The new MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar might not be the most useful tool for professionals quite yet, but it’s quickly becoming a perfect playground for retro gaming. Two new hacks bring classic games Pac-Man and Lemmings to the Touch Bar.

The MacBook Pro’s tiny OLED display seriously limits gameplay, though: You can barely make turns in Pac-Man, but it still looks better than Doom on the Touch Bar.

Get a peek at the Touch Bar gameplay in the videos below.

Pac-Man on Touch Bar

You can download the Pac-Man app directly from GitHub. To install it, just drag the file to your applications folder. From there, simply open the app anytime you want to play and the game will appear in your MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar.

Lemmings on Touch Bar

Developer Erik Olsson created this version of Lemmings that runs on the Touch Bar. The game allows you to tap on the Touch Bar to limit where the critters can wander back and forth from. Lemmings for Touch Bar can also be downloaded directly from GitHub.
