of boxers in a damn tin? With Pac-Man all over them? Sweet. The set of three will set you back $39.99 from ThinkGeek. I’m waiting for a Galaga set myself. Or maybe Space Invaders.
