CNN - Eighties kids, rejoice! Toy company Lego is about to release a 2,561-piece set celebrating “Pac-Man.”
The set is based on a real 1980s arcade game cabinet and comes complete with a light brick to illuminate the coin slot, Lego said on its website.
“Pac-Man” was launched in Tokyo in 1980 and went on to become the most successful arcade game of all time. Players control Pac-Man, a yellow, cheese-shaped character who is tasked with eating every small dot inside a maze while at the same time avoiding four ghosts.
While the Lego set does not actually function as a gaming system, it is “loaded with retro game details you’ll want to devour,” the company says.
It features what Lego calls a “mechanical maze,” which is operated by turning a crank on the side of the set.
