When you take five joysticks, combine them to to move one single PacMan, you end up with something called PACK-MAN. The game is played based on the simple rule, majority rules, if three people move their joysticks up and two people move theirs down, then PacMan will move up.
If one person moves left and one person moves right, PacMan will do neither. The software remains essentially unchanged, although it runs much slower (to account for the speed of group decision-making) and graphics have been added across the bottom of the screen to communicate what each of the joysticks is doing at any given time

Majority decision? In PACMAN?? That’s ridiculous. But I like the idea.
