If you think that Pac-Man is already too boring, you might want to hear that scientists out there have remade the Pac-Man game using paramecia – microorganisms that you can control with a real joystick while a digital microscope relays the images to a computer screen, dubbed Pac-Mecium.
This game was created by a team led by Stanford University Bioengineering professor who thinks that his games will increase awareness on these organisms and how science is going to affect the behavior of animals, humans included. The team also created versions of other classic games, such as Pond Pong, Ciliaball and Biotic Pinball. Sounds quite scary and fun at the same time.
