[Wiltshire] PacMan celebration this Saturday

[Dianne Reuby]

Meant to post this sooner!

This Saturday (May 22) in Swindon we celebrate PacMan's 30th birthday
with three events.

A specially constructed maze in Wharf Green will be the venue for a
‘Human Pac-Man’ event. You'll be able to control a real life Pac-Man,
trying to avoid the giant ghosts while collecting dots. Participants and
onlookers will be able get a bird’s eye view of the action thanks to a
video camera feeding Swindon’s twenty-five square metre ‘Big Screen’.

The ‘Big Screen’ will also be host to one of the largest versions of the
original Pac-man game ever played and will be available to anybody who
wants to relive their youth or try this classic game for the first time.

Meanwhile, back at the Museum in Theatre Square, you can play variations
of Pac-Man on machines such as the Nintendo Game Cube, the original Game
Boy, Sega Master System and many other retro game systems. The museum
will also be staging a dedicated exhibition on the history of PacMan.

Events at Wharf Green run from 11-4, the Museum is open from 9.30 to 5.
