At IREX 2005, an electronics show in Japan, they demonstrated this robot Pacman game. A physical Pacman board with a robot Pacman controlled by remote control. The ghosts are just decoration on this model, but all of them light up, and the Pacman really picks up the “pills”. How cool would it be if the ghosts really chased him and turned blue when he picked up the power pills?

The project is actually Namco and Bandai sponsored, so I’m not sure if it’s a game that will be released, or just a fun demo to promote some other product.

Here’s a video of it in action.
