Pac-Man tears it up in the Retro Sabotage feature “What’s Next?

Retro Sabotage isn’t your typical Flash gaming site. Rather than provide Flash knock-offs of classic games, it instead focuses on using the games to tell a story. They games are basically movies that you can control to an extent. Once you reach a predetermined goal in the game, the movie parts kick in.

So far, there are playable movies based on Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Pong, and Tetris. They’re all good for a laugh, too. Some of them are even a little disturbing. Not to ruin anything, but the Pac-Man story “The Morning After” is a take on the game where the power pellets inebriate our little yellow protagonist. He eventually will black out because of this only to awake the morning after with a predictable yet funny predicament.

    Let me guess… You found the Space Invaders “Invasion” one creepy? Because that one is just totally eerie.
