Relive the 256 trials of your
favorite yellow hero from May 1980, Pac-Man, in two arcade-style themes:
Classic (yellow-bordered) or Energized (blue-bordered). Featuring Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan), and Clyde (orange)
in three color schemes: standard; scared (blue and white); and eaten (floating
eyeballs). Recreate and display your favorite iconic scene for all to see. This
is designed to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed in an office, workspace,
coffee station, game room, hallway, classroom, collectible display, or anywhere
else that epic displays appear.
I built this to provide a
high-quality display that incorporates feelings of nostalgia for the millions
of people that have enjoyed the Pac-Man games with the iconic representation of
Pac-Man that is shared by people of all ages and genders. I approached this
project build with a desire to create a Retro Arcade representation in a form
that is customizable and that can be displayed on a wall in a manner that does
not feel intrusive. To this end, Pac-Man serves as a perfect fit. The arcade
representation is achieved through a very flat construction style that captures
the iconic, easily-recognizable visual representation of Pac-Man. The creativity
allowed through Lego design provides the unique opportunity for easy
customization to represent any desired Pac-Man scenario.
- The main Pac-Man board is a stand-alone component that
is designed to slide into the frame. This allows for an easy transition to
either of the frame options without needed to deconstruct anything within
the main view.
- An optional hanging attachment provides a unique
experience for displaying the pieces that are not in use on the board, eg.
ghosts, scared ghosts, ghost eyes, bonus items. This area is constructed
in its own unique Pac-Man view with a Pac-Man shown on both sides
converging on a power-dot in the center. This attachment can be:
- Detached and displayed separately. If the display
feels too large with it attached or you just want a stand-alone smaller
Pac-Man display.
- It does not have to be constructed at all. The
necessary pieces are included to make the frame smooth across the bottom.
- A joystick can be attached in the middle of the Energized dot to further the representation of an arcade machine.
- All bonus items available in their 8-bit glory:
- cherry - 100 pts
- strawberry - 300 pts
- orange - 500 pts
- apple - 700 pts
- melon - 1000 pts
- galaxian boss - 2000 pts
- bell - 5000 pts
- key - 5000 pts
This makes for a fantastic Lego set
because it combines three driving Lego principles: (1) creativity and
imagination; (2) iconic display; and (3) thematic representation.
The base set build along with the high applicability for customization fuels
the creativity and imagination that drives all Lego sets. The layout of
the set makes for an iconic display in the traditional style of unique
presentation that goes hand-in-hand with the idea of building with Legos.
Pac-Man has been a recognizable and loved figure for 40 years and yields a thematic
representation that is easily recognizable in households and workplaces.
