Pac-Man Stickers

[stevef]

Anyone remember buying packs of Pac-Man stickers? You also got a few scratchie cards with them that had a maze on them and you had to avoid scratching off the circles with the ghosts, then after you found all the ghosts, you added up all the points for eating the pills (must have been invented by some druggie:D). Also, I remember these packs of bubble gum that were in the shape of arcade machines (the pack, not the bubble gum:D).

Nice site, Daz. Great to see the old Pac-Man rub offs again. :) Unfortunately the only way it helped with the bubble gum packs was that I now remember one of them was Zaxxon. They were probably about 4" high, made of card and in the shape of an arcade machine, with the gum in the bottom.

Don't remember them, but would love to see them myself.Can't search at moment as work filters out a lot of games sites, so will look later.

I remember them now I've seen them! thanks for mentioning them!

[stevef]

Nice one Daz! I knew if anyone could find them, you could. Now I want one! You never know what's gonna pop into your head sometimes, eh?

[Mulletino]

cool! I remember those!

Unfortunately, it seems to have dislodged another distant memory of a similar item, candy pieces in a molded plastic box shaped like a game & watch with one of those stickers on which changed when you moved it sideways as a screen. I seem to remember also being a Donkey Kong one but can't place the others. :(

Lenticular sticker is the word you want!
can't recall these,but my local shop does the classic controller ones featured on this blog.

When the pacman stickers came out I can also remeber Pacman candy sweets that came in a carboard blister pack that you had to move the sweets round to get to the centre so you could eat them. Anyone got any pictures of these ?

I remember seeing pacman stickers stuck to lamp posts etc though I never got them myself.
