Made by Namco, it commemorates the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man and is identical to the cabinets first played in pubs and arcades all those years ago. Yes, same head-to-head gameplay, graphics and sound, with a 'flip' 19-inch LCD screen and authentic four-way joystick control to help you along.

Oh yes, if you get bored of it, there are 12 other iconic arcade games also on board, including Galaga, Galaxian, and Dig Dug. Full details on the retailer's website, the price of it is $3,500.

Pacman

Yes, the Pac-Man merchandise just keeps coming – the latest being these rather wonderful Pac-Man Ghost Lamps.

Take your pick from white, red, blue and yellow, all shaped like those Pac-Man ghosts and using 20 to 40w bulbs for the light. We're talking mood light here obviously – not sure it's ideal as a work or bedside reading lamp to be honest.

If you want one (or more), ThinkGeek is selling them online, each one retailing for $69.99, which is around £44.

If old arcade games (and hot drinks) are your thing, you might just like this Pac-Man heat changing mug.

An officially licensed product via Namco, the mug holds your hot drink and does something else – when a hot drink hits it, the characters and power-ups suddenly appear within the maze on the side. Presumably, when it cools, they go away again.

You can get one from Firebox, priced at £5.99.

Lovers of vintage gaming will no doubt love this 8-bit Hanger by Meninos. As will lovers of quirky home furnishings.

Yes, it's just like the hand of an old Nintendo character – Mario, Luigi, whoever you like really. Made from MDF and acrylic, with a screw-in fitting, the hand is available to hold anything you like, but would probably look and work better with an extra hand or two in the hallway.

But if you just want the one, it will retail for $19.99 (£13.33).
