Interlocking Pac-Man lights offer endless mazes, zero subtlety

Those intrigued by the idea of interlocking light blocks but disappointed by the subtlety of some of the current options available may want to take note of Remake Design's latest creation, which takes the idea to excessive new heights. As you can see, they've churned out a series of blocks to let you relive your past Pac-Man adventures on a grand scale, including blocks of dots, ghosts, and Pac-Man himself -- no power-ups though, it seems. No word on a price just yet, but given that the firm's standard set of four solid-colored lights costs $300, you'll likely have to part with a sizable stash of quarters if you want to add this particular retro touch to your living room

It looks like the four ghosts asexually reproduced into twelve. Poor Pacman.

And?


Wow you dug it. What do you want? A Blue Peter Badge?

No, Engadget doesn't need my help to be successful.

hot Asian girl. :P

*dances off* "I was first, I was first. Beat the 16y/o virgins to the post" Stupid 16 y/o's


And for you slow of wit, I know that her nationality can't be gleaned from the back.

[Carbonize @ Jan 31st 2008 1:22PM]

And for those even slower of wit, no you weren't first.

@Carbonize

I think he just meant that he was first to make comment on the female in the picture. Not necessarily first post. Although I could be wrong.

[majortom @ Jan 31st 2008 1:42PM]

thank you strangebum for pointing out to the slowest of wit my intent

[Zzephyr @ Jan 31st 2008 2:31PM]

I don't care if you're first. I'd take sloppy seconds with that one.

[Carbonize @ Jan 31st 2008 3:42PM]

Ok I withdraw my comment. BTW who's to say it's not a man? Or even a lady boy?

Oh and given it's a French company I'd say they are French whatever gender they are.

[Aashish Jain @ Jan 31st 2008 1:22PM]

I think I see a power-up between Pac-Man and the red ghost.

[elysium2go @ Jan 31st 2008 1:24PM]

"subltety?"
sub-leet'ity? where the scorned pwned are mocked in perpetuity?

[Carbonize @ Jan 31st 2008 1:31PM]

I've personally given up on correcting the spelling in Engadget posts. I mean Firefox comes with a built in spell checker and IE7Pro has one so why is it so hard to proof read before hitting submit :|

[Carbonize @ Jan 31st 2008 1:32PM]

Doh! forgot to hit reply.

[toyotaboy @ Jan 31st 2008 1:54PM]

quite possibly the most hideous use of lights I've ever seen.

[sinai @ Jan 31st 2008 3:10PM]

i dont care how much money you have, if you purchase this, your a ritardid.

[skulldriveshaft @ Jan 31st 2008 8:28PM]

$300 for a set of four?

I bet if you're old enough to remember wasting money in an arcade on Pac-Man you already know how to make a light box with gel cut outs and black borders.

Lite Brites are being ripped apart as we speak.

It that was somehow functional I'd love it for my game room. The price point isn't too bad... but then again I also have an Optimus Keyboard.
