Classic Video Game Action Recreated Using Food and Everyday Items

by

It’s true, kids… There was a time when U.S. quarters and 8-bits worth of action ruled. Animator, PES, wants to give us the warm nostalgic feeling that only old-school video games can provide.

Game Over is a brilliant stop-motion animation that uses food and everyday items to recreate classic video game action.

The blistering speed and chaos of Centipede is recreated with muffins and cupcakes, while Pac-Man is made from a pizza pie with some slices removed. No wonder the ghosts chase him around. Quarters up!!

Bud Light, in their endless quest to get you to drink their diet beer-like beverage, has gone old-school with their #UpForWhatever campaign, creating a real-life game of Pac-Man.

The new commercial, that will run sometime during Super Bowl XLIX, features a bar patron just looking to score a beer. What the unsuspecting drinker doesn’t realize, is that he’ll have to earn his Bud Light by collecting power pellets and dodging giant ghosts.

His reward… minor internet fame, a shiny new Bud Light, and possibly a giant piece of fruit to take home for a snack. Please watch this…

Tic Tacs As Vintage Video Games

Tic Tacs have been around so long, that people were enjoying them when Pac-Man was still fun. To help pay homage to the antiquated technology and breath mint, the Miami Ad School created a series of ads of vintage video games made from Tic Tacs.

From candy Pac-Man and Snake to an Arkanoid board, the ads were probably fun to assemble. Not more fun than actually playing Arkanoid though… those bricks were crazy.
