Fury Fingers: ‘Pac-Man: Come Out To Play’

February 26, 2016 By Ms. ausretrogamer

Much to our delight, our favourite Aussie filmmakers, Fury Fingers, have gone retro with their latest offering: ‘Pac-Man: Come Out To Play‘ – a gritty Pac-Man reboot inspired by the classic movie The Warriors.

The film stars the talented fight choreographer Anthony Rinna as Pac-Man and the awesome Sweezy freerunning team as the parkour gang / ghosts. Impressively, it was filmed guerrilla-style in Adelaide over 5 nights for next to nothing.

Now enjoy Pac-Man: Come Out To Play – in Fury Fingers’ words ‘the grit has hit the fan!’

Catastrophic Creations: Mario Cat Complex 2.0

February 13, 2016 By Ms. ausretrogamer

If you and your cat love retrogaming, look no further than the Mario Cat Complex 2.0 by Catastrophic Creations. We don’t have any cats, but we’re tempted to buy one anyway because they’re just so cool!

We hope you have a big house because they also make an amazing Pac-Man Cat Complex.

Here’s where it all started, the Indiana Jones Cat Bridge.

Sadly the Chain Chomp Cat Bed is no longer for sale, but we can still admire its simple brilliance.
