pac-man quilt with moving pieces

filed under: geek art & craft | retro | video games

While this isn’t the first Pac-Man quilt we’ve ever seen, I would argue it’s the best. Why? Because the Pac-Man and ghost pieces are movable, so you can play with them on the quilty game board!

The blue parts are appliqued on with yellow buttons sewn on for the dots. The characters are hand-sewn for maximum cuteness!

Crafter Curegreed made this as a treat for her boyfriend…

classy pac-man on the high fashion runway

filed under: retro | strange and wonderful | video games

You may not be into high fashion runway shows, the Spring/Summer 2009 Giles Deacon collection might change your mind. Most of the models wore giant Pac-Man characters on their heads!

Pac-Man Clyde Hat

I can’t decide if these Pac-Man skull caps are awesome or just weird. Let’s just go with awesomely weird. The colorful ghosts of video games past make yet another appearance, this time as crocheted hats.

Crafter ShadowsInTheNyte hand knits these goofy ghost hats to look like familiar video game characters…

Ben Sherman Blinky Shoes Pac-Man

I’ve got a (Pac-Man) fever, and the only prescription is more Blinky. Well the good news is that there are certainly plenty of Pac-Man’s ghostly pals to go around on these most excellent sneakers from designer Ben Sherman.

Sherman’s aptly-named Blinky Shoes are covered from end-to-end with tons of little monochromatic ghosts, with just one red Blinky hidden on each shoe…

anti pac-man: you control the ghosts

filed under: strange and wonderful | video games

Anti Pac-Man

Here’s an interesting concept, what if Pac-Man’s gameplay were the exact opposite of what you’ve come to expect after all these years.

Pac-Man Pillows by Punzie

This set of fun Pac-Man pillows features the likenesses of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, the ghosts from the classic 1980s arcade game.

But flip them over, and you’ll get some of those frantic blue ghosts on the run as if you just chomped down on a big old power pill…
