Were you a child of the Eighties? If so, you’ll recall a number of glorious things from that terrifically colourful, bombastic decade: big hair, Dallas, rubix cubes, Wham!, Live Aid and – perhaps best of all – Pac-Man.
Yes, forget Pong or Donkey Kong, Pac-Man was the video game that made the decade, as he ran around a maze on a black screen eating up as many pellets as he could find, and all while avoiding his four mortal enemies Blinky, Pinky Inky and Clyde.
And if you spent far too much of your misplaced youth trying to make this loveable pie-chart lookalike reach the promised land that was level 255, then you’ll love the 80s retro Pac-man designs on offer at Gadget Inspector.
If you’re heading off to a wedding this autumn but don’t have the right finishing touch, these Pac-Man Cufflinks will undoubtedly give you that smouldering ‘geek-chic’ look. Or, for companionship during long journeys, choose the Pac-Man portable speaker which is battery-powered and weighs just 116g. It also ingeniously conserves power by switching on and off upon inserting and removing the audio cable from your iPod or audio device.
A totally awesome option for parties and home use is the Pac-Man Bottle Opener, perfect for those old-school gamers who want to reminisce about the good old days with a collection of cold beers. And this Pac-Man is so much more than a bottle opener: it’s equipped with two small magnets, which sit in the back of its mouth, allowing him to stick conveniently to your fridge door. Plus, the magnets make the bottle tops stay in his mouth once they’ve been opened – no more finding old tops under the sofa three months later!
Last but not least: you’re going to need protection from the elements this autumn, and what better way to stay dry than with this geek-tastic Pac-Man Arcade Poncho?
