It was held in place by a nut on top of the cardboard, but I left a little play in it so that when people played with my joystick (yes, that happened all night long), it wouldn't get ripped off. The joystick itself was simply a long carriage bolt screwed into a small, red rubber ball. I wanted the thing to be true to the original machines, so using some reference photos I was able to find online, I recreated the area around the joystick and printed out the graphics that would have adorned a machine like this.įor the player select buttons, I used water bottle caps and embedded them into the cardboard, gluing them in place. Once that was printed, I simply ironed on the printed screen onto the shirt.Īs for the control area, that assembly was again simply made out of card board. I purchased a special type of printable heat transfer that comes in 8.5 x 11" sizes and printed out that downloaded screen shot. I then added a quarter (remember that's how you let it be known that you were next to play the machine) to the marquee as an extra detail.Īgain, I went online and found some screen shots of the Pac-Man screen and downloaded one that was high enough a resolution.
(I could have come up with something more elaborate like using a helmet or something, but this had the advantage of being free.) Inside the box, I simply used a cardboard ring to fit my head, glue it in place and it allowed the head piece to be worn like a hat. The idea was to light up the marquee just like the actual machine marquee would have been.) I then cut a hole in the front of the box, leaving enough of a border of the Pac-Man sign to be glued to. (In a later generation of this head piece, I actually created a compartment behind the marquee where I put a small, battery-powered LED light bar I bought at a dollar store. This would be glued to the front of the head piece. I then went online and did a search for the Pac-Man arcade machine header (or marquee) and found several that I could print on photo paper with my colour printer. (Note that the box is not a square and is wider at the front than at the back, like an arcade machine!) The pieces of cardboard were simply hot glued together, painted black with some dollar store paint and black electrical tape was used on the seams to give it a finished look.
In the case of the head, I simply took pieces of corrugated cardboard and cut panels to form the "box".
