While there were other games that came before it, Pac-Man is the game that cemented the image and feel of arcade games into our collective consciousness. At least that’s the way it seems to me… even if I much prefer Galaga.
If you do prefer Pac-Man, and would like to have it with you at all times in a satisfyingly small form factor. The OLEDiCADE from Pheonix Cnc, Oleduino hits both the video game nostalgia mark and one for custom electronics geeks like me! It can be played with one hand using the tiny joystick, and has a screen that’s only 56x28mm. Even with the small screen, Pac-Man (which scrolls up and down to display the entire maze) looks quite good. The device also features versions of Flappy Bird, Breakout, and even Octopus, giving you something to fiddle with when you need a quick distraction.
You can watch seller Hayri describe and play the game in the video below. He also shows off a 3D-printed case for it, which will be available sometime in the future.
For other tiny gaming options, you might also check out the impressive and versatile TinyPi, or even the Tiny Arcade cabinet—unquestionably the smallest video game that you can also see through. If you care to challenge me on my vintage arcade opinions facts, you can ping me @JeremySCook, or you can find Tindie at—you guessed it—@Tindie.
