Following last years frenzy the Museum of Computing are returning this year to celebrate Ms. PAC-MANs 30th Anniversary.
Try your skills in the Pacmaze... can u humanly beat blinky and friends to devour all the pellets... or get retro with the original plug and play Ms. PAC-MAN and PAC-MAN.
Meanwhile homebase at the Museum of Computing (6-7 Theatre Square) play PAC-MAN and Ms. PAC-MAN on variety of formats and also see 35 years of handheld games consoles in our 'Gaming on the Go' exhibition.
