Many gamers have a soft spot for retro arcade games, so what could be better than playing Pac-Man, Pong, or Space Invaders? How about a video game that combines all three into one? That’s what you’ll be getting from Indie game developer Dick Poelen’s Pacapong.

The game’s primary feature is that you control two special paddles, just like in Pong. They can shoot Pac-Man pellets up the screen at invader enemies, and the paddles also have the ability to move in all directions, not just up and down. The paddles also catch and shoot the ball back and forth, except the ball is actually Pac-Man, and instead of blank space, the middle of the screen holds the Pac-Man maze, complete with ghosts and pellets. 

If the game doesn’t seem like it could get any cooler, then hold on. Not only is it free, but you can play 1-2 players with local multiplayer, and it supports gamepad, WASD, and ZQSD control options. The game is also available in 1080p, 60fps. Oh, yeah, and Donkey Kong shoots throws barrels in your way sometimes. 

This Frankenstein’s mash-up of a game is available for download on PC, Mac, and Linux.
