The 4-way joystick and buttons provide authentic control as you attempt to navigate the maze, dodge Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, and gobble up pac-pellets, power pellets, and bonus fruits.

Pixelparty, the Etsy member who did the cool Ms. Pac-Man Hairpins, has now created a wonderful wooden Pac-Man ghost wall decoration.

Woody is made from a recycled ikea dresser. Moving and overfilling the drawers reduced it to a pile of rubble and boxer shorts. I just couldn’t bear to throw away all that wood.

This one doesn’t do much though. Ok, it’s got two bright blinking blue LED eyes and an ‘ooohing’ sound that’s “like it’s been sampled from an 1980s horror film”. But it looks quite cool in all its Pac-Man ghost simplicity.

The Oooooh Ghost LED Keyring is yours for £3 (about $6 USD).
