Artist Turns the Classic Arcade Game into a Working Winding Toy
Rose Nazarali — July 29, 2009 — Art & Design
Pacman was an iconic arcade game back in the 80s and 90s and it seems as of late that many people are paying tribute to the old-school game.
This steampunk Pacman does not work using electricity but is a winding toy that cranks with a start button and four-way joystick to maneuver through through the game.
Even the Pacman ghosts got a bit of a makeover. They artist gave each one a little black mustache to go with the steampunk look of the overall game.
