So we’ve seen how Doom was ported onto the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar, and recently we’ve also seen how the Touch Bar can also be used to simulate a piano, so it really doesn’t come as a surprise to see that some developers have managed to get more games up and running on the laptop’s new feature.
In fact the latest games to find their way onto the Touch Bar are Pac-Man and Lemmings. The former was created by Henry Frank while the latter is made by Erik Olsson. In a way both games played on the Touch Bar kind of make sense given the nature of their gameplay, and could be a great way to pass the time, just make sure your lecturer/boss doesn’t catch you playing it while you’re supposed to be paying attention in class or at work!

Ironically enough this wasn’t the intention of the Touch Bar to begin with. When Apple launched their new MacBook Pros, they also released some guidelines on what developers should use the Touch Bar for. Basically the idea is that the Touch Bar should be an extension of the keyboard and not act as a secondary display, but hey, rules were meant to be broken, right?
In any case for those who are interested, Pac-Man can be downloaded here while Lemmings can be found here. Safe to say that both games will require you to own the latest MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar.
