November 25, 2015 by Rudy PanucciThis is the perfect gift for the avid videogamer who hasn’t picked up a joystick since 1983.
Celebrating the legacy of Pac-Man. Bandai’s Pac-Man Connect and Play brings back your favorite classic video games right to your television! The battery-operated old school joystick connects right to your TV.

A huge added bonus is Pac-Man 256, which offers fans the chance to play the coveted level once made unavailable due to a bug in the program of the supposedly never-ending game. The 256 Challenge lets you begin where the original game left off. The unique Pac-Man shaped controller is designed to reflect the nostalgia of 80’s arcade style gaming.
The Store and Play feature allows real Pac-Man fanatics to store the cord in the controller for the best display of Pac-Man. Requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Recommended for ages four and up, and available all over the place, Toys R Us, Family Dollar, Amazon. It’s usually less than twenty dollars.
For those of us who get helplessly lost trying to navigate a modern videogame system, with all the buttons and first-person shooter stuff, this is a great way to sit in front of the TV wasting time playing a videogame without feeling like a moron, or dropping hundreds of dollars on games.
