Ben Fleskes of bigbenbricks.com is a brilliant designer/sculptor of making insanely difficult things out of LEGO blocks. This time, Ben created this amazing 80’s style Pac-Man arcade machine made out of LEGO blocks. Standing at 34 inches, this Pac-Man arcade machine is fully functional! Outside of the electronics, joy stick controls, speakers, and the Jamma 48-1 board that allows the player to play classic games such as retro games of the yesteryears such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders, everything on this arcade machine is pure LEGOs. What’s even more awesome is the fact that Ben didn’t cut down or alter a single block of LEGO to fit his design. I really dig the detailed work on the Pac-Man graphics done in LEGO on the side of the cabinet and the face plate on the top of the machine. It’s freakin’ brilliant!

Here, the control console is removed. Top left is an ATX power supply. Top right is the Jamma 48-1 PCB. Lower portion is the control console (turned upsdie down) with push buttons and a switchable 4-way/8-way joystick. (Some games work better with 8-way joysticks, others with 4-way joysticks.)
The control console is held in with four technic pins hidden panels. Some screws are used to hold the joystick in place,
No LEGO pieces were cut or altered to make this.
Here is a view inside the back access door. The white cord on the top leads to two powered speakers for sound.
This really answered my issue, thank you so much!
