That may be the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
10 points to anyone who can build a fully playable version of it...
her or the tree?
Surely that 25 year old Christmas tree would have shed its dots by now...
Thats the coolest thing i have ever seen!!
"Hello. We'd been told that under the Europa Tower there was a stupendous digital christmas tree... and it is filled with the pac-man (the coconut eater)"
"Hello we we're told that there was a Digital Christmas tree under the Europa tower, and it's full of ghost eaters"
Coco also means ghost in spanish
jaja entiendo! "me come el coco!" jaja coco as in monster, not coco as in coconut
Thats the best thing I've seen all week, I so want one for my apartment!!!1
I would definetly own this level.
on second thought... those dots at the top of the tree look really hard to get...
Looks more like the Daft Punk pyramid. Hella cool though.
Thats exactlty what i thought when i saw it! God.... Daft Punk were amazing live.
it is supremely awesome but it would rock even more if it would actually move, you know, pacman eating the coconuts and the ghosts, but it's ok... I guess... wouldn't mind having this in the front yard hehe
I agree wholeheartedly. I was expecting to see a demo of the actual game in action, but I guess this is okay too.
This could probably be done with some large outdoor LED sign displays. Would sure be a cool (but expensive) project to make a full motion version of this!
It looks as if they simply used LEDs or incandescent bulbs arranged in patterns with slight shifts for the ghosts and pac-man.
My first thought: LiteBrite
That's pretty cool.
That's really cool, but the Atari version is awful.
So, you sing Christmas carols around the Christmas tree... what are you supposed to sing around the Pac-Man tree?
"Woowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoo"
"Brump brump brump brump brump"

I apologize for that!
Pure Win.
If only there were joysticks on all the sides. =)
Duuuuuude. I must have it. I don't care that I live in an apartment with 10 foot ceilings. I'll lean it out the balcony. It is full of such a critical mass of win that no one would ever complain, just stare in awe and wonder. Especially once I start blaring Buckner & Garcia out the window on repeat.
Thank god this isn't in Boston, or else Massachusetts'd declare a state of emergency.
So Awesome.
Have yourself a nerdy little Christmas... all we need now is Space Invaders mistletoe.
Dear gods that's awesome
Pac-Man is cool.
my girlfriend keeps bugging me about getting a pac-tree this year, but i just can't bring myself to do it. It seems so wasteful. all those pac-tree's cut down for a simple holiday. and do you know how long it takes one of those things to grow?
now that is cool!
Hi! we are from a spanish design brand DUYOS and we have designed this pacman tree, it is in Azca area, madrid. it is great that people like it so much!!
