? It’s Pac-Man’s 45th birthday, and My Arcade is celebrating with two new officially licensed devices: the Pac-Man 45th Anniversary Mighty Player and the Pac-Man 45th Anniversary Pocket Player Max. Both units pack classics like PAC-MAN (Classic), PAC-MAN (Speed-Up), PAC-LAND, SUPER PAC-MAN, and PAC & PAL, along with rechargeable batteries and that bold anniversary graffiti-style artwork. ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we dig into what you actually get for the asking price, how these new devices stack up against other Pac-Man and mini-arcade releases, and whether they’re worth it for collectors or just hardcore maze-chasers. ?
