One of the new features of the new MacBook Pro that attracted the most attention was the Touch Bar, an OLED touch screen that allows us to increase productivity when working regularly with the MacBook Pro, since it shows us shortcuts to the functions most used by the applications. But it is not the only function that some developers have found in this elongated screen. Previously we have already talked about the possibilities it offers us to be able to play Doom or to play the piano. Two new games are added to these two extra functions, which Jony Ive surely did not have planned: Pac-Mac and the legendary Lemmings.
The new Touch Bar has become the ideal platform for all those users who want to recall those games that triumphed in the 90s by turning the Touch Bar into a retro gaming platform. Pac-Man and the Lemming have joined the list of games that already allows us to play directly on the elongated OLED screen of the new MacBook Pro models. Obviously, this elongated screen offers us many limitations to be able to enjoy those retro games, but as a curiosity or simply to remember old times it is not bad at all.

If you are one of the lucky ones that you already have this new MacBook Pro model in your hands and want to try one of these games, you can stop by following link on GitHub for download and install it on your Mac. You simply have to drag the downloaded file to the applications folder to be able to enjoy it whenever you want and in a very discreet way.

This mythical game is also available through the GitHub platform by pressing the following link. Although the gameplay is not the same, we can at least see how these cute little blue men with green hair walk around.
